  1. Hi everyone,

     

    I will be away at a competition in the Czech Republic until 11th May. Any new

    members, if you can just be patient and I will be in touch upon my return.

     

    Thanks

    Neil

  2. Time to do the opposite and tick the "Is daylight savings time in effect?" box again folks (unless you're in Malaysia that is ;))

  3. You're right Clive and it should be an 'information' message and not an error.

    I thought exactly the same when I first saw it. The authors have just used an

    error dialog for all messages shown to users - not ideal I know :unsure:

  4. Karly,

     

    MyDoom uses more that just zip for attachments, it masquerades as txt, bat, scr

    and many others. It will install an SMTP (mail) server on your computer and then

    scan your machine - text files, html files, address books etc for any email

    addresses it can find and then fake some emails and spread the virus.

     

    The attachments are always between 32-34kb in size - it's a good idea to turn

    on the size column in Outlook then you can get an indication by the size of the

    email before even opening it :D

  5. LOL

     

    My sisters were told that they could get one from Sloan's (a shop just

    outside Aberdeen) for around £150. I will find out what kind it is.

     

    Cheers

  6. I'm looking for a lightweight pistol for my sisters. They are 7,9 & 11 and have

    just started triathalon, with air pistol shooting being one part of it.

     

    Bearing in mind their age and expertise something simple and lightweight

    (and cheap) is the main criteria.

     

    Anyone have/know of a suitable air pistol?

     

    Thanks

  7. But it's not actually a trojan Si ;)

     

    It's a Micky$oft "feature" :P

    Norton AV latest pattern file does not pick it up and nor would I really expect it

    to.

     

    Where it is likely to catch people out is where someone gets sent a faked HTML

    email that looks like it has come from their bank and asks them to log in. You will

    most likely be taken to a site that looks identical and log in and before you know

    it the 'fraudster' has your login details. Some Barclay's customers were hit by this

    a few weeks back.

  8. Just a warning to you all.

     

    Back in December an exploit was found in IE (5.01, 5.5 and 6)

     

    It allows one to show one URL in the address bar but actually

    take the victim to another.

     

    Here is a very simple page I've just created:

    http://www.stirton.com/test.htm

     

    The implications are huge. Barclays bank has just been hit by this.

    Someone made a spoof copy of their site and then sent out emails with

    the exploit and tricked customers into thinking that they were on

    the legit site.

  9. I'm afraid we are not all English, we do have several US citizens on board here

    but none have behaved quite like you.

     

    I'm sorry you do not like how things are run but the majority do.

     

    Sorry to see you go :unsure:

     

    (Oh and it's "tight")

  10. I have spoken to EC and brought to his attention the intention of this forum.

     

    I do not want to make this a "UK" only forum, although it is prodominently at the

    moment, as the point is to establish a community worldwide. We want to know of

    international competitions and how others train etc.

     

    Let's leave it at that!

  11. The forum has been upgraded by 2 revisions. I haven't had time of late to keep the

    forum up to date with the most current version but there were some significant

    security flaws which have now been addressed.

     

    The calendar functionality has been improved along with a few other things - enjoy!

     

    Any issues, then please email me forum-admin@stirton.com or report them in the

    Bugs forum.

     

    Thanks

    Neil

  12. Can I please ask that if you set autoresponders on your email accounts when you

    are away that you change your Email Settings in "My Controls" so that all email

    notifications are *off* (such as PM notifications), so that I do not receive lots of

    emails from your responder.

     

    Many thanks,

    Neil
