Guest Jordon Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 But there's nothing in C:\Recycler\... I'm using the Corporate Edition of NAV on our Win2k Server based network. It's an older version but it gets updates regularly. I'm not really interested in discussing the merits (or lack thereof) of Norton unless it directly involves my situation. I don't know, maybe NAV is broken. Norton is reporting that there is a virus found in my C:\Recycler\ (Win2k Pro). It says it's Trojan.Gernid and it's an .exe within a zip file. I've researched what this virus is suppose to do but as far as I can tell my computer isn't infected, other than the fact that Norton says it's there. The recycle bin is empty and I empty it on a semi-regular basis. A manual scan shows nothing but every 10 minutes the virus history list in NAV shows another instance of the virus. Is NAV broken or is there something I haven't considered? -- Jordon Quote

Guest ~BD~ Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Should we be suspicious? "Peter Foldes" <okf22@hotmail.com> has recently said.. "You should see my W2K3 Enterprise Sever boot. From cold boot to fully loaded Desktop 46 seconds including LAN connection" (his mis-spelling of 'Server') Wikipedia tells me ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Server ) "An enterprise server is a computer system which performs an essential service for a large organization. Examples include corporate web servers, print servers, and databases. A key feature distinguishing an enterprise server is that even a short-term failure can cost more than purchasing and installing the system. For example, it may take only a few minutes' down time at a national stock exchange to justify the expense of entirely replacing the system with something more reliable." Perhaps that isn't true. Mr Foldes has also previously advised that he has a T3 Connection. Detailed/Technical DS3-T3 Definition http://www.realtimet1search.com/news/article_282.php which mentions: "Who uses DS-3s? Companies who host high traffic web sites, support web hosting, and need high capacity bandwidth on an as-needed basis. Also universities/colleges, government offices, and high volume call centers. A full DS3 can accommodate many simultaneous users depending on the requirements of the business. Generally a DS3 line is installed as a major networking channel for large corporations or universities with high volume network traffic. This is an always-on, high-speed connection that provides a dedicated, stable and reliable link to the Internet, and can support up to 500 or more computer users." I still can't help wondering who he really is ............ and what he actually does. Does anyone reading here know - or care? Surely someone 'out there' must be curious too! -- Quote

Guest Peter Foldes Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Re: Should we be suspicious? David First of all do not use these forums are not for your personal vendetta arising from dementia. My email is listed as per the Properties and you can send these concerns there not posting it here I as I said it is unfortunate that your son passed away and unfortunately life goes on. Secondly when you reported me to the Police in England that I am a International Terrorist it was not appreciated by me and especially by my family for what we were put through. They (from England) advised me that I can take you to court for causing my family and myself grief and besides that they also found that you were a very sick individual and the best compromise that they came up with is to ignore you and they also did the same if you have not already noticed. You have been doing this since you started to post on the newsgroup going back a few years and I have been ignoring you and even being nice when answering you since the inception of this regrettable sickness of yourself There is more people than me using this computer (Server) . So I ask you again very nicely to stop your witch hunt and get a life. You are a sick individual and periodically you go off the deep end with this good guy\bad guy personality which I see is starting again. Yes I am using a Server and Yes I have a T3 connection along with a LAN when not using it also for which my business pays an incredible amount per month for rental of that service. I hope that answers your curiosity Dave Put an end to your witch-hunt about everybody and go and enjoy your life on your Longboat with your Family -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Whatever floats your boat, of course, but don't view Wikipedia as either a definitive source of complete and accurate information, or a mandatory social welfare project that we should all be engaging in. <span style="color:blue"> > AFAIK an Enterprise Server is rather different, as described in my > original post, thus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_server</span> While it pains me to point you to Wikipedia just after I've finished telling you that you shouldn't rely on it being accurate, might I point this out to you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Serve...erprise_Edition This is most likely what was being referred to as "Windows 2003 Enterprise Server". As has been pointed out, there are many of us who have computer and network setups that are non-traditional. I have a domain of ten computers used by three people, for instance. Some of those are Enterprise Servers in the sense that they run serious enterprise-level code, rather than small-business quality code. (The difference comes when you ask "how well does it perform with umpty thousand users/systems/locations/applications/etc?") Small software vendors selling into large institutions frequently have to mimic Enterprise-like scenarios in their small environments. Finally, I know a lot of the people in this group have said this to you far more rudely than I will, but here's my advice: you are clearly a beginner in this field. You are asking so many questions, and getting so many things wrong in your assumptions, that it's very clear that you are a beginner. As such, use a little humility, and make your postings more inquisitive than accusative. Ask questions - don't assert that others are wrong just because they disagree with you. Ask _why_ they disagree with you or with your understanding of the world. You don't know enough to be quoting Wikipedia back at people trying to prove that they're lying. All you do is make people irritated with you. And that's not helpful when you come to ask for help.

Hell, even developers will run server versions of an OS to test their code but that doesn't mean they are using the server OS as a server to anyone else. <span style="color:blue"> > Mr Foldes has also previously advised that he has a T3 Connection.</span> Often users will wrongly equate their company's property as their own property.

I'm very disappointed with your response, VanguardLH. I haven't told you the full background, nor will I here. I can tell you that this 'regular netizen', as you call him, has consistently lied when posting on these Microsoft groups and, indeed, on the Annexcafe newsgroups too. I fully appreciate that only I can be sure of that - others will have to make up their own minds. Two things are of concern to me. 1. Cybercrime 2. Terrorism One, of course, can feed the other. Mr Foldes, by his own admission, is a foreign national now living in Canada. 'He' and/or his companions answer every computing query under-the-sun at just about any time of the day or night. He appears to use highly sophisticated equipment too, yet no-one knows anything about him or his business - there's not even a web site to enlighten us. Strange, I think, in 2008. Perhaps the explanation/statement he has made 'here' in these groups today (much of it untrue, BTW) will put your mind at ease. There is obviously no need to worry about the safety of your friends and family ........ is there? Dave -- Quote

My home and my family was invaded by Canadian and US security forces on account of that and made it very uncomfortable for 3 hrs before it was realized that you made a false claim. I have no idea what others would have done to you but I think I was and still is civilized enough that I still hold my patience and my tongue with you.
