I love when mailservers take a crap. Everybody comes and yells at you.

Also, I love when people pick up a virus and say that they got it from a reputable site. I called BS on that one and he didn't want to call the webmaster and let them know their site has malware on it. Then we had 2 people in the office try to remove it by installing AVG over top of Symantec and then running Combofix. Now Windows Installer is broken. Yay.

Other than that, not much. Katie is gone for the weekend, so it's me and the kids.
Good luck! Hope you get it done!

Ouch.. multiple anti-spyware works ok. Multiple AntiVirus a BIG no no. We're investigating using Microsoft Forefront Protection. It uses something like 5 different scan engines.

Sounds good.
The "reputable" ones don't exist. They don't get enough traffic to pay the bills.

wow ... where is everyone tonight?

I've been trying to do some research on the car. I ordered a part for the fuel sending unit. It gets below 3/4 and then isn't even close to accurate. The fuel cap is really tight, so looking at what it takes to replace the filler neck. Looked at prices and about fell out of my chair. HOLY ****!! $300-$400 for a 2 1/2 ft tube of metal. I guess I'll either be doing eBay or junkyard.

I replaced the tank on an 98 escort I used to had to cut the rubber filler hose. Mistake, almost wasn't able to get a replacement, and it was pricey

The rubber part is fine. The top of the neck is rusted and the gas cap is getting harder and harder to get on and off. I may just take some sandpaper or dremmel to it and sand off some of the rust. I can find them online for about $60 or $75 from a junk yard. Even Rockauto was $400.
