Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas
My son is home from law school, which is terrific. He brought his laptop, which apparently has a good, or a series of good, malware programs.
The combo has it so his IE won’t go to windows update, other addresses get hijacked in the browser, and it seems to prevent Spybot Search and Destroy from launching. Likewise Adaware.
I tried running Spybot from a copy on USB, no luck. The antivirus cannot find it, let alone fix it.
Ideas?
From the Telegraph.co.uk:
Doctors have reported the first ever case of someone using the internet while asleep, after a sleeping woman sent emails to people asking them over for drinks and caviar.
The 44-year-old woman, whose case is reported by researchers from the University of Toledo in the latest edition of medical journal Sleep Medicine, had gone to bed at around 10pm, but got up two hours later and walked to the next room.
She then turned on the computer, connected to the internet, and logged on by typing her username and password to her email account. She then composed and sent three emails.
Really, how do these cases wind up in doctors’ offices? I have experience with med-induced sleep driving, but that’s a different tale…
