Thanks for the nice comments about the wedding pictures. Actually, Toni, I think I look like an overgrown, constipated penguin. I am back on Weight Watchers for good!!!!

Dale/Yvonne, Zander is a doll!  Ronney, you've got a great looking family.  I must say the proud papa looks very handsome in black!  Dennis, thanks for the heads up on Martha Speaks.  I was beginning to be concerned since we hadn't heard from her.  I left her a message on the '63 site!  I've just received notice that my grandson has tournament play (fall baseball) on November 1 and 2 so there's a good chance Bruce and I won't be at the get-together on Nov. 1.   We'll know more about the timing when we get that schedule next week.  If we're not there in body, we will be there in spirit

I hope everybody is well and headed for the right target today, wouldn't want you to be off course.

Doc- in the year 2176 the 6th generation of Doc's will have something to look at with pride. As I look at my G-dad's G-dad and two brothers in 1840 Rangers under President Lamar. Thomas Capps born 1777 (Sons of the Republic of Texas Trivia) was the Rangers old man

Buddy, thanks for the link to oak Cliff. I'll never forget Playing the Beachboys show when we came out on stage and there you were on the front row.

Toni RJ if you go to the "63" Guestbook on Monday October 20,2008 @11:39 Martha explains what happened to her. Hope I didn't steal your thunder SNL

SNL, have you heard from Martha Speaks??  Bruce, Karen and I were at Northpark last Saturday morning for the Komen Race for the Cure but we never did find her.  Since there was so much traffic in the years past, we decided to take the DART rail which wasn't bad at all.  There were a lot of people opting for the same mode or transportation.

yes, RW, it is a wonderful day in the neighborhood!  City Hall in downtown Garland was all-abuzz with early voters this morning.  I was in and out with in  25 minutes.  On my way to work, the sun was shining brightly and it was raining at the same time! Thank heaven for early voting!

Rcvd this at work today - serious stuff, FYI - y’all be careful out there!   

New spyware system mimics Windows Security Center

Fri Oct 17, 2008 5:22PM EDT

What's wrong with the screenshot (inside the CA link below)? Ignoring those red boxes added for emphasis, it looks identical to the Windows Security Center... only it's not. In fact it's a spyware hoax designed to mimic the Security Center almost identically, not to mention trick you into purchasing WinDefender 2008 software, a phony security app which will clear up only the phony security alerts its malware component creates.

WinDefender is just the latest in a series of malware attacks designed to look like legitimate Windows components. But people have finally started to wise up to those smallish "alert" pop-ups, so malware creators are upping the ante with full-blown knockoffs of real security apps. Computer Associates has the details.

In addition to the fake Security Center, WinDefender nags you further by blocking web pages from opening (blaming the blockage on "adware/spyware on your PC"). It adds a yellow drop-down box to Internet Explorer like you get when you try to download something from the web, again with text urging you to install WinDefender 2008 in order to unblock the sites. Just $40 of extortion money makes it all go away...

Most anti-malware software ought to be able to scrub WinDefender 2008 off your machine, but the more important lesson is that you pay close attention to the interface of anything security-related on your PC to ensure that you aren't being scammed while you're actually trying to address any security problems. Anything you see in Windows that recommends a specific program to solve any sort of problem should immediately be considered suspect.
