    The Experiment
    « on: July 15, 2005, 06:59:14 PM »
    It's Saturday morning here & I'm bored.
    I'm going to disable all my protection and surf the net for 30 minutes to see what I can catch.
    If I'm gone for a while you will know I caught it.  :D
    Wish me luck!

       :D  This will be fun! Maybe having to edit your registry, or restore a Windows file that a virus has deleted!  ;D

        It's 11.26am in Sydney Merlin.
        4 more minutes to go.
        I will then re-enable all protection & start with an online scan at Panda.
        They say an unprotected computer will only last 5 minutes on the net.  :o
        Anyway, I'm surfing warez places LOL!
        I'm about to check my email too.
        I'll keep updating my progress.

          You have been online for 30-40 minutes, and you still have not gotten a worm? Wow

              Use Mozilla Firefox and you will catch absolutely nothing - providing that you do not go on a rampant .exe downloading spree.
