Brother Tim, I appreciate that tip. To tell the truth, I don't know what to think about spyware. I also don’t know why the mere mention of the word creates a link here. I’ll check it out. But I'd like to think that someone starts snooping around my site or files and they may end up getting saved. So I don't mind that. Viruses I fear, but I guess I trust Microsoft and Norton to protect me from them. I’d like to think there is a spiritual lesson in this. . I trust the word of God and the Holy Spirit, but a stranger’s voice, I do not know. Some of my friends do not understand why I refuse to open e-mail attachments, but I do try to be careful. Is Comet a welcome partner? I don’t know. I thought I would need the light to show folks around the site. But I wonder, do you see the candle? I understood that only those who are also using Comet could see it. Is that correct? It’s like a virus, you say. I thought the essential characteristic of a virus was that it came to kill and to destroy. How like the fact that I visit many different churches with my programs. Some of my brethren tell me I’ll be contaminated. But I am enriched by what I see and what I give, I think. Anyway, rest assured that I will think about it and be careful. If you had told me of some evil spiritual influence entering my life I would have listened too and watched it. It’s all a part of sanctification. And speaking of that web site, it is meant to be helpful but it is a symbol for me too. In a way, it represents my life. You would not believe how much better it is now than when it was launched 10,000 man hours ago. And I expect it will continue to improve. I hope I can become like it, a little more user friendly. As for the forum, I have less control. I hope the aimoo folks will make some changes. But is it not encouraging, Tim, to think that we can, slowly though it be, become more and more like Jesus? I press toward the mark. |

Greetings Aixen7z4! I just became more aware of the effects of spyware when I switched to a broad band modem. I was doing some cleaning up of my computer and found literally dozens of spyware programs using up system resources. They use up ram, they slow down your start up, they can switch your home page, and they can send off information about your browsing and other personal information to third parties. This is why I said that they were basically viruses. Now, I carefully watch out for them! :-) By the way, you are correct not to open attachements unless you are expecting them. They are very dangerous. Our church secretary began having problems with the church's office computer a while back. I came in to look at it, and after a day or two of working on it, I discoved several viruses. I sent them to the Norton web site to do the online scan. They literally found hundreds of infected files. To check the accuracy of the scan, I ran it on mine. I had zero infected files. The problem was that she was opening up all of the these e-mail attachments and getting infected at an alarming rate. Have a great Thanksgiving! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
