Thread Hi-Jack - another Windoze question
« on: November 05, 2007, 05:38:08 PM »
I returned to my home on Sunday evening to find that my Windoze XP Media Edition has been compromised as my Outlook Express InBox had over 200 emails from addresses that I have never seen before with attachments.  Mostly from "Mailer Daemons" returning emails that I have never sent.  I have changed the passwords for my email accounts, changed the password for my Windoze Login, and run a full scan for viruses and spamware.  I am wondering what else I should do before I backup my hard drive and perform a clean re-install.

God I hate Windows.  I want to learn how to install MacOS on my Dell and use parallels to run the couple of programs that are Windows only that I need, plus WinUAE and AmiKit of course.  (please don't suggest EUAE unless you have personally been using it for a long time and have a full proof install utility and can show me that it is just as fast and easy to use as WinUAE/AmigaForever/AmiKit)
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
