    I downloaded some mp3s. I clicked one to play it. I got a red and black looking ascii graphics, warning box.
    It said something like:
    "Failure to execute script..."
    Well, that was windows TRYING to take care of me, the user. But the fucking error/warning message COULD have been a bit more user friendly [see, an idiot's guide to understanding Microsoft's Poor Use Of English And Other Important Languages].
    I clicked on the fuckin' thing.
    I thought, Hmmm, could it be an mp3 is a script?
    And then I thought, "No, wait, um, no, um. Fuck."
    It was the last thing I did before leaving my home to pull three twelve hour TODs (yes, TODs Private Cop sort, Bile's be. Yep. No guns though, FUCK...).
    Anyways, I click where it says "cancel" [wtf DOES cancel mean????].
    I SHOULD have done the three finger salute and closed it ALL, but OH NO, I wanted to hear the fucking SONG I downloaded.
    I came home from yet another LONG TOD and checked my yahoo mail (YES, Yahoo, NOT Outlook, YAHOO) and I got a fucking SHITLOAD of "Returned to sender, user no longer blah blah..." "User doesn't exist, blah blah..." "Blocked, blah blah" "Security blah blah blah..."
    Somehow or other there is an evil script here, in this machine now, it is contacting the network while I am away and spamming god knows who and how many.
    I ain't happy.

    What the fuck am I trying to say?

    Be fuckin' careful, mp3 files can have scripts in them, which you already knew, right? Seems too, the file extension can be hard to see even, so you might not even KNOW you runnin' a script. Seems a firewall and an account with "TREND MICRO," antivirus solutions shit thingie ain't gonna protect ya either.
    [yes, I DO KNOW BETTER, so fuck off with the "You shoulda got a mac," Or, "You should get a REAL OS like [name an OS, or better yet, FUCK OFF!!!]"

    The P1 sitting next to me doing nothing?
    Time to get the tired old linux in it up and running again, so I can leech files... I ain't gonna stop downloading illegal shit, but I got to do it right...

    Fuck.
    I only get one day off each week now and I got to spend a BIG chunk of it doing a massive Windows Euthenasia effort and a fdisk and all that crap. Fuck

    Nevermind.

    @-exec-, rgreat or aike...

    Is there any way of running FHLauncher under Linux? I already tried to do so over a year ago, but all I could do was to launch WB... FHL couldn't run properly under Linux.

    If yes- please tell me... cause like biles and many others I have enough of MS crap :(

    Pisał, że odpalił WB a to daleko jeszcze do odpalenia FHL i WB jednocześnie... czytaj wątki zanim poradzisz.

    Gee Biles, what are you running Win95 or one of the other WinXX, what I call Windows Bata tests. XP Professional w/all the updates is the only one that works. Somehow he was a Billonaire before that, wish I could pull that off. If you have that ans some virus prog. that you update daily or weekly for the latest crap the little bastards put out{lot people dont} you should be fine. And just because you have a virus prog. dosent mean it will get ride of it. The jerks put some blocks to that so a lot you have to dig into your files and figure out how to get'm off your pooter. The big companys have around 50 millon dollars in rewards to catch the little freaks. On ocasion my system will get the tale tell signs of acting strange and I get in and quickly get it before it takes off and goes wild {guy cant even enjoy some porn these days}. Thats what I been doing and have no problems

    Lepper napisal:
    "
    [...]
    ..warbirds, FHL... and it works! I can log in and play. But 2D. "

    Dla mnie oznacza to, ze udalo mu sie uruchomic i WB i FHL jednoczesnie.
    Chyba, ze na zly watek patrze

    sorry for polish language :cheers:

    I tried Launcher with WineX 3.3 and now Cedega, it works well. My problem is that wb works not well enough. 2D only and some troubles with joystick.

    Update.
    Some guy suggested ad-aware, the free version. I got it, I used it, it seems to have found and kilt the script.

    Didja hear about that guy likes to call himself the "Spam King?" I don't remember the bastards name, all I know is he is a Yank somewhere where Yanks are. Anyway, someone found out where the son of a bitch lives and passed the guy's adress around and it wasn't long he started to get trucks filled with pizza fliers and free magazine subscriptions dropping tens of thousand of pounds of JUNK MAIL (snail mail - ads, brochures, etc) at his DORRSTEP. When he whined, the post office told him "THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. YOU MUST RECIEVE THIS STUFF. WE CANNOT STOP DELIVERING IT."
    I can hardly wait to read in the news that the guy has been murdered.

    I don't belive for a minute what "business" likes to claim, that "business saved the internet" all "business" did for the internet was set itself up IN BUSINESS.

    Eat the rich
