I can't get in to tarotpassages. Is it just me or is the page down :( Love Maan

RedWood	24 Aug 2003
I can get into tarotpassages.

Hedera	24 Aug 2003
Hrmpf.... I can't get in either. :(

Astraea	24 Aug 2003
I'm not able to get in, either. I wonder if this is related to the computer viruses of recent days -- lots of sites have been down or having difficulties.

Kiama	25 Aug 2003
I can get in, though yesterday I could only get into the 'front page' of the site, and no further...

Astraea	25 Aug 2003
I can get in today and all the pages open, but they take awhile to load.

Tarotpassages is running just fine for me. But Ive had experience with both these viruses over the past few weeks. If you have any suspicion you may be infected it's a very good idea to run this free virus removal program to locate and get rid of virus in your computer and protect it in the future: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/tools.list.html the 2 we ran are "So big F" (first one on list) and "Blaster worm" (forth one on list) So big F infects E mail, or sends E mail to people using your e mail address or something like that, if you are recieving mailer daemons and don't know why this is the reason, you are infected! If you have Blaster Worm you will be unable to stay online, at least from what I've seen, but I've heard you can have it and not even know it. These virus removal programs will fix all affected files. Here are a few articles you can read about the viruses: http://www.msn.com/Blaster/msblaster.htm http://msnbc.com/news/951393.asp http://www.msnbc.com/news/955498.asp?cp1=1 If you know someone who has the virus and can't stay online you can copy baster worm virus removal and antivirus program to cd and run it on their computer.

Purplelady, that's very useful information and the links are much appreciated. I think that only Windows machines are affected, is that correct?

purplelady	25 Aug 2003
Yes, I believe it only affects windows- it hadn't occured to me there are other systems! Perhaps it will say somewhere on the sympatec site. I think the majority of computers are windows.

Astraea	25 Aug 2003
Thank you, Purplelady. I just now phoned the computer service center where I take my Mac, and they confirmed that only Windows-based machines are affected. What a mess this virus has caused!
