Shake Your Fist at Mozilla

[aggienaut]

   Almost immediately after getting my computer running again two months or so ago, mozilla started giving me really annoying error messeges. Just every time it loaded a new page or did anything an error messege would come up that I had to press enter or hit okay to get rid of. Now this was something that I could live with for say... two months, but altogether it was a very annoying state of affairs. Finally today I resolved to reinstall mozilla.

   Now reinstalling mozilla of course involved resetting my computer, and when my computer came back from being reset... trillian (what I use for instant messeging) had been deleted. I'm like thats weird. I try to play some music.. most of my music has been deleted. 72% of it in fact (111 songs). Various other random things have been deleted as well I think.

   Frankly I'm not that traumatized.. I mean just four months ago I lost over 1,200 mp3s when my computer crashed, and in general I no longer have any expectency for computers not to crash.


Anyway, its about time for the
Picture of the Day

You probably have some kind of virus. Something is seriously wrong if files disappear.

Mozilla also goes berserk if you run out of disk space, making warning messages and so forth. But it won't delete your files.

You can make a real copyright symbol by enterying "©" — it looks like this: ©

Most file-sharing programs are spy-ware and pipelines for worms, virueses, and trojans. That's probably your problem. Install latest Norton. UC Berkeley gives it to students here for free; Davis might do something similar.
