Been a while…
It’s been a while since I posted anything on the ol’ site.
I was never much of a blogger anyways but posts have been few and far between lately.
At any rate — we are still here…

Death of a Cable Modem
We are back online after a brief, unplanned hiatus.
North Texas has seen it’s share of spring thunderstorms this year (as usual). The one that hit us early Tuesday morning managed to take out our cable modem.
Time Warner came by yesterday and replaced our cooked little critter and we are back up and running.

Facebook…
A little FYI for everyone — you can find both Laura and myself on Facebook. Yes, we have taken the dive.
Fear not about little KnLC.net, it will still be here for all your family photo and silly blogging needs. FB is simply too good at what it provides for us to ignore any longer.

Malware and Scareware…
My favorite malware (ugh!) is back with a new name and a new game to get itself into your system. Yes, Antivrus XP is back — with a new name and a few new tricks. It’s now calling itself Anti-Virus-1 or AV-1. Be on the lookout for this one.
Go here for the whole story.
My advice — if you did not specifically request an application be installed — DON’T! Stop blindly clicking ‘OK’ people.
Anyways, if you find yourself infected with this little jewel – trust me, you’ll know it when you’ve got it – get yourself a copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and run it. So far it is the only app that I have found that will consistently clean this little bugger.

PeerGuardian Tip
If you are a bittorrent (BT from here on) user you should probably be using some sort of protection software specifically for BT use. The jury’s out on whether these actually help or not but hey, can’t hurt right?

DTV switchover delay looming
The senate voted unanimously to delay the impending switchover to DTV on Monday. Congress is expected to follow suit.
This is a bad idea folks. Here’s why.
All that advertising that’s been hammering away at us to get ready for the switch is now working against itself. Folks that had done nothing but needed to will now hit the original (Feb) deadline and their equipment will still work. They now think they are good to go. Now, here comes the new and improved June 12 deadline. Think they’re confused now? Wait till this summer!
My opinion: the people that weren’t ready for Feb will not be ready for June either. This is just delaying the inevitable FUBAR to come.
Let’s just do this thing and get it over with already! Maybe then the TV companies will allocate some more bandwidth to their existing HDTV offerings and our signals will improve.
