Sorry, I don't have much this week. Most of my time was occupied with computer virus cleaning. It was so bad, my first thought was format and re-install but when I asked the owners if they backed up their file, the reply was- of course, we save everything in "My Documents".

 

Six different antivirus programs, and more than a dozen scans later, I finally got it cleaned- I think! Thank goodness for bootable antivirus disks that can scan before the main OS starts. Microsoft Security Essentials may not be the best antivirus choice for everyone.

 

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned a YouTube channel for Brian Havens. He has some very informative turning videos. The latest one really explains the why and how of cutting curves- both inside and outside surfaces. The video is about 20 minutes.

 

 

As I am typing, I got the go-a-head to start the humidor. Cabriole legs are approved!

 

 

Safe Turning!

Thanks for the post Lew, always appreciated!

Thanks Lew, I hate viruses!!

Kapersky offers a free bootable disk recovery item. I have used it on a few systems and it seems to work pretty well. Just a little FYI.

Thanks, Wayne! This was one of those computers that, if it were a horse, they would have shot it to put it out of its' misery. I used Windows Defender, trend micro, sophos, Kaspersky,Comodo, Avira and AVG. Each one discovered something the others didn't. Eventually after running the boot versions and the "regular" versions (only one at a time) I think I got it cleaned. Three  days and no call backs- fingers crossed.

LOL thats how my first computer was when I finally could afford an antivirus program for it, I think it had over 1000 infected files lol. This was back when a 486 was top line. Hope you did get it solved.
