I would buy the CD direct and in the US it only costs $0.99 so it save all
the hassle of downloading and burning and you always have it to reload.

Subject: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] freespire iso
If I had to guess, I'd almost say that you have an iso that's not freespire.
Do you have the link where you're downloading it from?
As for the virus question, what kind of system is this? Is it a business
network, or a home network? What is acting as your local server; (i.e. are
you hooked into a broadband router, or is there an actual computer running
the server?)
I'd have to know more about your setup. I didn't get the original email.
Some ISP's lock out email servers that don't belong to them. The workaround
is simply to change the ports, but usually they only block the outgoing SMTP
port, so it's probably not that. Still, you can check your account settings
in Outlook. Default incoming port for pop is 110. Default outgoing SMTP
port is 25. If Outlook lists anything else, then that would be your answer.
That is assuming you are using POP. Again, I need to know more about your
setup, to be of any help there.
As for the virus on the D: drive, I'm assuming it's a windows file system,
since you're calling it the D: drive. You could build a boot cd with bart's
PE and install McAfee's command line scanner. It takes some doing, but it
will allow you to access your files for a virus scan without logging into
windows itself. PC Magazine has an article on this. It can be done on CD
or a USB flash drive.

Once you install Bart, it tells you how to install various items. You can
install McAfee's command line win32 scanner (a separate download from
McAfee), and do a scan that way.
Of course, the easiest way to me would be to simply open up your case and
disconnect your D: drive from the system by temporarily removing the cables.
You can then low level format your C: drive (choose the quick option, not
full). Every hard drive vendor has a diagnostic utility on their web site
that allows you to do this. Just make sure you download the correct utility
from the correct vendor. If it's a western digital hard drive, go to
western digital's web site to download the utility. A low level format will
basically write 0's to the first and last million or so sectors. It should
erase the boot sector, and wipe out any infection on your C: drive. That
being said, I have my doubts that this is virus related. Windows viruses
don't typically effect linux, and vice versa. First thing's first. I'd
check your email port settings in outlook, and provide a basic rundown of
your setup. Don't divulge specifics for security reasons. I just need to
know if you're
running your own server (linux or windows), or if you're connected via a
router in a home network.
