No, at least not with my sister. She's a PhD.

happy camper!
It does until Conficker is upgraded to let those pages through.
Another option for OpenDNS users: just go to your OpenDNS home page. It will
tell you whether or not they have received any suspicious queries
Sister #1 gave me holy hell last year (or maybe the year before)

I still don't know what she wanted to install but I'm guessing it

Sadly that is how many politicians are voted into office and stay there.

We elected a president who wouldn't pass your test so
Are you referring to Obama, who believes there are 57 states, not
including Hawaii and Alaska?

And why did we twice elect such a President (or why did he get almost 50%
of the vote, if you assume that he didn't really win the first time)? :)

Won't hurt to go to grc.com and run a shields up scan either.
Anything other than green on an all ports scan should be
cause for concern.
On top of that, you should use Secunia's Personal Software Inspector. Since
many of the security problems today are also from 3rd party apps (I'm

That is very clever. Conficker is known to block access to certain help
sites and this is an easy way to see if you are being blocked.

That is the full service
Use of OpenDNS is also recommended as a Conficker preventive.
http://www.opendns.com/
Nameservers are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
If you register/open an account [free] they analyze your traffic and will
report traffic that gives evidence that you may be infected with Conficker.

I try to run antivirus, adware, and a proactive run of spinrite if I have

That's excellent. What a very simple methodology to show possible
infection.

But they are being noticed. Some very smart people in the industry are

Just saw something on local news, with advice like this. Even if computer

lots of computers? This was suggested on the local news show as a potential
