Warning, virus zeus, part 2
It has happened again within only a few days of the first time.
I was downloading from " free great pictures " when this window opened again warning me of a virus. Please read my previous post " A shock with a happy ending "
Again I had to take my computer to the shop to get rid of it.
I went back to free great pictures but was told I could not download as I had my ad blocker activated. I was told in the computer shop that the virus comes through the adds on the page of this company. I send them an email explaining the situation.
Wishing you all a virus free weekend.
Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske

I knew the bad feeling when the virus strikes our system and devices. I had few times and really annoying. All those happened when we are off guarded in term of the system back up.
3 times they have wiped my stuff completely but more often than not when I am rebuilding all the stuff, the blessing comes out of the disguise with new ideas and opportunity. But I can tell you the real minuses is the time-consuming period of the rebuild and collect all the sources all over again. In recent time, my external drive path has also been hidden as I just can't remember the lost path link.
Wishing you a virus-free year of 2018 and if you be able to observe about this stuff, search about Kali Linux stuff, an ethical hacking option and knowledge to help secure your system security breach and find the culprit back.
Good afternoon Afqm,
It is already a long time ago this incident with that virus, I am happy it did not come back.
Free great Pictures never answered my email.
Thank you for the tip, I will look into Kali Linux.
Wishing you all the best, Taetske
I feel for you Taetske with multiple virus issues. That's just not fair. One scary issue is more enough. A second one is positively dreadful.
I'm pleased you have a good and helpful computer shop, but services such as those do not come cheep
It seems awful that anyone or any business would offer something free and then infect it with virus. If that is so, those people need to beware as what we give comes back in return. They might get a severe shock one of these days.
I hope that is the end of your virus issues, as least for a long time.
Wishing you many happy trouble free times ahead, Taetske :)

Thank you, Valerie, it is important we are aware of this. The boys in the computer shop are cheap, only 5 Euros, like 5$ so that is nothing. The company Free Great Pictures seems to be a good one. I sent them an email but am told it could not be delivered, that is strange as I got these contact details from their website.
Have a good day, Taetske
Good Morning Eric,
Sorry, I do not fully understand your comment.
By the way, what is your nationality, French or Belgium perhaps?
Have a nice weekend, Taetske
I don't know why, but I placed my comment for another post in your post. Very sorry about that.
I've to check, maybe my answer to you landed on somebody else Post.
I just was thinking (doesn't happen to often! :) ), maybe the reason why the site, where you get your pictures, is free, is that by giving out free pictures they can easily place a virus onto their clients computers. It might be far fetched and hopefully I might be wrong, but who knows?
I'm from Switzerland. Have a nice weekend Taeske
Hello Eric,
The first time I was away from home, I was 15 1/2, was in an Internat in Switzerland. There I met my oldest girlfriend Marie from Sweden, we shared a room for 3 months and had a lot of fun.
I personally liked Free great Pictures but I will now switch to Pixabay.
All the best, Taetske
Where do you get yours? I go here https://www.pexels.com/ and haven't had any issues. I hope it's not the same place
On Google I put : free great pictures, that is the name of the company.
Have a nice weekend, Taetske
Maybe you should get your images from another source. Dealing with viruses isn't a fun game! Glad you could get back to business within a reasonable amount of time. :) Cheers!
I personally find it a shame if I cannot use free great pictures anymore because it is too risky. I have some other sources but liked this one the best.
All the best, Taetske
Well, it sounds like you have a reliable repair person...at least they know how to fix it. Makes you wonder...is anything really Free! Hahaha.....Debbie
Good evening Debbie, I just wonder what that company will answer me. I sent you an email today, hope you saw it.
Have a nice weekend, Taetske

Good afternoon Jenna,
Sorry, I got mixed up. Good that you only have a positive experience, the same as I have with Pixabay.
Greetings from 30C south, Taetske
I already bookmarked Pixabay, Taetske!
A very good impression of the website. Thank you!
How are you doing??
Did you write anything about the PaidaLajin Self-Healing Method?
I will soon write about my experience with this method. My husband built the bench for me and we started last night. good results already!!!
When you have something to it, I would comment. Also, comment on Linda's and link our website little more together. :-)
Sending much love and a fresh breeze from Hawaii!
Aloha, Jenna
Good Morning Jenna,
No, I do not do Pajdalajin and I do not write about it. I have read Linda's experience with it.
I sent her my last 2 posts, one on insects and the other on our trip of last Friday, she will put it on FB.
Still thinking about FB, might try again with Michaels phone number.
Have a great weekend, Taetske
Ok. Thank you, Taetske. I will read and comment on something else.
You could also try this: textnow.com It is an internet phone. Easy sign-up, no fees. Free phone.
Not sure though if it works from Spain. Maybe Mike's cell phone is a faster solution.
A wonderful weekend for you too!!
Aloha, Jenna
Good afternoon Jenna,
I will look into this, as I said I have not given up on FB yet.
