    3. The only thing I can tell you about accessing your account is to remember that passwords are caSesensiTive, casensensitive is different from caSesensiTive. My serious question is why do you still use a computer that has a botnet on it.? I get the fact that you might not want to lose whatever is on your computer, but if it does have a botnet on it you could be doing major damage to someone elses computer. You need to blow it and start all over again. Not a fun proposition I agree but sometimes it is necessary. If your not comfortable doing it yourself have someone else do it for you [ not a cheap proposition ]. My first step would be to boot the computer from a live CD/DVD of Linux. Run the hard drive partitioning software and delete any, and all, partitions on the hard drive, format it and reinstall the operating system of your choice. That will remove just about anything that might be on your computer. Another thing is to remove your old hard drive and install a new one then install an operating system. Terrabyte hard drives are fairly cheap these days. We generally have a new one in a box in case we need one. Online stores, like Amazon and Newegg, usually have some at good prices. The important thing is you need to do something to get rid of that botnet before it does damage to someone else. On 10/30/2015 08:14 AM, Ronald Mesnard via wrote: > My account is redmurdock.

I have access to a secure computer right now and there are links that are wrong and text I would like to improve. I would appreciate allowing me to access that account with the old password. I can't trust that this account is secure since I need to use it on an unsecure (spied on) computer. How can I be sure? I am locked into a specific modem/router by my ISP. The firmware that is supposed to be updatable is not. My conclusion the firmware was updated by a hacker smart enough make updatable firmware readonly. The firmware provides a man-in-the-middle situation. > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution.
