    The official Government statement is that it is likely a "...weather balloon or some sort of photographic artifact caused by light reflection on the lens."

    I see you have some experience with that.

    ...a little freebie security drone from Bar-Code (Dystopia).

    So earlier in a gloomy lifeless car park, lit faintly by a single distant streetlight silhouetting the leaves of a tree, I approached the patrol car. Absent minded, oblivious, and possibly considering what I would be doing, had I not been at work at the time. I unlocked the door and lent in the vehicle, not quite getting inside as I had to free my arms of key chains, a can of soft drink, my phone and a note book.
    I then struggled for a moment to get the key into the ignition, likely caused by my awkward posture at the time. I finally get the key in, and turn the ignition half way triggering the beeping sound alerting me to fasten my seatbelt and close the door, when suddenly I hear the voice of a female behind me! She called my name and sounded happily surprised to see me.
    Caught off guard, I must have jumped back five feet, instinctively I half raised my fists. I thought, 'Oh my god, she's gonna' freak.' Coincidently, I called out "Jesus!" at the same time, again, instinctively.
    As I spun around, knowing the voice wasn't far away, it dawned on me... It wasn't Jesus, or some drop dead gorgeous blond, for that matter, It was no more then my minds interpretation of the squeak of the door as I pressed against it in my efforts to start the car.
    As the short lived adrenalin wore off, I laughed to myself. "Jumping at the sound of a door, great security work." As the beeping sound inside the car faded back in, I thought to myself, if someone saw this, they'd think I was insane.

    -Just another night as a lone young, inexperienced and apparently jumpy security officer. I'll try to stay focused next time, boss. :smirk:

    Dark and dreams go together like coffee and cupcakes :l)

It's lamely them saying: we're out of new ideas to continue to create new yearly releases in the hopes that you'll buy a copy each round, (so now you pay monthly and potentially much much more in the long run.) But fear not, you will be up to date with all the latest updates all year round. (Hope you can still afford to pay your monthly living expenses, so sorry.)

    Now that thats out of the way, Beautiful render there KK

    go GIMP :)

    Haha! Yeah I can see allot of people doing just that. Thankfully I have CS5 photoshop. Just means its probably the last PS version ill ever have unless they offer a one time purchase outright. A shame, cos photoshop is my world. I started with CS2 and never stopped using photoshop. CS2 went free before they announced their greed, I'm sure it won't be long before CS6 is totally absent from the market.

    I guess I'm just tired and grumpy lol. My anti virus software is running out soon, and the bill to renew that is huge! It's cheaper/more beneficial for me to buy a new computer and have it greatly discounted (if not free) with the package! Joice mayne is an awsome shop lol

    I've been using the Windows Defender software available free from Microsoft for several years now and it seems to work just fine.

    Of course, I rarely click links in emails, not even those from my bank (though I do click the ones from the monitor bots from these forums).

    I also use the Web of Trust plugin for Firefox and Chrome and tend to get to most websites by searching. If a site is even remotely sketchy I open it using a browser in Sandboxie (http://www.sandboxie.com/) to keep it isolated.

    From what I've seen of from testing from actual security companies there's not a lot of difference between Windows Defender, Norton, McAffee, AVG or Kaspersky. The free apps tend to do just as well as the paid version for most things and in many cases have less of an impact on system performance. I know Defender has a much smaller footprint than either Norton or McAffee.

    Windows Defenders is not anti-virus software, it is anti-spyware software. It is not desiged to detect virus, so you are at risk. They are different. You are correct that all the anti-virus software is about as effective...none of them can stop everything. Today one is better, tomorrow another one is better, but they all eventually catch up and do the same job. You just have to hope that the one your software misses doesn't actually visit your computer until the next day, when yours is updated and it now catches it.

    I don't know if it still holds true, but for many years you couldn't put two anti-virus software packages on one computer. It does bad things. But Windows Defender coexists peacefully with Norton anti-virus, or any other anti-virus software, because it is not anti-virus software.

    Running something like Ad-Aware, ccleaner, and SpyBot Search and Destroy on your computer now and then is a good thing, too. Windows defender doesn't catch everything in it's category either, I'm sure.

    Dana

    You are correct, that's what I get for typing in a rush before heading off to day 3 of a con on to little sleep and to many people.

    It's Microsoft Security Essentials that's the anti-virus now. Same thing holds true, it's free and it seems to work.

    As far as I know you still shouldn't have 2 AV programs running at the same time as they tend to step on each other and create havoc.

    I get Norton Security Suite for free from Comcast/Xfinity, so I have no complaints. Except that Identity Safe stopped working. I have to get back to them on that, but I've been distracted by other things.

    And that every time Firefox has an update it breaks the Norton toolbar or something, so I have to wait until they catch up.

    I told you so, and I didn't even have to look it up. Proper nutrition and exercise are all you need. And remember that rules are made...by people who think they know it all, but usually don't really. One thing is sure, cutting down on soda helps a lot. I used to drink Dr. Pepper all day, except when I had my V8 with lunch. I cut down to only one glass per day (admittedly, it is a pint glass - but I used to fill that up all day) and lost ten pounds within the last year, just that one thing. Two years ago I cut down my meals to two a day rather than three. I'm still fat, so I'm not starving...that's for sure. But I'm a lot better than I used to be. Three years ago I was 212 pounds. Today I hover between 179 and 183. That's about a 30 pound drop. If I start some kind of exercise routine I know I can blast it away...I just need to get moving. I would like to get where I was when I was working out (3 days LifeCycle and Nautilus circuit, one day 40 minutes on the LifeCycle on it's highest setting, for two random programs [2 x 20 minutes] non-stop). At that time I was 145. Of course, there was muscle mass...which weighs more than fat, so I won't look or feel quite the same. But I can be close, and a lot healthier than I am now. I do have some freeweights, but no bench and no room for one. I have to watch out for my knee, too.

    Does anyone here know if there is a way to get a password for an admin account on Windows 8? A friend whose partner passed away has an account on his computer, but she can't get to his stuff. There might be important documents, emails, photos. And since it's now hers, she needs to have admin access in order to install things.

    My best friend, who passed away last year, used a Linux boot disk to do this with my computer a couple of years ago, but that's Windows XP, and I don't know if that hole still exists in the newer versions.

    I don't know how much help I can be...she's 3,000 miles away.
