The End of MWM

Greetings all,

Letting everyone know that after somewhere around 28 years, when our annual hosting expires on 08/24/2025, Millennium Weekend Ministries we will not be renewing. Lack of interest for the past many years makes it clear to Esther and me that it does not make any sense to continue to keep the site running.

Many thanks to the handful of folks that have stuck it out with us. Perhaps very soon we shall all meet when we hear the glorious voice of our Savior calling us home to the Father's house. Certainly any who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation, repenting with a "broken and contrite heart" (Ps 34:18 and 51:17) will find mercy and will indeed be caught up together to meet our Savior in the air.

What a glorious day that will be.

In Christ alone,
Andy

      Re: Computer problem question

      Googleing eror messages helps a lot,

      From:

      http://www.techsupportforum.com/micr...plication.html

      1. Opened the My Computer
      2. Right clicked the mouse on the drive having the infection.
      3. Selected "Explorer" from the pop-up menu.
      4. Went to the Menu bar and select Tools->Folder Option.
      5. Select the View tap. and did:
      a) selecting "Show hidden files and folders'
      b) unchecking "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"
      6. Click OK.
      7. I found the file named "autorun.inf" file in the root of each infected drive.
      8. And I deleted the file. And I selected the other infected drive and delete all the "autorun.inf" files one by one.
      9. Over the backup drive, I also deleted the "resycled" system folder as well. I think, this is the source of the infection. Or you could name it as the virus nest.
      10. I went to the Desktop and open the Recycle Bin and Executed Empty Recycle Bin. It's a very important step to prevent the infection coming back!
      10. Then, I rebooted the system.
      11. And everyone was backed to work. Problem was solved or virus was removed, whatever you name it.
      12 Of course, don't forget to change the View functions back over the "Folder Options" if they were not the original selections.

        sorry brother,

        http://www.precisesecurity.com/blogs...sycledbootcom/

        resycled/boot.com is a worm that propagates on local fixed and removable USB drives. resycled/boot.com may infect drives via autorun.inf file it created that runs a command each time the drive is accessed. Malicious files will be copied to a drives attached on infected computer.

        Aliases: Trojan Horse SHeur.CODS

        Risk Level: Low

        File Size: Varies

        Affected System: Windows

        Symptoms:
        1. Appears a message “resycled/boot.com is not a valid Win32 application”
        2. Presence of autorun.inf files on root of drive

            www.malwarebytes.org

            Best (and free, unless you want active file protection) anti-malware on the Internet, IMHO.
