OR, have Rob look at the code for your current profile layout and modify it to remove the "message me" link. To create FTV and your site, he must be an expert HTML coder. I bet he can modify the code that creates your profile layout.

The "message me" link in MySpace is propietary to MySpace. Rob wouldn't be able to change it. He might be able to hide it though. But I haven't seen any pages there that had that link hidden.

Happy turkey day, everyone. BTW, anybody know what svdhost.exe is? It keeps on trying to install itself on my computer but my computer keeps blocking it.

svdhost.exe - Dangerous
svdhost.exe
Svdhost.exe is W97M.Mupps.
W97M.Mupps is Trojan horse that opens a back door to a remote location on the compromised computer.

Looks like you need to install a good virus scanner on your laptop. I recommend AVG Anti-Virus Free. It's found at Grisoft.com and it's free of charge. They also have a more featured version that you can buy.

It is not only at times the anti-virus that doesn't succeed in chasing the difficult virus on the system Windows. Those will remain always.

If something has been installed on the laptop of Danielle it is probable that the system has not supported that drivers. And so the connection Web doesn't work. And it always appears: Error (X)!
I think that the installation must be removed. And to see if it returns to work well the System Windows.
There is otherwise the risk to renew the system Windows in complete way. And to make to also work well the connection Web.
At times when different drivers or programs it is installed, the system goes crazy.
It depends from that characteristics it is the Laptop (or PC), and from his installed hardware.

The only thing I think she could do to calm things down there, besides adding in the note that says she doesn't answer emails via MySpace anymore, is to do what other models have done from time to time, and that is to make her profile private so that only her friends can see the full page. Give it a month or so and things should then settle down for her (I'd hope), and then she could make her profile public again.

I moved geolarson's post and my reply post to General Discussions starting a new thread called Tech Talk. We got a bit off topic.

Okay...just did a scan on my computer last night...here's a new one Worm:Win32/Pushbot.gen.

Technology is just not my thing.

So you found it, now just remove/heal it with the same program. Or at least quarantine it. Assuming your antivirus program can do this. Although some worms may not be able to be deleted because that how they are. If your current program is unable to remove the worm, you may need to download a program designed for such a thing.

It's not you, it's the technology.

I'd like to compare a computer to a living car:
It's supposed to work without the need to check up the motor every time.
It has to get fuel, oil and water (updates).
It can be upgraded / trained to do new things (install new programs).
But it can also get the flu (viruses, trojans & co) if you drive through the wrong neighborhood or park next to an infected other car.
And there are gangs out there, that try to tag your car with their logo/virus.
