Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I couldn't log into AOL this morning, and got a note to call AOL member services.

My account was used to send bulk spam. They said I could have a trojan on my computer and made some suggestions...but all are for windows peeps. I have a mac.

I changed my password, but I'm without a clue as to how to check my mac for a virus...because it's a mac. I've been using macs for lessee....15 years. Never an issue.

So, anyone have any recommendation for a virus scanner for a mac, or how to check to see if I'm infected? I don't even know where to start!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The fact of the matter is that there are no known viruses for Macintosh in the wild. It's far more likely that your AOL password was compromised.

However, convincing AOL of that could be difficult. It's not impossible that there's something nasty on your computer.

If you want to run a couple of programs and send the output to me, I can take a look at them and see if I can spot any anomalies:

  • Run /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor
  • Go to File...->Save... and save the output to a file
  • Exit Activity Monitor, and run /Applications/Utilities/Network Utilities
  • Click on the "Netstat" tab, check the "Display state of all current socket connections", and click on the "Netstat" button.
  • Go to Edit->Select All, and then copy and paste the output into an email message.
  • Send it along with the Activity Monitor file you created to me.

Thanks, Tom!

Yeah, I just changed my password and hope that makes it all better.

My system is running just fine, none of the weird buggy issues that would point to a nasty bug. But you know, better to check.

Really? Are you running 10.4? What happens when you do a spotlight search for "Activity Monitor"?

I couldn't see anything unusual, Allyson.
