A Christmas BUG Story.......

Earlier on today, I was writing a little piece about Christmas on...    http://gourmandisedemrlemarquis.blogspot.com/ 
and I was using, as usual "Google Images" for my illustrations, when I fell upon a "Christmas bug story". I'd like to tell you about it...!
Looking for some ideas about World wide Christmas, I clicked on a thing, and it opened up - like normal....then all hell broke loose!
I made a quick "screenshot" of it...here you are:


Something I'd never heard of opened up....scanned (far too quickly) all of my computer and then told me it had found "XXXXX" viruses...!
You can imagine that I wasn't too pleased! I thought about it, and then I downloaded, BUT DIDN'T INSTALL, the logicial they suggested to clean up the problem.
See there - my own Anti-virus suddenly started up and told me that it had found a "Trojan Horse" type virus.  
Guess where.......yep - in the little logicial I had just downloaded - to solve the other problems! 

Well - this was intriguing, and I went back to the Google Image link, clicked on a few of them, with no problem. Then I went back to the one which had caused the problem....and - imagine, it did it AGAIN.....!
I just "got outa there......."
Then I ran my Anti virus, which - by the way - is the best I've ever had, and it's FREE - called "AVG Free" (Google it) and put the thing into "quarantine! 
Later on, I DESTROYED it - so "go figger".....!
Now, the question you're asking is why am I telling you about this......?
Well - I'm telling you so that you know that not everything out there that's wishing you a "Happy Christmas" REALLY means it......
I do....!
It also shows you that spending a lot of money on anything doesn't mean you've got something good! My AVG 2011 programme was a problem at the beginning, but works fine now, and - as you can see from this little "Christmas BUG Carol" works better than many other expensive AV programmes.
You can use ALL the links given on ALL of my sites - I take care that they don't have things in there to spoil your Christmas - it's my job!

So........

Be sure - be certain - get yourselves a new Anti virus programme that works and....is FREE!
A sort of Christmas present that appeals to me!

Here's the link to download it......

When London was a village (2)

One of London's 'Commons' Carrying on with my little series about London, a City but also very much a collection of villages which I enjoyed living in, working in, getting married in, and finally "'leavin'", I just wanted to touch on those places which London has so many of......'The Commons' - rather akin to Public Parks, but immense in size and in every 'village'.... A bit of their history is here: http://www.graftingardeners.co.uk/history-londons-commons/ and some are used by the well known  London Buses. Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...
