Machining Techniques and Videos
I recently came across this American website (http://www.jjjtrain.com/vms/) who's contributors all
bemoan the decline in engineering skills.
They've got some great little videos, tutorials and flash animations on there.
Definately worth a look if this sort of thing pops your cork.
Cheers,
Neil.

How did viewing web pages give you a virus?
What virus was it? Sophos didn't pick anything up on my machine or at work.
Confused,
Neil.

As soon as I hit 'library' all hell let loose
sophos reported the virus - also to my boss !
The trojan is Sandbox-A
2 hours on and I am still trying to remove it
this is all the worse because i have full domain admin rights

Yep it worked fine for me too - that wasn't the problem.....
It silently downloaded loads of poo onto my computer....
have a quick peak with regedit in HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run (IIRC)
and have a look for 'unusual' entries....

hmmm maybe I was just unlucky......
or it could be something to do with my 'rights' as an admin through our firewall.....
Still regardless... be careful out there ! - I could possibly loose my job over this one (hopefully not!)

Oo-er. Sorry to have caused so much trouble.
I'm administrator on this 2K machine and there's nothing on here. I've just downloaded the latest Sophos angz.exe and done a full
check on all disks etc: nothing. Nothing in the registry either.
Intercheck monitor would stop anything dodgy being run. I couldn't see any executables on the site (in IE or Mozilla).

Dave,
What was the upshot of it all? Did your website visit coincide with a breach of firewall?
I still can't see how a virus would get through unless it was one of these buffer-overflow jobbies in Windows Media Player.
Cheers,
Neil.
