Robert's flight to Melbourne

Thanks Roman.
But some issues have come up. After posting that last screen shot, my computer went wacko. My security says a virus.
Wonderful. No warning.
Last place was photobucket.
3 hrs later, and a heck of a lot of work, I can get back on the internet, but, no doubt, the damage is done.
Most everything is seems to be working ok, except for my security stuff. Win updates, cleaners, security scans, ect. Nada.
My machine is a good 4 1/2 years old now, maybe time for a big upgrade.
Might be able to finish the race. We will see what happens.
I have everything backed up, so that is not a concern. Time is.

Nice flights so far Robert!:applause:
(Running FS that long and placing pics on your clipboard, etc. may have eaten up your RAM memory. Sometimes a simple restart will clean up most of that.)
 
Robert,

WOW! that sux! Many moons ago I had something similar. It required a boot time virus scan to get rid of it. ( I believe it was Avast that provides one for free ) Once that bug is gone I needed to re enable all the virus scan services, although a reinstall of them would do it too.

UGGH! :disillusionment: Good luck to you. Hope you can still participate.
 
Thanks Fred and Roman.
Definite virus.
Have it partially contained and is dormant at the moment.
Even with 3 or 4 security programs running, it still got through.
FSX is still running fine, no problems there. Planning on resuming in a week or so.
It seems to have attacked the security stuff first. No cleaner, no win updates, unable to change any settings.
Maybe a good excuse for an upgrade.
 
Down safe at WSSL. Nice flight.

I'm glad to see you have sorted out your problems and arrives safe and well at the continent down-under.

Cheers,
Huub
 
The beer was good. Maybe too good.
We should be off as soon as we are released... that is as soon as we get the ship ready.
Planning for this weekend.
