Pelosi Lies ... Now the US Attorney’s are Lying.

What Virus ? Details forthcoming ? ? or just a general “Cheney like” Accusation ?

[Islander7]

The truth is a virus?

To far left democrats it is. The truth vs their version = pelosification.

But would it be OK for them to log onto Barney Frank’s D-Mass website? No viruses there, eh?

Oh, there's a virus, but it's incurable.

Drudge has been doing an absolutely great job showing Obama for what he is. It’s probably the only place where most people see the truth about what’s going on in the world, since a lot of people get their news there who are not specifically looking for a conservative web site. So he reaches people who don’t listen to Rush or visit FR.

IMHO, he hasn’t been this good since Monicagate. I can well believe that he is annoying the hell out of Obama and his minions.

"when the IT guy looks at your screen, turns around, and asks, “Is there anything important on your hard drive?”"

I'd always make the IT guy put in a new HD if I even let him/them near my computer. Their first response is always to reformat the drive. Useless when it comes to "saving" your work PC.

The government tells who you are allowed to access online, Catholics being arrested at Notre Dame, the Fed firing CEO’s...where will the line be drawn until critical mass of us stop it! We are getting closer to China everyday.

Actually, I believe it. My husband says whenever I’ve been on the computer—and I mostly read Drudge and FR—that he has to clean off all the “junk.” Mostly I freep at work and here, we have continual protection against invaders.

I don’t need Drudge Report I have Free Republic.

Horse manure. If they don’t want them on there, they can just proxy it out. No sweat, all of two minutes to do.

Same here. Drudge's site auto refreshes and that is when you can pick up spy-ware. My Avast gave me a pop up the other day saying it had detected a Trojan type that was in the process of downloading. Avast stopped it but I had to reset the alert before the pop up could clear the screen. I always go to Drudge and the fact spy-ware or ad-ware or even a Trojan is a possibility, I would still go to Drudge for important news updates.

You said — The government tells who you are allowed to access online

Well, that’s a pretty well-established and standard practice for all employers, whether you’re talking about government or private industry.

In fact, you’ll have FReepers here who will jump all over you, if you said you were entitled to use your employer’s computers to access whatever you wanted... :-)

Apparently a lot of other people, including FReepers, are having problems with the Drudge website, from the comments here...

[Star Traveler]

You said — I’ve never had any problem with Drudge.

Neither have I, but then again..., I have a Macintosh, so I don’t have to worry about 100,000 viruses... and trojans and so on... LOL...

[Star Traveler]

Exactly! ... LOL...

It’s getting so that ‘code’ introduced as ‘advertisement content’ is out-of-control. It can hog 50 to 100 megabytes of memory and who knows what can be going on invisibly with the user’s consent.

Java-script and Java itself is getting all powerful and resource hogs.

There has to be software coming out that can throttle down this crud.
