The following list includes the words that the DHS is scanning all emails, etc. for in the interest of keeping us safe. Many are understandable, but some could be nothing but political phishing! Look it over and see what you think... Given the nature and content of many of the communications that occur on this site, one would have to think that we keep DHS working overtime. So, in our own particular way, I suppose we are helping the economy.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to use all of these words and phrases in a sentence, in the order listed.

I guess they'll be knocking on my door now!
So, if you don't hear from me for an extended period
of time, please send money, guns, and lawyers!
Permalink Reply by Nancy on Thanks for the list. . .I'll be sure to use them regularly. . .who are they, the "thought police"???
Some of these words have obvious connotations. . .but snow, ice, relief (how do they know I'm not talking about migraine meds???), help (really???), gas (maybe we aren't talking about the kind you put in your auto but the type you expel???). . .this is just absurd. . .they don't have anything better to do. . .and one more thing, have you ever noticed on your email, along the margins from time to time, topics you have written about in the past show up in an ad--very freaky!
Hey DHS/Big Sis. . .up your nose with a rubber hose!!!

Permalink Reply by Jeff Waller on What the hell is a "Rootkit" anyway?
Conficker must be some sort of hors d’oeuvre...
Confickers, anyone?
Permalink Reply by Scot Sheely on Rootkit is a type of malware (spyware) and Confickers is one of the more nastier computer viruses from recent years.
Sony Corporation had one of the first known rootkits included in their audio CD's from many popular music artists in the 2002 / 2003 time frame that would automatically trash your computer if you tried playing / copying the music into an .MP3 format when the CD was inserted into your computer system. This process was automatic and 'silent' running in the background and required no user interaction whatsoever.
The end result was that the federal government sued Sony and required them to provide anyone who applied a cash refund, which amounted to around $3.00 as I recall. I did fill out a form online and sure enough, several months later, they sent me a check for three bucks. I was honest about it though, I had actually been affected by this new form of malware, when all I had tried to do was listen to a CD using my laptop's CD-ROM drive. It actually caused my entire hard drive to be filled with other viruses and spyware, even though I was using the very best and latest corporate anti-virus solution from Symantec at that time (the company who also makes the consumer version called 'Norton's').
Permalink Reply by Thomas Angle on In simple terms a rootkit is a virus that gains admin access to your PC. Root is the "god" account on a UNIX machine. If you have root access you can do whatever you want.
Permalink Reply by Jeff Waller on So, how do you know what this is?
How are you with water and boards, together as with an action verb?
Permalink Reply by Thomas Angle on You should keep you anti-virus, spyware and malware up to date. You should scan you PC every day for infections. I personally use AVG, Super Anti Spyware and Malwarebytes.
Permalink Reply by S.Terry Carter on Thomas, AVG is good but Microsoft Security Essentials,also free to Windows users, tested more secure,uses fewer resources and updates itself through Windows Updates. Both of the other stand alones are good,but you might want to add Super Spyware Terminator, Spybot Search and Destroy, Advanced System Care 5, and CCleaner ( to remove surfing tracts). All are free and stand alones, so do not use resources except when they are actually being used. All are highly rated by PCWorld and Cnet.
Permalink Reply by Jeff Waller on I think that one day we are going to be told that the virus
programmers all work for the anti-virus software companies.
Permalink Reply by Gerald Smith on Uh-oh. I'd better start using someone else's computer when they're away from their desk.Such as my boss!
Permalink Reply by S.Terry Carter on Naw ! Gerald. Just surf in 'anonymous mode' and run CCleaner at the end of your surfing session!
Permalink Reply by Joe Thompson on I am surprised that "tea party" isn't on this list.
