Quiet Time

Hello:) We have been having a bit of a quiet time since dad left. Mum's been feeling pretty flat, so I've been making sure to give her lots of extra cuddles and loving. We've been cooking up a few ideas (Fui and I are key in mum's creative process!) and are hoping to put a couple of get things moving along over the next couple of weeks. Given how much I love to be a help, a roster of projects is very exciting for me!:) Fui and I both earned ourselves a new piece of bling! In conjunction with our name and number tag, we have a second smaller one that says "I Am Lost" on the back. Mum is hoping it will be an extra level of security if we ever run out of the house. She is paranoid.

We also wanted to warn people to be very careful with the security of their computers. We have an antivirus program and a firewall on our computer, but managed to get infected with what is called a 'misleading application'. A fake window for 'AntiVirus 2010' came up showing that we had lots of infections, and a bubble popped up from the lower right corner. The fake scan then asks you to buy a licence for the fake antivirus program. It also sits in your computer trying to download other files. One of the bits that was downloaded onto ours opens up new Explorer windows for obscene sites. It was tricky to get rid of, and took quite a while. We are now doing an overhaul of our Internet security. Mum thinks it initially got on the computer when she accidentally clicked on an add in a craft blog she reads.

If only the people who write these programs focused their energies in a positive way!

I hope you have a happy week:)
Love
