It's not a virus, and yes I have the name.rewebster said:I'm getting the 'feeling' that you may have forgotten the name of the virus:uhh:---
you may want to download AVG---it's free and it may clean you up -or one of those free ones that turbo recommends
Evo said:I must say that because of my trouble, Symantec gave me their professional installation package that normally sells for over $100 (on sale for $50 with upgrade) for free. The guy installed everything, cleaned up a lot of junk files and configured my firewall. It was awesome.

It's mine as soon as I buy her a new laptop.rewebster said:this is on your daughter's computer, though--isn't it? (or, is it 'yours' now?)
I don't want to invoke it's name.rewebster said:<rewebster again tries to pull the name out>
is the name of the 'trojan' something you don't want to tell us?
Evo said:I don't want to invoke it's name.
rewebster said:it's ok---those sites can be 'accidently' opened ---you just have to go in 'protected'
Moonbear said:Aren't the trojans what you're supposed to use for protection in those sites? :uhh:
That was before your time.binzing said:Well hell, you never mentioned it being hit by lightning!
I have more pharmaceuticals than the ER.lisab said:Evo, please - have a medical person take a look at it.
Is it just my faulty memory, or so these things always seem to happen to you on weekends...?
Cheery.survival past 48 hours is usually a sign that recovery will follow
Umm - a brown recluse bite is pretty serious. Most literature indicates medical attention is required ASAP. If one has all the symptoms mentioned, then one should see a doctor immediately.Evo said:I think I have a recluse spider bite on the back of my leg. Or some similarly venomous insect/archnid bite. It's developed a small ulcerated spot, hard, surrounded by red and hot to the touch. Very painful. Kept me up last night. I have a bag of ice strapped to my leg, left over from my last trip to the ER.
I've read up on recluse bites, based on the reaction at the bite site, it should heal up on it's own within 6 weeks.
The bite of the brown recluse spider causes the most severe form of arthropod-induced tissue necrosis. Its venom is made up of nine different proteins. (5) The primary factor responsible for tissue necrosis is sphingomyelinase. (6) This enzyme interacts with the membranes of erythrocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells. (7) Although sphingomyelinase D is toxic to many types of cell, significant tissue damage requires the participation of the host's own cells, particularly neutrophils and platelets. (8) Following envenomation, the initial injury is endothelial damage to the arterioles Arterioles, and these vessels become occluded with thrombi. made up of neutrophils and platelets. The neutrophils then degranulate and secrete prostaglandin metabolites that contribute to more endothelial damage, which leads to thrombosis, ischemia, and necrosis.
I believe this is a less severe bite. Also, the cleaning, drying, and neosporin seem to be keeping it under control. But did I mention how much it HURTS?Although most bites heal within 3 weeks without necrosis or scarring, approximately 20% develop necrotic ulcers that may take months to heal and often result in permanent scarring.
What is the treatment for a brown recluse spider bite?
Treatment consists of washing the wound and applying an antibiotic ointment.
Can't you go to an actual hospital/ER? If the urgent care (clinic?) place does not have competent staff, then one should not go there.Evo said:Now it's starting to look worse. Evo Child said a girl where she works got bitten by a recluse last month and they had to cut it open and drain it. Crud, I'm probably going to have to go to the urgent care place, but they are so incompetent.
It's a $20 co-pay at the urgent care and $125 at the ER.Astronuc said:Can't you go to an actual hospital/ER? If the urgent care (clinic?) place does not have competent staff, then one should not go there.
So you'll accept sub-standard care for the sake of $105? Misplaced priorities, Evo. Go, Please!Evo said:It's a $20 co-pay at the urgent care and $125 at the ER.
That's what I'm thinking. Everything I'm reading says they can't do anything more than what I'm doing, unless it's really serious, which it's not. I'm probably just over sensitive to the pain, it's really probably no worse than a cut from a dull razor, which, by the way, I just did in the shower. Yeah, it's about the same. :grumpy:Proton Soup said:what's a doc going to do? say, "yep, that looks like a bite. keep a band-aid on it and come back in a week for a follow-up." ?
The spider drank the wine, then attacked you in a drunken rage. Case solved.Evo said:A glass of wine would be nice, why is it I never have any?
People whine as a way to express their dissatisfaction or frustration with a situation. It is a form of communication that allows them to vent their emotions and seek validation from others.
To stop whining, try to identify the root cause of your dissatisfaction and address it directly. Also, practice gratitude and focus on the positive aspects of your life. It may also be helpful to communicate your needs and concerns in a calm and assertive manner instead of whining.
Whining can be a sign of immaturity, especially in children who have not yet developed effective communication skills. However, adults can also whine as a way to express their emotions, so it is not always a sign of immaturity.
Whining can be harmful if it becomes a habit and affects your relationships and overall well-being. It can also be detrimental to problem-solving and can prevent you from finding solutions to your concerns.
If someone in your life constantly whines, try to listen to their concerns and validate their feelings. However, also encourage them to find solutions to their problems instead of just complaining. If necessary, set boundaries and limit your exposure to their constant whining.
