Didn't notice until you mentioned it, Vic. But I just checked, and the regional settings control panel applet does control that date...

I scanned with that update yesterday and it apparently found a "Trojan" BackDoor.Buxtehude in two large exe files related to Homestead.com Offline Webpage Designer, which I don't use anymore. Seemed strange, when both NAV and HouseCall (bang up-to-date) found the files clean and the previous AVG dats were happy with it!

I think it's a false positive (or my own AVG installation is corrupt) but thought I'd post in case any other Homestead users were given a fright!. The profile doesn't fit with the descriptions from Sophos etc so I'm expecting it to be a false alarm. Grisoft have requested the file, which I zipped up and sent to them today. Will post back with any info, when I get it.

Early this A.M. I had some Folgers in my cup

and an update for my AVG.

Then went to work at a High Rate of Speed.
(too much sugar in my Folgers)



:p

Am in correspondence with Grisoft re Buxtehude and that situation seems confused at the moment.

But I have since learned How to heal viruses in DOS using AVG? (http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_faq.php?action=1#22), which I hadn't been aware of before.
