Re: Always a pleasure visiting the site

I joined this site on the 20th of June 2001. It is the oldest place I still go an a daily basis it has been so informative. DSL Reports has been a source of great entertainment when the IT type where I work start throwing their arm up in alarm when a virus is on the loose. They come to me to warn me of this holocaust and I tell them where have you been DSL Reports discussed this 3 months ago. We did get hit with a virus one time and they where running around like chickens with their heads cut off. They finally made it onto the Medical ward I worked on at the time and everything was running smoothly no problems, they just couldn't believe it. I informed them we could not wait so I scanned all of the PC's with HouseCall from Trend Micro cleaned up everything several hours before they got there. I learned about PC-cillian as it was called back then on DR's security forum and it's abilities where confirmed by a real IT person I knew at a major high tech company in the Longmont, Colorado area. It has been fun.

A couple of years ago I decided to purchase a premium member ship only to be informed that I would not gain anything because I had been around so long I already had grandfathered in the extras I would have received with the premium membership.
