I just read this government info on spyware http://hubpages.com/hub/Spyware_tips
is it very accurate?

nevermind I figured it out. It created a netstat.exe file under C:\ so instead of running the global netstat, it was trying to run the one under the root and of course that one wasn’t a real program but the boo boo I made. If anyone makes that mistake, don’t worry it’s not as bad as the warning beep makes it sound.

I made a boo boo. I accidentally wrote the following:
C:\>>netstat -b > netstat.exe

don’t ask me why I did that. I wasn’t paying attention. I was listening to one thing and following the other. Now when I try to run netstat from C: it doesn’t work it says C:\netstat.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Anyone?? Help?? I just want to understand what I did.

Hi PC MECH,

Due to our slow internet link, I cannot play the video via web.

Is it possible to download the video file to my laptop and play it locally on it??

Thanks,
Chuba
