It's a long story, part of which you should know about.
First, I think I told you that right in the middle of trying to
revamp iCop, I got the chance to move to a different place here
on my little lake. I'd been waiting for this particular place
for over a year, so I couldn't say no. iCop was going to have
to wait.
Then, the trouble started. The movers were morons who took
twice as long as needed to move everything. As soon as I was
in, the dishwasher leaked and had to be replaced.
Then, the hot water heater leaked and had to be replaced. The
installers tore hell out of the closet it was in, and all that
STILL needs to be fixed. Next, the kitchen light fixture went
out and, of course, the carpet all had to be re-cleaned.
So, that's just the domestic stuff. The good news is, I have
the MOST fabulous view from my living room and I love this place
- in spite of all the aggravation. It'll all be finished
eventually.
The next PITA is something all of you should know about. My
computer picked up something called a “rootkit.” This was ugly
- and cost $300 to fix!
A rootkit isn't exactly a virus and it may not be picked up by
your anti-virus software. I was using Avast and it DID spot it
- but couldn't get rid of it. Most anti-virus and anti-spyware
scanners can't even detect a rootkit.
This baby is a nightmare. In the end, my computer had to be
reformatted, and, of course, we all know what THAT means.
Luckily, I was *mostly* backed-up.
Rootkits are not malware programs. Rather, rootkits are programs
that hide the presence of malware programs. And, they hide
themselves, so trying to get rid of them takes special knowledge
- which I'm about to give you.
Had I not been ignorant about rootkits, what they do, how to
detect and get rid of them and, now, how to keep them OFF my
computer, the guy who worked on my computer wouldn't have been
able to hold me up for 300 bucks!
He took full advantage of the situation, and I'd like to spare
you that, if possible!
Do read the entire page - take full advantage of the detectors -
and pick up one of the security tools to prevent the rootkits.
I'd also bookmark that page - just in case you fail to take
preventative action and need the information when you get hit.
And, you WILL get hit. In 10 years of working online, I never
had a virus, or any important spyware. Now, I know. It's
ALWAYS just a matter of time.
And, had I KNOWN about rootkits, I wouldn't have gotten that,
either, because I would have taken the steps to prevent it!

Before I go any further, let me alert you to a couple of things:
First - For iCop Members, ONLY
I apologize if you've been spending energy waiting for this.
It was only delayed due to my computer problems.
I WILL be doing the email address check NEXT week. Again - the
“Subject” line will contain the words, “Please Respond.”
Any members I am not able to reach by email - and I do NOT mean
by going to your web site - will be REMOVED from membership.
It is YOUR responsibility to see to it I have a working email
address at all times.
We will be having a product sale next week-end. I haven't done
this on some of our products for a long while.
Quite frankly, most of these products are going to be removed,
soon. Once we get into our iCop revamp, I won't have time to
mess with them.
So be on the alert for a “Sale” notice next Saturday!
Again, I'll start with a couple of resources for you ...

Joan has some TERRIFIC ideas. This is a monthly publication and
WELL worth your time. The blog - if you would like to check it
out - is here:

It's now more important than ever to use the Hunger Site EVERY
day. Even if you have no extra cash, yourself, you can feed
folks simply by clicking a button online.
It's going to get worse before it gets better, so now is the
time to set the habit. I subscribe to their reminder email so I
see it and remember to go there every morning.
This could be a critical time for online business. Many folks
will feel like giving up. However, the same problems are there
for those who work at 9 to 5 jobs. At least we don't have to buy the gas to drive 50 miles to work every day!
A tanking economy is not the time to give up! This is basically
the same thing I say during the summer months, when things slow
down. It's TRUE - you can turn a negative into a positive for
yourself more easily than usual. Now is the time to become VERY
productive, rather than slowing down.
The best answer is to simply ignore all the fear-mongering. Yes
- gas and groceries and everything else are going up in price -
and will probably continue to do so. Stores are going into
bankruptcy - banks are in trouble - homes are being lost.
I'm not going to sit here and depress you by outlining all the
problems we have in the world, right now, and how we got them. I'm sure you know. If you don't know, you soon will. (Although I WILL say at the bottom of it is pure unadulterated
GREED.)
Yes - money will be tight, but it does NOT have to be tight for
YOU. In fact, soon, you will see more and more folks trying
their hand at making a living - or just extra money - by working
online.
It's true they may not have much money to fund themselves, but
hey - that doesn't mean they'll fail. And, they are new
customers for established online businesses.
So, take heart. The WWW is STILL a great place to make a living.
Reinvent yourself. It's a perfect time.
I'll save all the admonitions on paying attention and not
getting sucked in by pond scum for another time. You know what
to do. As long as you stay ethical and don't get greedy, you'll
be okay. (The pond scum uses greed for bait.)
In fact, simply do what you can, then, stop worrying about it.
If you worry about the economy and refuse to see anything other
than the sorry-ass condition we're in, you'll create MORE of it.
The trick is to give your attention to what you want to
increase. Pay all that attention by whining about how tough
things are, and you'll simply create more problems.
Back in 2000, internet businesses were going belly-up all over
the place. I made it a point to ignore all that.
I decided NOT to fold. It would have been easy to do. We were
barely out of our infancy, at that time. AND, a promised
backer tried a hostile take-over of the organization. But, for
me, quitting wasn't an option.
In fact, it was during that time I decided to EXPAND iCop. I
changed the name and got this show on the road. That's exactly
what I'm doing this time, too. And, it will work.
It isn't as if we've never seen recession or inflation before.
We have. I realize we do have some additional challenges
worldwide, this time. But, humanity will persevere. We always
do!
All we have to do is ... "Keep On Keepin' On!"
You may or may not be inclined to do something like this. I saw
it at Joan's blog that I mentioned earlier. I think it's a
FABULOUS idea.
I'm sure it was created for different reasons, but there
couldn't be any better way to make you feel rich. If you FEEL
rich, you become rich.
We create through our feelings - NOT our words. So, how we feel
right now is all-important to get us through this rough patch.
I'm not even going to tell you about it. I'll let you discover
it at the web site below. It's fun, and it's a glorious way to
take care of yourself!
