nope - no link for me
I'm not saying you have malware but I'd run a scan just in case.

Pouncer

Hey all. Busy getting my life back together, catching up after taking 3 weeks off for the flu.

I just wanted to drop by quickly and say good morning to you all. I am making early-morning cookies for my kids’ bake sale. Hope you all have a great day!

Congratulations Bob on 7 weeks!

venuscat

Hello darling Pouncer....I was so hoping to see you today.
So glad to hear all is well, and have fun with the cookies. s ❤️

Pouncer

Hey Venus! I wanted to see if I could catch you this morning, too! Hope you are well!

I got a new teaching job starting in the fall and also am starting work on an nonprofit grant project. Opening my business in 3-4 weeks...It’s crazy how fast things move when you don’t drink.

venuscat

That's wonderful love!!! So happy for you....
I will be pleased when we get some sun...a bit gloomy here but all good. ❤️

I am using an iPad Dee and can't seem to scan. It's connected to my Apple desktop which I haven't used in a long time. I don't know if it's malware or not? iPad and desktop being connected counts, hey?

Now when I go to the pic I posted the link below is no longer there? What can malware do to me. I'm not very computer savvy.

And I haven't got a keyboard or mouse for my desktop as could not afford. I threw two Apple keyboards out when I moved!!! Now I can't access the desktop.

I'll take it to the Apple shop. This sucks.

venuscat

No clue, I didn't see it.

There might be anti-virus software on your desktop computer love, we need an Apple person to tell you where it is.... s xx

Steely

Congratulations on 9 weeks bob. And congratulations on new job Zura. ❤️

Sorry not much more to say outside of had this malevolent intruder lurked my computer when I was drinking I would have ditched it in the garbage and as I did with the two keyboards, plus an Apple desktop come to think of it.

I'm going to have a cup of coffee. Raining here.

Hi Pouncer so good to see you. ❤️

Steely

Oh yeah, and the time before that the remainder of my vinyl records. The really good stuff!

Do not drink steely it is stupid and self destructive.

No risk that I will. Just note to self.

Steely

Dee, when I said the link was no longer on my pic I was looking at the pic you sent back to me. It does not appear on my op any longer, but the address for the post image site does, at top.

Sorry Dee this is a drag. I'll take it to the shop or computer nerd or some teenager on the street. Would it be worthwhile deleting the pic?

Steely

Thanks Venus. I can't access my desktop because have no keyboard or mouse. I'll take it to the shop.

I guess all I really want to know is how can malware effect me?

Zura

Good Morning All,
Bob - I try not to think too much, I reckon 99% of my thinking is overthinking/unnecessary 😂 I like meditating prob why I like gardening. I hope you have a good day.

Steely - your cactus flower is beautiful! I'm afraid I'm not technical so can't help with the malware stuff. Hope you work it out.

Pouncer - That's very exciting re your business. Congrats. Your a very busy lady

Venus - so funny, your coming out of your big freeze as we approach our winter. It's pleasant warm being very early autumn and it's so green and lush at the moment, raining today. I bought a market umbrella to garden under so hopefully I can do the same and still get some stuff done today but it's pretty heavy. Lovely to listen too *sigh

Steely

Thanks for compliment on cactus flower Zura. Beautiful it is.

Just about to leave for quit smoking clinic see you all later.

venuscat

But our lovely warm temp is 12C max dear Zura.... he he.....I am cold.

Hope you awesome Aussies have a wonderful Autumn day. s xx

Hi Steely I'm not really an expert - and I don;t own an ipad so I'm not sure what you mean when you say the address for the post image site appears at top.

Malware can be a problem especially if its ransomware - that means someone remotely locking your device and you having to pay to get it released.

Thats more a Windows thing tho- wasn't sure what device you were using.

I understand that Apple is intrinsically pretty good on that score tho - so unless you notice weird things happening again, you;'re probably ok.

Steely

Thanks Dee.

And sorry all for being a drag with stupid computer stuff. Got frightened, that's all. Apple Support were good and I'm sorting it out. All will be well.

I'm going to buy some Native Violets to hang in baskets from some lattice I had erected. Similar to vertical garden idea. Wonderwall.

Going to be raining here for a few days which will be good. I love the rain.

My love to all.

venuscat

I love vertical gardens Steely.
Can't wait to see it. s

I was thinking along the same lines as Dee...and really glad that Apple customer service are helpful.
