URGGG Im SO MAD!!!!!! WARNING 2 U ALL!!

[lilbinkey]

HI All,
I just wanted to let you know that I had downloaded some Freebies from this certain website & Guess What I got or should I say my computer got.. A Flippen Virus!!!!!:(

Here is the link to the site.. I just dont want any of you to get a Virus like I did..... http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/chat/local_links.php?catid=5

That is only place I have downloaded stuff from aside from here. And there stuff doesnt go directly into SBM. Like the stuff does here.....

And I havent had any problems so far from here at SBM... Do you know of where I can download stuff (even if I have to pay for it) from? :confused:

Binkey:(

Hi Binkey,

Oh, oh. I think Scrapbook-bytes is usually a good site - but you never know! I like Scrap Girls - they have lots of freebies and lots of kits to buy, also. Hope you were able to get rid of the virus!:( :(

There is also twopeasinabucket.com. They have freebies and digital items to buy. If you google in digital scrapbooking you are bound to find a bunch of sites. If you buy from the companies themselves, you should be okay. At least, hope so.

hi Lilbinkey
So sorry to hear you had a virus,I was told by my PC store where I get mine fixed from time to time,that the minute you open your browser you are liable to get a virus,(100's out there at one time now,scary isn' it) hope you have it under control now.
I am now an avid shopper at the Daily Scrap Mall-to order kits you do have to join but its a very easy process :)
http://www.thedailyscrap.com/mall/index.php?main_page=index
apart from some freebies from time to time, they have the
most beautiful variety of kits i've come across & at such reasonable prices, quite a lot through the week go down to half price or less(try the bargain basement or clearance centre) as well as the specials, & when a new kit arrives,its usually put in at a reduced price also. I have tried many many stores but this is the best for me, I hope you like it too :)
By the way, I still like SBM the best, but its nice to be able to use other kits from time to time in SBM:)

[Jezza]

I'm sorry you got a virus :( I shop and d/l things from there frequently and have never had a virus from them. Make sure you have an anti virus checker / software and make sure it's up to date!

There's a tonne of sites out there with freebies and what heaps with shops.

Here is one site with a whole heap of links on it (I hope it's ok to post it)

http://www.scrapwiki.com/ScrapWiki/perspective.aspx?action=view&page=digital%20scrap%20web%20sites:DigitalScrapboo kWebsites

Hope this helps, and like the others have said that you got the virus under control! Good luck :D

Ohhh and you have to sign up to their newsletter to get the freebies (With Scrapgirls)

Hi Lilbinkey,

I think someone else answered this about Scrap Girls but you have to sign up for their free newsletter to get the freebies. You get about 6 freebies/week and they are really nice ones. Also, their kits to purchase are really nice. Hope you don't get any more viruses! Yuck! :(

Yes I did register for there free newsletter.. Do the Freebies come in the newsletter?
Thanks I hope not either....

[Jezza]

Yep, they come in the newsletter. And you just click them, it takes you to another website (The scrap girls one) and download them from there :) Very easy!

[Corey]

Incidentally if anyone wants good anti-virus protection which doesn't slow your system down, add a ton of crap to your system, or cost a ton of money - NOD 32 is awesome. I've been using it for a while now, very happy with it. Much better than Norton IMO. $39/yr. ($29/yr. on a 2 yr. license)

It's small, fast, and reliable. :)

P.S. This is just my personal opinion - not to be construed as the position of Indigo Rose Software Corp. in any way.

They send out 2-3 Newsletters a week and the freebies are included in them. Usually on the top of the newsletter. I just got one today as a matter of fact.

LOL - I have a HEAP of things waiting to be purchased. And instead of the list going down, it seems to go UP :eek:

It also doesn't help (Well in some ways it does) that I have DSL now and everything goes so fast :P

[Lor]

Well, at least you keep a list... You are much more under control then I...;) I tend to buy, buy, buy... and then the dh gets mad, mad, mad! :D I just can't refrain from buying a kit, I fall in love with!!! :rolleyes: (It's just like walking into a scrapbook store! :D )

I too have DSL and I couldn't imagine not having it... I guess I would be doing alot of ordering kits and such on CDs otherwise...

[Granny]

[Jezza]

[Moonbeam]

Is SB Max coming out with an upgrade soon Marion? Hah? Hah? Inquiring minds wanna know... :D
Nah! can't be that,,just yet.. I saw a post by Corey just the other day where he said it would be about another 12 months for that.. they try to upgrade every 18 months....What is it then?

[Sandy]

Maybe Granny has her own upcoming release?! I'm sure she'll fill us in...

[Lor]

Yah, but all of us scrappers are all alike! When there is something new out there, we must have it now!!! No patience involved... ;)

[Corey]

Granny has a secret! Granny has a secret! Ooh Oo the suspense!!! :D

[Lor]

[Granny]

Moombeam, don't you play possum now... You know perfectly well what is going on. You're a part of it. And Ladybug. You two just rather let me do all the work of getting the masses riled up!!!! :p :rolleyes:

Granny

[Moonbeam]

[Kazr]

Granny
For goodness sake spill the beans, the suspense is killing us all :D

[Marion]

What can we bribe you with Moonbeam?

Marion

[Moonbeam]

$50,000 should open this mouth... or hang on .. Granny and Ladybug ..what will you pay me to be quiet?
LoL...... We'll build up all this suspense and then when we tell 'em everyone will say " Is THAT all? " - you stooges.. !!!
But let me say this .. It IS exciting for US!.......the 3 musketeers or 3 stooges?

[Granny]

Moonbeam.... I can pay a hit person just $300 to put you out of your misery and keep you quiet.... I'ts your call!

Granny :eek:

[Moonbeam]

http://www.smileypad.com/v224/Rude/LaLaLa.gif
you CAN'T do that Granny - YOU NEEDme!!!!http://www.smileypad.com/v224/Feelings/Cunning-Plan.gif

[Moonbeam]

Moonbeam.... I can pay a hit person just $300 to put you out of your misery and keep you quiet.... I'ts your call!

Granny :eek:
What???? $300????????
I just went to the fruit and veg shop to do my shopping and I found out I can get a hitman much cheaper than that................................
The Sign said "ARTICHOKES 3 FOR $1.80 "
So if Arti chokes 3 for $1.80 He'd probably choke you for around 60c...:p

[Marion]

You got me chuckling again Moonbeam. This must be the funniest forum around!

Marion

[Moonbeam]

HI marion.. we do have a lovely bunch here don't we! Most of whom have a lively sense of humour-thankfully!

[OnieRN]

I'm rolling and laughing at you guys!!!!

[Granny]

Why you persnikery peon!!!! You send Arti here and I will get Igor out of the basement, ops, excuse me, dungeon, and he will give you a free perm with all those wires he keeps down there for the newbies initiation!!!!! So there! :eek:

Hey, Marion, when are be going to initiate this new crop that just came in? ;)

Granny

<whisper> I hate arquishocks <whisper> :eek:

[Moonbeam]

Hot wires? curling hair? you running an on the side Hair dressing salon at your house??? Perms are not the "in thing" at the moment here so I'll pass on that thanks. Can I make an appointment with Igor for a trim?

I had heard that you Americans keep strange things in your basement!!!!:eek:

[Granny]

Marion, Corey, Kazr, Marnie...... What do you keep in your basement? :eek:

Granny :cool:

[Marion]

You don't want to know Granny, it even scares me to go down there!

Huge piles of dirty laundry. Yuck!
I try to avoid that place at all cost, that's why I spent so much time online with you guys!

Marion

[Granny]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLO! Yeahhhhhhhh baby! You really are a woman after my own heart! Kindred spirits!

Granny :D

[Moonbeam]

Everytime I see a movie with an American home with a basement and/or an Attic.. I think how wonderful it would be to have such a space...Oh Dream on!!!!! - I'll just keep my storage items in the shed!!!

[Corey]

Marion, Corey, Kazr, Marnie...... What do you keep in your basement?
Me. I live in the basement. This new house is about 2000ft2 split between 2 floors. A sax player rents the main floor and I converted the basement suite into a studio/office. It's awesome, very nice suite with all the amenities and a great layout. I love it. I can play drums at 3AM (and I do) and there's no sound leakage to the outside. Woohoo! Hooray for basements!!!

[Moonbeam]

Wow! Go Corey!!! My son is a fantastic Drummer.. I could listen to him for hours.. Dont know what the neighbours were on about?

[Marion]

So Corey, you are the scary thing that lives in your basement!

Marion

[Corey]

Booga booga!!!

[Granny]

Yeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! One down for Marion!!!!!! :D

Granny :p

[Moonbeam]

Good ONE Marion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
