Thanks to Sandie for this report:
A hot red convertible with an equally hot woman driver raced
by as my husband and his friend stopped to stare.
"Wow," sighed Rick. "Nice."

"Yeah," agreed his buddy, transfixed.

"What color was the car?" I asked.

They answered simultaneously, "Blonde."

The CIA loses track of one of its operatives, and so calls in
one of their top spy hunters.

The CIA boss says, "All I can tell you is that his name is
Murphy and that he's somewhere in Ireland.  If you think
you've located him, tell him the code words, 'The weather
forecast calls for mist in the morning.' If it's really him, he'll
answer, 'Yes, and for mist at noon as well.'"

So the spy hunter goes to Ireland and stops in a bar in one of
the small towns.  He says to the bartender, "Maybe you can
help me. I'm looking for a guy named Murphy."

The bartender replies, "You're going to have to be more
specific because, around here, there are lots of guys named
Murphy. There's Murphy the Baker, who runs the pastry shop
on the next block. There's Murphy the Banker, who's president
of our local savings bank.  There's Murphy the Blacksmith, who
works at the stables.  And, as a matter of fact, my name is
Murphy, too."

Hearing this, the spy hunter figures he might as well try the
code words on the bartender, so he says, "The weather forecast
calls for mist in the morning."

The bartender replies, "Oh, you're looking for Murphy the Spy.
He lives next door, up on the second floor."

An INTERNATIONAL BONEHEAD AWARD goes to 

Derrick Price, 43, Orange County, Florida

Running a strip club out of barber shop

Get your ears lowered and your pants raised.
That may have been the business model of a strip bar 
that was allegedly run out of a barber shop in Orange County, 
Florida.

Undercover agents working for the Metropolitan Bureau of 
Investigation conducted a many months long investigation of 
Super Fades barber shop before finally raiding the place 
early Sunday morning.

MBI investigator Lt. Mike Gibson said the agents visited the 
barbershop by day and saw it turn into an illegal strip bar 
every Saturday night.

“On each and every occasion they were serving alcohol and 
they had strippers. And, not strippers following local law, 
but strippers that went completely nude,” Gibson told WFTV TV.

Along with the barber pole in front of Super Fades, there was 
a stripper pole installed inside the establishment.

"That would have been a piece of equipment that was there 
even when they operated during the day while they acted as a 
barbershop," Gibson said, according to UPI.com

Agents purchased $20 worth of illegal vodka at Super Fades 
early Sunday morning before discovering one of the dancers 
was a 17-year-old female.

"As we were conducting the investigation, we were able to 
identify one of the dancers being a juvenile, and that led 
to the need to speed the investigation up," Gibson told WESH TV.

Derrick Price, 43, the owner of Super Fades, was arrested and 
charged with allowing a worker to engage in nudity, allowing a 
person under 18 in an adult entertainment establishment, 
operation of an establishment without a valid license and 
possession of alcohol without a license with intent to sell.

He was released after posting bond and is due in court on Monday.

The 17-year-old who was allegedly stripping was also arrested.

Gibson said the stripping pole has since been removed.

Re: Kasperski vs McAfee vs Malwarebytes

Dear Webby
 your efforts in your newsletter continue to be greatly 
appreciated, as they have for a few years now. 

How does the kaspersky internet security malware detection 
compare to malwarebytes anti-malware you now tout ?

Are malware programs similar to anti-virus programs in the 
respect of you do not want to run two programs concurrently ?

How does spy-bot fit into the malware picture, it does cookies 
not malware ?

Again thank you for your time & sharing your wisdom.

steve j.

Dear Steve
Kasperski is the equivalent of McAfee. Some months McAfee is 
a nose ahead, some months it's Kasperski. Both are huge 
companies and not really known for good personal support.
However, they generally run fine and very rarely require 
contacting their support.

You can consider those two, and Vipre as well, as heavy bombers. 
Slow, and reasonably reliable.

They try to be a total solution for everything, including
blocking spam. However, they are rather klutzy about that. 
It is best to disable their email section.
The same goes for Vipre.

MalwareBytes by comparison is a fighter plane. It can take 
care of really nasty trojans, which disable McAfee and 
Kasperski.
Malwarebytes also goes after "agreed to" nuisance stuff, 
like pop up ads, browser redirection, search engine 
redirection, etc. MalwareBytes does not care who agreed 
to that kind of crap. It recognizes crap and flushes it.

Both Kasperski and McAfee try to uninstall Malwarebytes. 
They seem to be really jealous and envious and start a 
silly pissing contest.

Most recommendations are that you stick with McAfee or 
Kasperski or Vipre for continuous routine protection, 
and use MalwareBytes just for extreme problems or 
"agreed to" crap.

I have run machines with just MalwareBytes, and found 
it to be sufficient.

Spybot-Search&Destroy is free and will get some 
light-weight stuff. Because it is free, it is a good 
idea to try that first, before spending money.

Have FUN!

An excerpt from brilliant Kentucky state legislation. 

"No female shall appear in a bathing suit on any highway 
within this state unless she be escorted by at least two 
officers or unless she be armed with a club." 

The following important amendment however is to be considered 
here: "The provisions of this statute shall not apply to 
females weighing less than 90 pounds nor exceeding 200 pounds, 
nor shall it apply to male horses."
