Spam??????

I realize this is not specifically a question related to Military matters but I thought it a proper question for this site none the less in the hope that there would be a couple of responders who understood what I am asking here. The question is, how many of you had the meat product Spam on your menu in the Armed Forces and what you thought of it? I will refrain from further comment as I already know what I think of Spam. Please, this is an honest question and I assure you I am not a troll. I would really appreciate honest answers here. Good luck to you.



First Sergeant, US Army retiredSpam??????
Fried on the side or chopped and mixed with the scrambled eggs. Quite filling, but not as good as Chili-Mac or Hamburgers-in-Disguise.



Thanks for the memories Top.Spam??????
I've eaten it and still do on occasion. If you chop it into small pieces it makes a tasty addition to an omelet, besides its traditional use as a sandwich meat. Hawaii still uses quite a bit of spam, having inherited the habit during World War Two.

When I was on active duty it was served on amphib ships where I was a member of the landing force embarked in the ship. Also had a bit of it as field rations.Spam??????
Well i have very limited experiance with Army foot as i am in ROTC and therefore only visit a base for Ranger Challenge and a few FTX's a year



When there we mostly eat MRE's which have no spam (unfortunately) but the few times we ate mess hall food there was no spam whatsoever.



So my exposure wan nothing, but as i said i am limited until i graduate college and get assigned somewhere



They should defiantly put it in the MRE's though, it's good stuff!
I like it fried

Spam?????????????

does anyone know what spam is made of im curiousSpam?????????????
According to the The Amazing SPAM Home Page, the ingredients of SPAM are as follows:



* chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added

* salt (for binding, flavor, and firmness)

* water (to help in mixing)

* sugar (for flavor)

* sodium Nitrite (for color and as a preservative)
Along with what the other folks said, if you are curious, the name came from the fact that it is Spiced Ham......SpamSpam?????????????
Mostly pork shoulder, ham, sugar, salt, water, potato starch and some nitrate preservative.



No mystery meat.

How to notify yahoo that my email is sending out spam to my contact list?

my email account has a virus or has been hacked so that they (spamers) send junk mail to my contact list what can you do to help rectify this situationHow to notify yahoo that my email is sending out spam to my contact list?
Deleting your account or Contacts List will NOT stop this spam - once the spammers have the address, they will continue to use it for a while. Spam sent to your Contacts will also stop in a while, but it is annoying. Yahoo's advice is to change your password, but there is more to do than just that.



1. Check that the alternate e-mail address is still yours, under Options, Mail Options, Account Information, then change it! (so the hacker will not be notified of the change). Then change both your password AND your secret questions and answers. Make them unique and long, strong ones with mixed characters!

(*** Changing your password also deletes the cookie which apparently inserts that sly trojan address grabber. ***)

If you used this password for other accounts, change them too - make every one different. Make the password much longer than 8 characters, with mixed symbols.

Usually, this is all you need to do, although mail will still be sent in the name of the old account for a while.



For a Yahoo account, you can change your password at https://edit.yahoo.com/config/change_pw. If you can no longer access your account, you can get a new password at https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/.

If you still can’t access your account after going through the “Forgot Your Password” process, you may contact the Customer Care team for assistance. Click Help, then Customer Care, then Live Chat - it make take a while, but a human answers! (If the page loads slowly, refresh it, or click the F5 key.) You will be asked several questions to verify that you are the owner of the account.



2. *** If spam mail was sent to any of your contacts, apologize, and notify all your contacts NOT to open short e-mails, especially those with no subject, and definitely not to click any links. Warn them to scan for malware too, just in case. Set up an alternate 'alias' account to use instead. This allows you to use a different address for sending, but still keep all saved mails and contacts and the first address active too for incoming mail. Your friends can trust this new address. (There is a choice of address in an arrow in the From: box.)

http://edit.yahoo..com/config/list_alias (alternate address)



3. Just to be very sure your computer is not infected, run both an anti-virus and spyware/malware scans, updated and separately - even more than one malware scan, or Trend Micro's Housecall for an online a-v scan. (in 'Safe Mode with Networking' is the only truly effective method - click F8 repeatedly when the screen first lights on boot-up, then arrow keys and Enter to navigate.) Re-boot into Safe Mode for each separate scan. These are the best free anti-malware programs.

4. Delete all System Restore points from Control Panel %26gt; Recovery (or System Restore in XP), Once clean, re-boot and create a new restore point.



5. Then delete cookies, cache and history in case the malware can 'self- reproduce'. Try using the CCleaner download program. It's free, and cleans your computer's 'junk files with one click - a good thing to do every so often anyway. Next, use its cautious safe registry cleaner in case the malware left behind some 'clues'.

(Ribbit)How to notify yahoo that my email is sending out spam to my contact list?
Yahoo unfortunately can't do anything as this is caused by Malware on your computer, not by Yahoo



You need to do the following to stop it

1 - change your email password

2 - run FULL scans for both viruses and malware. A virus scan alone is not enough. You also need to run Malwarebytes which you can download for free. Then delete any infected files

3 - after running the scan, delete your browsing history and cookies and empty your cache

4 - restart your computer



In most cases, this will stop it



This Yahoo article explains how Malware works to spam your contacts http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?y=PROD_MS…How to notify yahoo that my email is sending out spam to my contact list?
They cannot sort your computer out, that's your responsibility. Your account got compromised. First change your password. Account help.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/acct/in… for just about anything to do with your account. Then run anti Virus and Anti Spyware. Should be fine then.
You must report this kind of abuse to this link so they can help you and tell you what to do:

What is the best program to use to scan my computer for unwanted programs, spam, malware etc...?

The computer is older but still runs a little slow and I account some of that to the internet provider, but it seems to run all the time. Never idle. I run Systems Care often and it says there is nothing wrong and clears the temp file and all that good stuff. But I think there is something more going on. Any ideas or suggestions?What is the best program to use to scan my computer for unwanted programs, spam, malware etc...?
AVG Free.
You need to use Malwarebytes PLUS a good antivirus program to clean your computer (scan with both, Malwarebytes first). You can get Malwarebytes from download.com. As for a good antivirus, here is an article about how to choose one - http://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/wha鈥?/a>

Hope this helps.What is the best program to use to scan my computer for unwanted programs, spam, malware etc...?
If your computer has not been formatted in a long time, it is prone to have incidental system degradation, in other words it will get slow. If you want to keep your computer truly safe, I would recommend you to run Faronics layered security, This way your computer will be safe regardless of the amount of malware available.



Now since you are asking which software, I would recommend Eset Smart Security. It works well for home computers (amazingly so) and is light on resources.



If you are suspecting more, try to run the disk defragmenter:



Here is a step by step guide for that

It is inevitable that registry has some errors, due to various issues like program uninstallation, invalid operations by you, virus, etc. If you never clean your registry before, you should use a registry cleaner to do a scan and you will find there are bazillion redundant, corrupt and missing keys in it.The registry errors are the main causes of your computer running slow and some problems like freezes, blue screen, crash, etc. To make your computer run faster, you need to clean registry regularly.Frequent maintenance using a registry cleaner is crucial to make your computer go faster.I should like to commend Registry Easy to you ! The registry must be cleaned to make a computer run faster.

On the windows partition of my macbook I run a few free programs to keep it running, and have used these programs to delete viruses.



Spybot S%26amp;D -- Free

Ad-aware -- Free

and then a random free antivirus, most are simply trials, but the previous 2 things should be good enough to prevent viruses, but you will need an antivirus if you want to eliminate an existing virus.



I used a trial of AVG
Comodo Internet Security Pro 2012 prevents attack before they start., Stops viruses entering your pc !!!

No ONE single program will do the job.



This is what I use:

1. Microsoft Security Essentials : Anti Virus and Anti Spy Ware

2. Malwarebytes: Anti Trojan and fake virus warnings.

3. CCleaner: Crap Cleaner.
Use Avast pro along with Reginout on your system to improve security and performance of your issue. Thanks
