.:x:M:A:S:. , 60! is referring to the title of this thread.

60! … the article at the following link gets technical but in the beginning it should not be too hard to understand and will answer your question. If not, post again. :slight_smile:

If you want to easily follow a certain thread on the forum (especially if you are the thread starter) and have made a post in said thread, you can assure this while making a post. Below the box you type your post in, you will see "Additional Options..." and you should click on that. This opens the options; one of which is a checkbox for "Notify me of replies." A checkmark in this box will allow you to follow the post as you will get notifications when a new post occurs in that thread. 

Otherwise, you can look down the list until you find a thread with "NEW" beside it's title. I think this is what most regulars to this forum do. If not a regular, then the above paragraph may be the way to go. 

I hope this helps you.    :)

yes I got the meaning, hehe a little later but, I was a little reading vacantly :-[ Sorry about that :-[

Thank you CharleyO, I couldnt make heads out of the article! So I went to cnet, and, this what their article said. X svchost.exe Added by the DELF-UX TROJAN! Note - this is not the legitimate svchost.exe process which is always located in the System (9x/Me) or System32 (NT/2K/XP) folder and should not normally figure in Msconfig/Startup! This file is located in the Winnt or Windows folder :-. So i guess I should block it?? Sorry to be so dumb. I’ll keep cking back, please dont be angry with me for not understanding. Thank you for your patience! Just a yes or no will do, anyone please. 60!
