Filtering with Google Groups

This newsgroup has become quite irritating to read as of late, and
there's about half a dozen people i'd like NOT to see show up in
here.. While i check out this place mostly at work for solidworks
related questions, we dont have any newsgroup software installed on
these machines that would easily allow me to setup filters. Is there a
way to filter out users through the google groups? I'm not holding my
breath, but if its possible it may just keep me logging on every day.
Just seems any solidworks conversation is steered into a pointless
flame war that serves absolutly nothing because everyone is a bonehead
pursuing their own agendas.. I know this will probably end up in a
flame war i'm sure, but just on the off chance i might get some useful
information, i may as well try.

 

I wish. I use Google Groups so that I don't actually have to download
the troll dreck directly onto my computer. No screens, though, which
is a drag.

Meanwhile, commit to simply not acknowledging the presence or
existence of the worst trolls.

This looks promising.

 

Mozilla Firefox offers no kill switches, however Mozilla Thunderbird
does. They are both free downloads.

Is that still the most common virus entry point?
Think it works with Google Groups?

 

Not if you have half a brain.

While I've got AV software installed, I never get a virus.

 

Bub, people *HAVE TO GET A VIRUS* before anybody
like AVG can search for it. Then AVG has to update their
software *after it's been found* and everyone has to
update.
Chances are some viruses & ther malware have never been
found at all.
How many have you found?

 

Joining clueless in the clueless bin? Or just playing
with Winger's Disease?

 

Well, if you don't open e-mails, files and attachments that are suspect
or are from people you don't know, and are careful which web sites you
visit, then the chances of getting infected are really quite small if not
zero.

Also avoid cracked software, file sharing schemes, and be the only user
of your peecee. If you have kids/teens then buy them their own box and
plan on having to nuke it once every three months or so. They will be the
ones who get the virii that no AV sopftware knows about yet.

 

Why do they call it "Outlook Distress"?

The home firewall .... kids in the front.

But who, exactly, spots the new viruses & reports them?
How & where?
