Blackies bow out bravely ....

Blackburn Under 15's lost their last finals match last week against Ferntree Gully Eagles. The season is over but they can be justly proud of their efforts. Well done to them all.

.... but now it's time for bat and ball

Free Anti-Virus Software?

My desktop was infected with the ZLOB virus and McAfee could not detect it. ZLOB regularly issued a warning that the PC was infected and that I should download their product to clean it up.

I don't know what else it is likely to fix but it is worth keeping in mind for future issues.
