    EV> You can.   
      
   i do an awful lot of security related stuff... that includes reading network   
   traffic packets and dealing with various attempts of infestation   
   infiltrations... so yes, i do get deep into the thick of the shite at times ;)

   oops! either that question has been removed or i mistyped the qid numbers when   
   i transcribed it from the one machine to the other... sorry... i'll try to   
   find it again...

   looks like i left off the last two characters...   
      
    ml> i'm still looking for something legitimate that points to a   
    ml> virus from amazonaws... right now i'm reading through a few   
    ml> assistance topics on bleeping computer where they are running   
    ml> through some cleanup stuff supposedly related to amazonaws...   
      
   this is still true...   
      
    EV> I just checked my Firefox Cookies and don't have any for amazonaws   
    EV> . Earlier this year I made some purchases from Amazon but don't   
    EV> intend to buy anything from them just now.   
      
   you probably won't find any unless they are possibly related to CDN (content   
   delivery network) traffic coming from there... in any case, many folks just   
   aren't used to pulling information from a site other than the one they are   
   actually visiting... the thing is that this is how the web was designed from   
   the beginning ;)   
      
    EV> Yesterday I read a Article of Kim Kimando's about "Legally   
    EV> Downloading Free Music" by going to Amazon Music .   
    EV> I kept the Link in Her Article if I get interested in doing that. I   
    EV> Love Southern Gospel Music and my reading Kim's mention of it I may   
    EV> go take a look see to see if there is any music of the flavor I   
    EV> like.    
      
   yeah, there's a lot of places like that... you purchase a license to listen to   
   the music so it is like going to the store and buying them... the problem that   
   gets run into the the DRM (digital rights management) mess... trying to copy   
   that music to another machine and play there may be problematic... perhaps the   
   machine is a new one that you are upgrading to and you simply want to move all   
   your data, documents, and music to it... this is one of the problems that DRM   
   brings forth... it is a battle that has raged for over a decade...   
      
    ml> one person has gathered quite a mess of infestations but   
    ml> nothing specific to amazonaws... they've cleared a lot of stuff   
    ml> using three or four tools and reset their firefox to defaults   
    ml> and now are in the process of cleaning up their chrome   
    ml> browser... i'm going back to bed when i finish reading their   
    ml> topic... it makes my head hurt :/   
      
    EV> Ed Did It! TM    :-(   
      
   hahahaha... no, trying to wade through all those logs on a 80x25 screen plus   
   not being fully awake at that time is what did it... i felt better after   
   another 4 or 5 hours of sleep...   
      
    EV> Again, many thanks for showing interest in what bothered me.    
      
   you are welcome ;)

   If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until   
   you hire an amateur.
