A re-run of March, 2018

A very frustrating day!

I powered on my Mac to see some malware present. It was the “ActivityInputd” malware.

I spent a great deal of time trying to get rid of it, including a long call with Apple Support and an attempt to install Malwarebytes software. All to no avail at present.

So I just decided to republish the post I published on March 4th, 2018. It was a Picture Parade. Number Two Hundred and Thirty-Three.

ooOOoo

Closer to home!

In a reply to a post response left by fellow blogger Tails Around the Ranch I wrote:

Came up to Oregon for the rain, found a property that had been empty for years, Bank owned, put in a silly offer that was accepted, sold our Payson home and moved here, with 12 dogs and 6 cats, in October, 2012! Love the place. Will share some pictures of here next Sunday!

So today I am sharing a few pictures with you all. (All of them taken very recently.)

Mount Sexton just to the North-East of us. Take Feb. 24th.

oooo

Another, more starker, Mt. Sexton taken two days later.

oooo

Smoke from our neighbour’s wood fire mingles in the damp air of the trees in the corner of our property. Taken March 1st.

oooo

Rain-laden clouds almost mask Mt. Sexton. Taken March 1st.

oooo

The deer that we feed each morning have made their own trail. March 1st.

oooo

The deer trail to the area by the stables where the food is put out each morning. March 1st.

oooo

Young, dear Oliver playing in that deer trail. March 1st.

oooo

The rain drops on these pine needles caught my eye. March 1st.

oooo

Not just deer that coming feeding on our property. March 1st.

oooo

Another scene that caught my eye. March 1st.

oooo

Final picture showed how the storm deteriorated during that first day of March. Taken at 2pm.

So this is why Jeannie and me and all our dogs, not to mention the horses, love living here.

ooOOoo

It was chosen purely at random but it is a real pearl of a post.

My how things change!

  Thanks Susan. What defeated me was finding that Apple Support were unable to remove the bug despite screen sharing and then Malwarebytes not being a straightforward download and install app. The next couple of days should see it sorted!

    That kind of thing is very frustrating to deal with. Glad it was sorted out.

Hard to hit the like button when you are having malware issues. My son makes me put Malwarebytes on my computers every time I upgrade. He will even pay for it so I have it. So far, so good. Hope you get it worked out.

  Well Marlene, your son is spot on. It was the answer for me and I have swapped from my present antivirus and anti malware software to Malwarebytes!

    Ironically Marlene this has all happened soon after installing a VPN. I guess I was very lucky not to have had this malware problem before now.
