Re: [ontolog-forum] Virus Alert! - please read!

[Pavithra <pavithra_kenjige@xxxxxxxxx>]

-   My laptop had Trojan virus, probably infected through twitter from yesterday.
-   If you read any of my emails,  please run anti virus program.

Symptoms
  -  I had a notice that my anti-virus software license had expired ! 
  -  Emails got held up for few hours.. a delay in delivering the email.  ( it felt like as if someone hijacked your email and read it somewhere..)
  -  When I called the anti-virus software vendor, they did not confirm that expiration of license.... there was some confusion.
  -   However I was able to run the anti-virus program and there was Trojan virus,  and I removed it.
  -  Once the anti-virus was removed...  my license was not effected.  


My emails should be clean now!  However if you read my email  yesterday or today morning, your computer may be infected.   I apologise.   There were no other symptoms.

Apologies again!
Pavithra

Wordnet uses "entity" as a root synset, with no hypernym.  Its hyponyms
include lots of things which don't have their own existence.

WordNet lists a dozen synsets for "thing": "an action", "an event", "an
artifact","a statement", "any attribute or quality", "a feeling", "a
special objective",  "a special situation", "a special abstraction", "a
persistent feeling...", as well as an entity that either "separate and
self-contained" or "is not named".  This seems more like they are
describing not different meanings of the word, but different categories
that instances of thing may fall into.

It seems you are referring to the NUMERAL 1, not the NUMBER.  You are
referring to a sign/character in the set of "Arabic numerals".  Sanskrit,
Assamese, Bengali, Tibetan, Thai, Javanese, Chinese, Korean, Georgian,
Ethiopian, Hebrew, and Greek (among others) all have different signs.
