Skip to comments.Are computer viruses just a protection racket?
Posted on 04/29/2008 5:24:58 AM PDT by reaganator
I have persistant, official looking pop ups in a yellow box (system alert) that are now telling me my computer is infected with viruses.
This eventually leads to the cure, me paying them 49.95
Seems like an old time protection racket to me. Odd that as soon as my computer acquires these viruses the prompting of the anti-virus companies begin.
Any thoughts on this?
It's a scam by the antivirus company. Go to a site you know and download a fix for free.
Never, ever give your money to Symantec.
Those popups are not from legit antivirus developers- their "solutions" are usually conduits for more spyware. Get an AV program from a reputable publisher to remove them. Even the commercial ones like Norton offer a free trial version that will remove an infection.
Actually, it means you have spyware.
My advice, go to www.kaspersky.com and use their free online scan tool.
I actually never get these warning, then again I never download anything that looks sketchy.
Just keep you AV up to date, it's not so much a protection scam though, that pop up is caused by spyware, and the program they tell you to download is even more spyware that won't get rid of any virus, it will actually give you more.
I have a anti-virus program through my ISP, I had trouble removing my Norton 2005 so I don't know how well it's working.
Download AVG, which is free for personal use. It is excellent, and updates its tables pretty much every night.
(And yes, I do believe that the Anti-Virus Industry is a protection racket, and I have often suspected that viruses "appear" for no better reason than to require antivirus upgrades. Only mugs believe that the Anti-Virus industry wants computer viruses to go away.)
Thank you!
Spybot Search and Destroy (free) does a decent job of whacking this kind of thing. Download it... install it... update definitions.... reboot.... tap the f8 key... select safe mode.... run it.... and pray.
also, www.hijackthis.de is helpful in whacking this type of crapware. Use the direct download link on the top right of the page. Paste the log into the page, and click on nasties to remove them.
Good luck.
That being said, and even though we use Symantec at work, I would recommend that you NOT use Symantec or any of the big name products on your home PCs. They're expensive and they slow your system down especially if you install the full "security suite" or whatever they're calling it.
On my Windows systems at home I use:
Antivirus: AVG Free (http://free.grisoft.com)
Antispyware: Microsoft Windows Defender (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)
Web Filtering: Blue Coat K9 Web Protection (http://www1.k9webprotection.com)
All of these products work well and they are FREE. I've been using these products for years and I highly recommend them.
Those are on the systems my wife and kids use. My personal notebook is running Ubuntu Linux 8.04 and I don't need any of that stuff. It is dual-boot, so on the rare occasion that I do have to boot into Windows, I've got all of that running.
Never again give Symantec or McAfee a bunch of money to slow down your computer and lock you into a subscription.
I love AVG
Those are keyed, usually, by your mouse pointer moving over a sensitive area of a web page, causing the pop up.
Some websites are worse about them.
Usually, you can ignore it or click on the 'close' or 'back' button.
Use a good virus program, however. It will catch most of the real culprits. AVG and AVAST are two that are free for home use.
I got Smitfraud into my system and it was a nightmare. I ended up wiping the HD and reloading Windows. All the "fixes", both free and paid for were of no use.
I'm with you on this one...
I once put a VERY old disk in my computer and I got a pop-up warnign that I needed a new virus software update (for a fee, of course)
The only problem is that the disk could not POSSIBLY have had the virus it claimed because it had not been written yet when I last used that disk.
I wish i could repeat that test
What is AVG?
also free (home edition) and I like it a bunch
"what do you think of AVAST ? www.avast.com
also free (home edition) and I like it a bunch "
While I currently have AVG on the kitchen PC, I've used Avast! in the past, and think it's first-rate.
AVG is a free-for-home-use anti-virus program
Never EVER click on a popup.
I have to click on it to make it go away. Keeps coming back.
I continually back up my data on DVD's and run a cleaner at least every week. I reformat when there's even a suspicion of a problem.
After dealing with Norton AntiVirus (real crap) I won't own another spyware program.
I have had a question I have wanted to ask someone with some knowledge of AVG and AVAST. Is one really better than the other?
Do they work as well in detecting and clearing viruses as the big companies? I really don't like how Symantec and the others have created their internet suites that clog up your system and would like a solution with a smaller footprint on my computer.
I recently had the same issue with the fake anti-virus pop ups. Super Anti Spyware fixed that issue.
Good Luck
You're welcome!
I had used Trend Micro for a couple of years and been really happy with it. It seemed to slow my computer down much less so than Symantec and McAfee. That all changed with the last version of the program. It almost brought my computer to a complete stand still. I assume it was some kind of software conflict, and ended up having to remove the program.
I notice you didn't list a firewall. Was that an omission or do you rely on a hardware firewall?
IMHO, AVGFree is the best anti-virus application out there. But before installation, be sure to completely remove your existing anti-virus application. A Google search on AVG Free Edition will get you to the website and download area.
Early versions of Norton could be uninstalled & reinstalled, giving the user another year of free virus definitions. Symantecs' response was to make Norton AV very difficult to un-install. To completely remove Norton, you need their Norton Removal Tool. Even after using Symantecs' own tool to help people un-install Norton, I've had to manually remove Norton/Symantec registry entries, to completely rid systems of Norton. For that, I recommend RegCleaner.
What you have sounds more like Adware or Spyware, than a virus. With that being said, here's my table of free security software. You should have not problem finding (free) applications to clean your system, and help keep it clean in the future.

Above quote from:
ZERT Patches Out-of-Support Windows OS
I've run both, though Avast was in the past. IMO, I like AVG. It seems to do a cleaner update than Avast did when I had it. Don't know if that's changed, but why bother to check. AVG does it and does it very well.
But that's when I'm on XP. I have a dual boot laptop with Ubuntu 7.10 on it as well, and that's where I spend the majority of my time. The only time I run Windows is when I have something that I need a Windows application for, and it won't run well in Ubuntu.
AVG-free is the home user version of the commercial AVG.
The commercial version does have a suite that contains other elements — spam, spyware, etc.
The free version is updated once-per-day. The commercial version is updated periodically, throughout the day.
It Happened to me last week. Popped up as Windows XP anti-virus alert. It said I had 164 viruses. It asked me if I wanted to quarentine the viruses. Obviously I clicked continue, and it prompted me for my credit card number. I took it to my IT guys who said there was no such thing as Windows XP anti-virus. They checked my laptop for viruses and found none.
I had an interesting conversation with a Dell online support guy a few years ago. I was having trouble with the CD-ROM drive on my Dell PC while still under warranty. They replaced the drive, but during our conversation we got into the software I had on my PC. When I mentioned AVG Free Edition, he stated "That's what we use here on our Dell PC's".
I don't recall whether Dell at the time (2001) provided Norton or McAfee on their PC's at time of sale, but this particular service group used AVG for their in-house machines. And this guy wasn't off-shore.
That Dell is still being used for music purposes. Old, but reliable.
I have been using the Comodo (free for home use) firewall.
It absolutely shields a computer from any outside detection, based on GRC.com's Shield's Up.
"I have persistant, official looking pop ups in a yellow box (system alert) that are now telling me my computer is infected with viruses.
This eventually leads to the cure, me paying them 49.95
Any thoughts on this?"
Buy a Mac, and forget about having to pay.
I've been a Mac user since 1987 - more than twenty years.
In that time, I've NEVER had a "virus" on the computer.
NEVER had a Trojan.
NEVER had adware.
NEVER had spyware.
Yes, it may cost a little more 'up front". Once paid, though, those "yellow box warnings" will become a memory of your past....
- John
I've been meaning to add the Comodo firewall to the list.
Hey, gimme $50 for protection or I'll break your legs. I'll protect you from ME!
Ping for later download.
symantec has a program to remove the reg entries for their programs so you can reinstall. Its a free download, "norton_removal_tool.exe"
I would strongly recommend never paying to remove viruses/spyware. A fairly easy to follow procedure for removing SmitFraud is here.
I know it's too late now, but that site has many, many other removal tuitorials, should you ever become infected again in the future.
Got the new 3.06GHz iMac 24 incher yesterday - SWEET!
The "yeah, but" here is that there isn't much bang for the virus/hack/trojan whatever for MACs and MAC networks for the bad guys. However, a few weekends ago a whole bunch of MAC networks experienced an intrusion. As MAC gets more of the market, they too, will experience more of these issues. We can hope Apple has done a better job of construction on their OS, so there are fewer holes for hackers and the like. In truth, only time will tell.
MAC is a great home computer, not so great in business because there are always issues of compatibility, because the business world is so overwhelmingly Microsoft.
Sounds like "Virus Heat" to me.
The only way to be absolutely sure is to wipe the drive (do NOT just do a reinstall - Some malware can protect itself in certain areas of the disk that can't be "formatted clean") and do a fresh install. By wiping the drive, I mean using a debug script or something like killdisk.

|Posted by Cenotaph 1 year, 7 months ago
I posted my previous comment before reading any others. If you don't like certain seasons or story lines, and you don't want the Dexterama to end, READ THE EIGHT BOOKS! The fist season is loosely based on the first book, but the rest is completely different from the books, so there is more awesomeness to be discovered from the source material. check your local library.

|Posted by acraftychic 1 year, 6 months ago
Best series I've ever watched and the acting was simply phenomenal. So sad to see it end but all good things must come to an end right? It was never so farfetched that it was unrealistic and exciting enough to leave you wanting more. There were times when I had to walk away after watching 4 or 5 episodes in a row. Like a good book that you cant put down. While the entire series centered around Dexter and his life, the secondary stories were interwoven in an incredible way. If you can handle a bit of gore, this is a must see for anyone looking for a psychological thriller with TONS of twists and turns. 10/10!

Youbet.com said Dec. 30 it hopes to strike a deal with Magna Entertainment Corp. to offer wagering on all the company's racetracks.MEC on Dec. 26 issued restrictions on all account-wagering providers that prevent them from taking bets on races at company-owned tracks. Youbet.com did receive permission to offer wagering on MEC's two California tracks: Golden Gate Fields and Santa Anita Park.Youbet.com has an agreement to carry MEC's California signals, including Bay Meadows, for 2004. MEC will not accept bets from Youbet.com customers at its other tracks in the United States.Youbet.com chief executive officer Charles Champion said the company hopes to work with MEC to reach agreements that would give Youbet.com customers access to all MEC tracks.Champion said his company's customers tend to value content frequency as much as- or more than content breadth, and Youbet customers will have the best content options in the business despite Magna's decision."As a result, many of our customers may simply choose other tracks to wager on rather than log off Youbet to go to track-specific sites," Champion said.One of the signals not available through Youbet.com is Gulfstream Park, which is owned by MEC. That signal is available through Xpressbet, MEC's account-wagering arm. Some account-betting companies such as a AmericaTab aren't allowed to take wagers on any MEC tracks.

Alliance Announces Sustainable Wire, Cable Practices
The Electric Utility Industry Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance has released a new collection of voluntary sustainability standards in the areas of wire and cable.
One of the standards, the Cut to Length Program, is designed to ensure that utilities measure how much is needed before placing an order so that they then purchase only the required cable. This reduces extra cable at the end of a reel that would typically become scrap.
In addition to reducing waste, this provides benefits such as savings as a result of less cable used per job, low burden rate reduction in costs due to jobsite delivery rather than through inventory, improved total surplus material value, reduced freight costs resulting from less reel touches, less double handling in the distribution centers, reduced scrap and freight cost through jobsite delivery, increased reel turns, and less inventory handling and safety precautions.
The wire and cable ordered by utilities is typically delivered on a wood reel. A second voluntary sustainability standard — the Steel Reel Program — reduces waste by switching from a disposable wood reel to a reusable steel reel.
This program increases the average monthly reel credit, increases reel reuse through utility owned steel reels, and reduces wood reel scrap and handling.

The invention relates to a cathode-ray tube comprising, in an evacuated glass envelope, an elecron gun to generate an electron beam directed onto, a target the electron gun being comprised at least of a cathode which is centered substantially around an axis and has an emissive surface of which is substantially normal to the axis, a first grid and a second grid, the first grid in cooperation with the cathode and the second grid forming non-rotationally symmetrical electron lenses.
Such a cathode-ray tube may be used for displaying television pictures or in an oscilloscope. In that case the target is a display screen having a phosphor layer or a patern of phosphors luminescing in different colours. Such a cathode-ray tube may also be used for recording television pictures. In that case the target usually is a photoconductive layer. In all such applications it is desired to have a spot of certain dimensions and without a surrounding haze.
Such a cathode-ray tube is disclosed in published Netherlands Patent Application No. 6,717,636. The first grid of the electron gun of the cathode-ray tube described in application is provided with an angular or elliptical aperture which, in cooperation with the cathode and the second grid forms the non-rotationally symmetrical electron lenses to compensate for the astigmatism which arises from a quadrupole lens used for deflection amplification. Such an elongate aperture, however, does not result in strong focusing of the electron beam in two mutually perpendicular directions.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a cathode-ray tube with a first grid which makes it possible to strongly focus the beam in two mutually perpendicular directions. Another object of the invention is to provide a cathode-ray tube in which the electron spot is of good quality, that is, a spot having the desired shape and without a surrounding haze.
According to the invention, the cathode-ray tube of the kind mentioned in the first paragraph is provided with a first grid or electrode which in cooperation with the cathode forms a first multipole electron lens which is mainly a quadrupole lens, and, in cooperation with the second grid or electrode, forms a second multipole electron lens which is also mainly a quadrupole lens and which is rotated 90° with respect to the first quadrupole lens.
Two quadrupole lenses rotated 90° with respect to each other can be obtained in several ways. In a first preferred embodiment, the two quadrupole lenses rotated 90° with respect to each other are formed by the provision of an aperture in the first grid having an opening of elongate cross-section both on the side of the cathode and on the side of the second grid. The longitudinal axis of the elongated opening of the aperture on the side of the cathode is normal to the longitudinal axis of the elongated aperture opening on the side of the second grid. By providing such an aperture in an electrode, in an accelerating electric field, a multipole lens is formed which is mainly a quadrupole lens. A first grid of this construction, thus, produces a guadrupole lens on each side of the grid, the two quadrupole lenses being rotated 90° with respect to each other. The depth and the dimensions of the aperture openings in the first grid, the distances to the cathode and the second grid and the potentials on the electrodes determine the strength of the quadrupole lenses. It will be obvious that many desired target shapes can be obtained which are necessary to many types of pick-up and display tubes by variations in the dimensions and depth of the aperture openings.
Colour display tubes generally use three electron guns situated beside each other or arranged in a triangle. These electron guns may have one or more electrodes in common. A gun having a common electrode is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,772,554. The invention described hereinafter may also be used in such a gun system.
Moreover, in colour display tubes deflection defocusing often occurs. This is an astigmatic effect on the beam produced by the deflection field. Deflection defocusing results in a serious spot deformation at the edge of the display screen. The astigmatic influence is mainly due to a quadrupole field generated by the deflection coils. The two quadrupole fields produced by the first grid of the invention to a considerable extent compensate for deflection defocusing.
By using a cathode ray tube made in accordance with the invention it is possible to influence the electron beam in a manner such that a spot of very good quality is obained, that is the spot on the display screen is substantially without a surrounding haze and has the desired shape.
It is possible to provide the two elongate mutually perpendicular openings of the aperture in the first grid by means of known methods, for example, by etching or spark erosion. It is also possible to do this by providing elongate recesses in the grid and to connect them together, for example, by drilling.
In a embodiment, the first grid has two, at least partly plate-shaped, parts which are secured together, electrically connected and are provided with mutually perpendicular elongate apertures.
In a third embodiment, the first grid is formed by three, at least partly plate-shaped parts, which are secured together and are electrically connected. The plate-shaped parts disposed on the cathode side and on the side of the second grid are provided with mutually perpendicular elongate apertures and the intermediate part is provided with an aperture having a smallest dimension which exceeds the largest dimension of the elongate apertures.
In a fourth embodiment, the first grid comprises a partly plate-shaped part with a groove on each side, the two grooves extending in mutually perpendicular directions. The depth of the grooves is such that an aperture is formed at the area where the two grooves cross. The grooves may be V or U-shaped.
In a fifth very simple embodiment, the first grid has a portion extending at right angles to the axis which is provided with an aperture centered about the axis and at least one diametrically extending pleat. Since the pleat, viewed from one side, is convex and is concave from the other side, quadrupole lenses rotated 90° with respect to each other are obtained in cooperation with the cathode and the second grid.
A sixth very simple embodiment with a stronger lens system than in the preceding embodiment is obtained by providing a portion of the first grid with two diametrically pleats one of which is concave and the other is convex, the pleats extending in mutually perpendicular directions.
It will be obvious that the two mutually perpendicular openings of the aperture in the first grid can be obtained in many other ways or by or combinations of the methods described above.
The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the drawings, in which
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a cathode-ray tube according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a triangular electron gun for a cathode-ray tube according to the invention,
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of one of the three guns shown in FIG. 2,
FIGS. 4 and 5 are sectional views of FIG. 3,
FIGS. 6 to 12 and FIGS. 15 and 16 are a number of sectional views of preferred embodiments of a first grid,
FIGS. 13 and 14 illustrate the focusing influences of the first grid according to the invention, and
FIGS. 17 and 18 show a spot with and without a haze, respectively.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic sectional view of a cathode-ray tube according to the invention, in this case a colour display tube of the in-line type. The tube includes a glass envelope 1 having of a display window 2, a funnel-shaped part 3 and a neck. Mounted in the neck are three electron guns 5, 6 and 7 which generate the electron beams 8, 9 and 10, respectively. The axis of the electron guns are situated in one plane, the plane of the drawing. The axis of the central electron gun 6 coincides substantially with the tube axis 11. The three electron guns debouch into a sleeve 16 which is situated coaxially in the neck 4. The inside surface of the display window 2 is provided with a large number of triplets of phosphor lines. Each triplet has a green-luminescing phosphor, line blue-luminescing phosphor line and a red-luminescing phosphor line. All triplets together constitute the display screen 12. The phosphor lines are normal to the plane of the drawing. Positioned in front of the display screen is the shadow mask 13 which is provided with a very large number of elongate apertures 14 through which pass the electron beams 8, 9 and 10. The electron beams are deflected in the horizontal direction (in the plane of the drawing) and in the vertical direction (normal thereto) by the deflection coil system 15. The three electron guns are positioned so that their axes enclose a small angle with each other. As a result of this, the electron beams pass through the apertures 14 at that angle, the so-called colour selection angle, and each impinges only on phosphor lines of one colour.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the three electron guns 5, 6 and 7. The electrodes of the threefold electron gun system are positioned with respect to each other by means of the metal strips 17 which are sealed in the glass assembly rods 18. Each gun comprises a cathode (not visible), a first grid 21, a second grid 22 and grids 23 and 24.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of one of the guns shown in FIG. 2. The gun includes the first electrode or grid 21 and a rapidly heating cathode 19. A coiled heating filament 28 is situated in the cathode shaft 29 which, opposite the aperture 34, is provided with an emissive surface consisting of a barium-strontium oxide layer. The cathode shaft is secured to the support cylinder 33 by means of three thin metal strips 30. The support cylinder 33 is supported in the first grid 21 by means of glass 31 provided in a metal ring 72. The support rods 32 for connecting the filament in the cathode are also sealed in the glass 31.
The first grid 21 has an aperture 34 which is provided in the electrode by an etching process.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of FIG. 3 taken along lines IV--IV. As shown in FIG. 4, the surface 36 of the first grid has an aperture opening 37 of elongated cross-section formed by etching an elongated cavity in the material of the electrode.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of FIG. 3 taken along lines V--V. As shown in FIG. 5 surface 35 of the first grid also has an aperture 34 also with an opening of elongated cross-section. The long axis of the aperture opening in surface 35, however, is normal to the long axis of the elongate aperture opening in the surface 36. This part of the aperture is also formed by etching an elongate cavity 37 in the material of the first grid. The cavities have been etched to such a depth that aperture 34 is obtained. It will be obvious that, if one cavity is made deeper, the other one will be shallower. In this way the strength ratio of the two quadrupoles can be varied and be adapted to the remainder of the system of lenses.
Compared to known tubes with a first grid having an elongate aperture, the first grid according to the invention uses a smaller region of the emissive cathode surface which is approximately equal to the occupied region in a first grid having a circular aperture, while nevertheless the favourable focusing properties of the elongate aperture are maintained.
FIG. 6 shows one embodiment of the first grid used in the cathode-ray tube according to the invention which can be made in a simple manner. In this case the first grid includes of a plate-shaped part 38 having a rectangular aperture 39, as shown in FIG. 7, and of a plate-shaped part 40 which is placed against it and also has a rectangular aperture 42, as shown in FIG. 8. The longitudinal directions of the apertures 41 and 39 are normal to each other and thus form the first grid used in the cathode-ray tube according to the invention.
FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of the first grid which comprises two plate-shaped parts 42 and 46 having therein two mutually, elongate apertures 43 and 47. Positioned between the two plate-shaped parts 42 and 46 is a plate 44 having an aperture 45 which has a dimension exceeding the largest diameter of the elongate apertures.
FIG. 10 is a sectional view of FIG. 9 viewed against the part 46 and aperture 47.
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the first grid. In this embodiment two mutually perpendicular V or U-shaped grooves 49 and 50 are milled in a metal plate 48 to a depth such that aperture 51 is obtained.
FIG. 12 is also a perspective view of a first grid for a cathode-ray tube according to the invention. The grid comprises a plate 52 having a circular aperture 53. Secured to each side of the plate are two parallel metal strips 54, 55, and 56 57 respectively. The strips 54 and 55 extend at right angles to the strips 56 and 57. The quadrupole lens action of the first grid constructed in this manner is less strong than the quadrupole action of the first grid shown in FIG. 9 under comparable operating conditions.
FIG. 13 shows half of the potential field in the Y-Z plane paths of the electrons leaving the cathode without initial speed in a cathode-ray tube according to the invention. This is in a plane through the tube axis (z-direction) and the longitudinal direction of a first part of an aperture (Y-direction) in the first grid.
In FIG. 14 this is done analogously in the X-Z plane. This is a plane through the tube axis (Z-direction) and the longitudinal direction of the second grid of the aperture (X-direction) in the first grid, which longitudinal direction is at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the first part of the aperture. The electrons leave the cathode surface 57 and pass through the first grid 58 and the second grid 59 along the paths 60. In this case the cathode potential is 30 V, the first grid 58 has a potential of 0 V and the second grid 59 has a potential of 771 V. The potentials of the field are denoted in Volts for the potential lines 61. The distances in the X, Y and Z-directions are denoted in mm. The electron paths and field lines after the second grid 59 are also indicated.
By varying the depth 62 and 63 of the parts of the apertures in the first grid, another focusing is obtained and cross-overs 64 are formed in quide different locations.
FIG. 15 shows a very simple embodiment of a first grid used in the cathode-ray tube according to the invention. The first grid in this case comprises a plate-shaped part 65 which extends at right angles to the axis and has a central aperture 66 for passing the electron beam. As a result of the diametrically extending pleat 67 a double quadrupole lens according to the invention is obtained. Since the pleat is convex on one side and concave on the other side, two quadrupole lenses rotated 90° with respect to each other are produced. In this case the depth of the pleat was 0.2 mm and its width was approximately equal to the diameter of the aperture. The depth may be varied in accordance with the desired lens action.
FIG. 16 shows a second very simple embodiment. The first grid in this case comprises a plate-shaped part 68 which extends at right angles to the tube axis and has a central aperture 69 for passing the electron beam. As a result of the two diametrically extending pleats 70 and 71 a double quadrupole lens according to the invention is also produced. Since the lens actions of the two pleats amplify each other, two quadrupole lenses which are rotated with respect to each other are also formed of a strength larger than the lens strength of the lenses shown in FIG. 15. The depth of the pleats 70 and 71 need not be equal. The shape of the apertures 69 and 66 may also be varied so as to influence the shape of the beam.
FIG. 17 shows an electron beam spot 73 on a display screen, generated by an electron gun without having a first grid capable of providing a double quadrupole lens.
FIG. 18 shows an electron beam spot 75 generated in a cathode ray tube made in accordance with the invention. The haze 76 is negligible and hardly annoying.

Deputy Jacob Calvin remembered as happy, caring servant
Hundreds fill gym for funeral
FLORA, Ind. - Hundreds of police officers filled much of a high school gymnasium for the funeral of a central Indiana sheriff's deputy who died when his patrol car rolled over on his way to a crash scene.
Those officers walked past the flag-draped coffin of Tipton County Deputy Jacob Calvin as his funeral began Monday at Carroll High School in Flora.
Calvin, 31, was a 2001 graduate of Carroll High School and was a Tipton County deputy for 2-1/2 years.
Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter told mourners that Calvin exemplified the spirit of service and commitment.
Mourners described Calvin as always smiling, always caring about those around him.
Friends and family members said they prefer everyone celebrate Calvin's life and remember that he lived life by doing what he loved.
Police said Calvin lost control of his patrol car June 28 on a rural road in Tipton County and wasn't wearing a seatbelt as he was ejected from the car when it rolled several times.

How Dapper is Drake?
Yes, I know you're sick of hearing about Ubuntu. Ubuntu this, Ubuntu that, everyone must love Ubuntu or else. Don't run away screaming just yet, because there are good reasons for all the Ubuntu buzz.
The first one is they have an excellent and productive PR machine. This is a good thing, and there is no reason other Linuxes cannot follow suit. Don't whine about Ubuntu getting all the attention, because anyone can email or phone some journalists and get something going.
The second reason is they are doing a lot of interesting and inventive things:
*LiveCD with one-button hard disk installer
*Nicely customized, single-CD installation
*Large friendly user community
*Up-to-date packages
*Shiny new server distribution
*Shiny new release for UltraSPARC
*Officially certified for DB2 and MySQL
The current release, Dapper Drake, is called Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, for "Long-Term Support." This means it will receive security updates for five years. (Canonical Ltd., Ubuntu's parent company, and its partners also offer paid commercial support.) With this release Canonical introduces its first separate server edition.
