You've got a long three day weekend, plenty of time to kick back, bar-b-que & enjoy family time. But this Memorial Day Weekend, you should at least spend one day just getting dirty, wet & muddy. Brick's Off Road Park is open this Saturday, Sunday & Monday for a great time. Great trails and plenty of mud and lots of new friends await you at Brick's, the premier off road park in Southeast Missouri. And, even if you don't have an ATV or 4x4 vehicle, you can still enjoy watching these people do crazy things on motorized toys!

The office of semo.net will be closed Monday, May 25th in observance of Memorial Day. We will resume normal business hours on Tuesday, May 26th.

There's a new piece of malware (defined in Wikipedia as a portmanteau from the words malicious and software, is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent.) out there that poses as a friendly site, but in reality, it will attack your PC.

It also prevents you from making changes in the registry itself, and can even redirect you to more bad sites on the internet. Semo.net's repair team can fix this for you, and make sure your PC leaves protected and updated with the latest security fixes.

Late this year, Microsoft will release its next version of operating system labeled "Windows 7." To get ready for the move, I've been testing Windows 7.0 for over a month now. I'm biased about the Windows product because I started with Windows 1.0 in 1986.
