Wondering why My phone has an "Orange Smiley face" on the screen, click on it and a daily summary pops up, try to uninstall it, it's not there, malwarebytes says everything is clean, uninstalled a calculator, and a battery indicator(then I installed a calculator that looks like the stock one, and a new battery indicator, both are liked by Malwarebytes), as I have no idea what is going on, a trojan horse killer found something, uploaded the file, that possibly did the trick, but then I was looking for roots and such, so in 24 hours maybe I will know for sure, if what was bugging My phone, is gone for good or not.

I gots a simple silly Samsung flippy phone.
No bells and whistles...........although it does vibrate whilst ringing...........LOL.
As long as they still have them available, that is all I want from a cell phone.

You call, I can answer. Not text twenty times a day, not a constant stream of information.

It is an extension of my landline, nothing more than that to me. And it could possibly be of use if I ever crash Toothless into a snowbank or such calamity.
It allows me to call Lori on my dinner break from work each day, in case there is something important going on.

Other than that, it remains in my pocket.

My world is a bit more complicated. I have 4 monitors on my desk with 2 computers, smart phone, land line, and tablet all integrated. No Orange Smiley face.

If an orange smiley face ever popped up in my life, if would think terrible things were afoot.
I do not like smiley faces, they are facetious. They are more like a single finger salute.
And those I do respond to, being of that age when they really meant something.
And if you are of my age, you know what they meant at the time.

Aging gracefully?
Not quite so me.
I am fighting it tooth and nail from here to the endpoint.

I have not determined nor decided yet if it that end point shall be a graceful exit or if I decide to prepare and exit like the Vanishing Point ending. Yes, not as fast, but a 1990 Cutlass Ciera will do over 100mph full bore with a 2.5l four banger....close to top end, but achievable. And into a brick wall, a few mph ain't gonna make much difference. I had it to 70 very easily.

I have considered both scenarios, and have not yet decided on my path.

And I know that if I blinked off today, my computers would run for weeks or months until they shut the power down. You would not know of my demise for days or weeks or months. Until somebody finally posted in the missing persons thread.
Lori would be the one, and she knows nothing of the Seti boards.
She would be the one to find my cold dead body. But she is also 60yo, and I may find her's one day.

Rest assured, the kitties, should they be alive on that day, will be my primary consideration, not myself.

If it took her a few days to find you, she might well find that the kitties had started to have you for dinner, since you had so impolitely failed to get up and give them what they were accustomed to having.

"I had it to 70 very easily."

From Barstow to Albuquerque I typically set my cruise control at 80-85. My Ferrari's top end is around 160 but I have had all of my vehicles, including my Ford F350 over 100 on many occasions.

The Orange smiley face or Orange Butterfly was seen on My android phone(same difference).

So I rooted My phone(King root), installed a firewall(Root firewall), have Malwarebytes Anti-malware software scanning the phone, so far so good(Stubborn Trojan Killer), disabled the built in browser from accessing the firewall(though not Chrome).

My 1999 Ford Escort zx2 sport hot coupe will do 105mph, though it's not smooth above 90mph, it's a bit of a bumpy ride above 90, plus the gas gauge sinks very fast, this is from a 2.0L zetec 130hp dohc i4 engine(made by Mazda, as is the suspension, brakes and such, the 15" rims though are I think made by Ford), with the stock computer settings, if I changed the hp to equal the S/R model that has 143hp, I might get some more speed, unknown as to how much of course.

I've gone faster, though I won't say where, 125mph on a 1984 Suzuki GS1150ES, and 135mph in a 2006 Mustang GT that had a bad Master Power Relay(the relay would eat the battery on nights with temps below 32F/0C, this was fixed in the 2007 model supposedly). Suffice it to say the Mustang could have gone much faster, but I was running out of road...
