Well, this is off-topic......
I have Kaspersky Pure, as I have had a couple of really nasty viruses (that I got from links here, believe it or not) on CD, as soon as I clicked on the link, Kaspersky detected a threat and shut down the link.
I ran a scan, and the link was identified as having a trojan attached to it.
I am in no way a tech head, but Kaspersky was recommended to to me by an IT friend of many years, and it has always worked.

Yes, off topic for one more second. It's always advisable to do exactly what your s/w tells you to do. Each AV uses different algorithms to detect something that looks like a trojan or suspicious network threat as they have become more sophisticated over time. This is a function of the s/w and for some reason, yours looks at this link as suspicious. I would never advise to ignore this unless you knew 100% that it was a safe link. Obviously, this is a link from another site and therefore you couldn't have 100% certainty based on that alone.

To sum up that document, there's a lot of paperwork/invoice type of documents on it that you would see from a flight and on page 14, it lists the manifest. Under the heading "Senior Staff", the daughters and other people are listed. I would be happy to type in the list of people listed on the manifest if you need.

Really appreciate your advice, I have always trusted Kaspersky and think its well worth the $.
Back to topic, I also appreciate your offer to type the list, but its really not necessary.
Thank you for having the class to pause and help another poster, I admire that.

Apparently you have a rather large taxable income!

If Bush listed those people as 'staff', that would be also be a misuse of taxpayer dollars. Did someone get the manifest on this trip so we can see? At the end of the day, I just hate this assumption that it's okay to waste and misuse our taxpayer dollars as if that is the Washington way and thus okay to do. It's wrong, no matter if a D or R is behind the name to use our taxpayer dollars as a personal vacation allowance.

But were they listed as "staff" on the flight paperwork or guests that he paid for himself ?
You're not even doing a fair comparison here.

I guess no one filed an FOIA request for that trip. If these people were his guests, you can bet your boots they did not pay their own way. What's "unfair" about my comparison? I thought you "R"s didn't like that word, anyway!

What's unfair ? If you cannot show they were all listed as staffers as the Obama kids were then what comparison are you trying to make ?
Your post of names is coming across as "well Bush did it so can Obama".

Oh, boo hoo! I'm not going to file an FOIA on this, as I really don't care. But you can bloviate all you want about how Daddy Bush, Bush's sister, brother and sister-in-law, and a couple of friends all paid their own ways to China, but I highly doubt it.

Yeah but you can't prove it.
There's paperwork showing Obama's kids are "senior staff".

If you really didn't care you wouldn't have bothered looking up that list of Bush relatives..but you did.
