  1. Had an updated spoofstick prompt in firefox, downloaded it....where did it go??? I looked at the extentions I have and it is there, but not showing up at the top of the screen?? Anybody have this problem????
  2. Think I almost figured it out. I created a restore point before downloading 11 critical updates...Restored and the problem went away. I am going to download them one at a time to find out which one is the culprit and then see if there has been problems or a fix that one...It's getting bad when you can't trust critical updates put out by your OS. OOps ..just made myself laugh...
  3. I AM a Firefox user..but have to use IE for certain sites. I had a problem that started about a week or so ago. Everytime I start IE and during any session with it...the window to work off-line always comes up. I go to File (on tool bar) and work off-line is checked. (like a default). Tried all scanners in safe mode etc.. I didn't download anything or do anything with settings. It just started one day. I restored to a few days before and it was gone....Haven't seen it until this morning. Doing my normal scanning and stuff last night. Thought I should check for Windows updates and there were

  7. Signed, stamped and in the mail....
  8. Thanks for the link handplane!! Looks like you can export from some other programs, but not from you web based mail... I better get typing!!!!
  9. Hi all!! Is there any easy way to transfer your address book from the web based mail to Thunderbird without having to put them in individually? Not that lazy, but have thunderbird on a few computers and it's a pain.
  10. Go to Windows Explorer...(Not Internet explorer- the big blue E) It's probably not a shortcut for you...Sould be under start >programs>Windows explorer. This brings up all the files on your hard drive....Double Click on C: (drive) scroll down to Windows and double click that....look for the System 32 folder..double click on that..and then look for the drivers folder..double click on that and you are in that folder...Hope this was what you were asking for ......
  11. I have to have Norton on my work PC...HATE IT!! AVG at home....had Avast also...no problems with either.
  12. 1. Giant Robot 2. Chicken soup or vegetable
  13. My little girls name is Michelle...love that name...Actually she's 14 now...but still my little girl....only thing is it doesn't really go with Ann...or does it??? I love Jacob for a boy..and my second choice for a boy would be Joshua... I can see by your baby site that you are enjoying every moment of the whole experience..You are going to be an awesome dad!!!Keep the updates coming..(only one non-joy is the lamasse(sp) classes...) But when I was there to see my baby born and see her first breath and cry was the most incredible moment of my life!!! Couldn't cut the chord tho...doctor said it

    About U?

    Welcome Deb and Jason!!! This is a great place to spend your time..the people here are great!!
  15. To add to JSKY..My SP2 install went fine...But I did notice that my hard drive needed a serious defrag...I defragged before..so I know that this happened when I downloaded SP2. Actually I ran defrag at least 3 times to get it to look OK...
  16. I agree totally with Nerelda. He was asking for technical help and enough replies were made about the differences between learning about how hacking works, not for malicious purposes. Not a good way to welcome someone here....As Nerelda said ..there are plenty of underground sites he could have gone to if he was planning evil.... And calling someone a mongrel is just the flicker to a flame.....not nice.....maybe you need some time away.....
  17. Welcome to the boards Peter....great place to hang out!!
  18. Marty, In the other thread that Majorgeek linked to was a reference to spoofstick. This an excellent program and shows you what site you are on just in case you go to a site that routes you to another site...It's free and definately worth having!!! If you decide to use it...don't freak when the fonts come up huge..You can change that..... Thanks majorgeek for checking this out also!! I know many many people use that site to download...
  19. Showoff!!!LOL Auriga....definately follow B's post before mine!!!! He is one of the experts I mentioned before!!!
  20. Happy Birtyhday to you both!!! Best Wishes
  21. My advice is to get a squared and spyware blaster...Spyware blaster works with Spybot Search and destroy...just google them or go to the pinned topics for spyware tools.. Make sure they are all updated...AVG just had an update today when I checked...Disable system restore......boot in safe mode and run all scanners...(spyware blaster just gets updated..you don't run that one) reboot and then enable system restore. I'm HIGHLY suggesting the other scanners....There are also many great online scanners..let me know if you need them...good luck.....Not sure about the corrupted file...have to leav
  22. you should also disable system restore..and as stated..more specs would be helpful Thanks screi......should have remembered that very important step...
