  3. iwas taught that to control cookies for your benifit you need to go to IE tools -internet options -privacy tab -advanced -check overide cookie handling -check prompt in first party cookies --block in third party cookies -check session cookies.then when a site wants to place a cookie on your sys you can accept or rejest it this way there is less chance of spy ware being depoited and a virus on your sys ive had these settings for 3-4 years and i dont have the troubles i see a lot of posters post here for. pete_.c and chappyfrd taught me that some time ago

    %$*&@ Pop Ups

    have you thought about setting your cookies to prompt and block. try this. open internet options tools privacy tab- advanced check override cookie handling first party cookies check prompt third party cookies check block. check allow session cookies . these are my settings and i dont have popups. if a site wants to place a cookie on your sys it will prompt you so you have the option to allow it or not that way you can keep the popups down to a minimum. hey i just posted this some where else. OR may be you are having trouble with messenger that creates popups
  13. recently i posted about not being able to install win98 and that the sys wasnt recognising the drive.and it wasnt bringing up the driver.for the cd rom well i have egg on my face.and it is very embarrassing.the connection from the cd rom wasnt plugged in to the mother board. and the reason im posting this is to appoligise to the posters who tried to help. the friend who i tried to help must have disconnected it and didnt tell me tho i should have known.the signs were there. ive thought about it all day.any one else had mistakes like this thanks to all who posted
  14. is this appli on sp2 as well. i have sp2 now and when it scanned my sys it recognise my avg scanner.but i didnt refer o the one you mentioned.i might google it thanks marty
  15. its great how people have thier dislikes and favourites ,when dealing . virus scanners.how does the poster know if avg is ok or not if he hasent tried it is it because it is free.there seems to be a conception if it is free it is no good. well i was a member of the techtv board for some years and over 60 percent were using avg.it is equal to any paid one.i treid avast but it kept taking a dll file out i like it but i couldnt fix the dll file problem.so i went back to avg. and it is as good as any. the poster needs to read the board to see how many use avg and not speculate
