Subject: free anti spyware + malware
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/

This setup contains the free as well as the paid version of AVG Anti-Spyware. After the installation, a free 30-day trial version containing all the extensions of the full version will be activated. At the end of the trial, these extensions will be deactivated and the program will turn into a feature-limited freeware version. The purchased license code can be entered at any time.

(just incase anyone needs to get rid of the drive cleaner pop up ect)

rod03801: Do you actually mean the messenger as in the one you can send messages to other people with ?



If so click start then control panel ,then open the icon for add and remove programs when that opens on the left hand side look for add or remove windows components ,when that opens scroll down untill you see windows messenger and take the tick out , then it wont start up .

rod03801: certain sites that you go on (ones for serial codes ect) will intall a bit of software on your machine they do not normally damage your machine but they do your head in when they keep poping up in the little balloons every 10 seconds or so , i tried all sorts to get rid , in the end i bought some antivirus protection and that sorted it out easily .

MagicDragon: IF you are going on to dial up you will need an internal modem (you should have one already on your machine as standard ) should be no reason to delete or format anything on your machine . when you get your dial up connection xp will most likely find everything required .

TeamBundy: I had the same problem with one of my pc's a few years ago , i tried everything to cure it , when we left dial up and joined broadband the freezing stopped and still has no problems to this day , if i went back to dial up im sure it would start playing up again . Not sure if you are on broadband or dial up though .

anastasia: nero should give you some options/warnings that sould have made the correct copy for all types of differnt players and not just for the pc, i cant check now as im working from my laptop for a while ,
make sure you can play copies on your dvd player too as some wont play certain brands.

If its an old hotmail account that would work but new hotmail accounts made in the last 18 months (approx) wont support outlook unless its an upgraded account .

I had the same problem a few months ago it damaged my hard drive (2 of them) i have found out since that it was overheating , but even after cleaning all the dirt/dust off the prosessor (sp) it has damaged my pc so i need to replace the motherboard now also a new hard drive. so cleaning is always a good idea every so often

Czuch Chuckers: you can put any music that you have on cd to your samsung digital audio player ,but to save on space converting them to mp3 or some other format will allow you to hold much more tracks. i think the latest windows audio player can do this for you which is free .

mrloupcity: depending on your cable provider you will need to give them the mac adress for that pc , some providers like mine now do it automatically to reconise any new pc's connected to thier network

Subject: ok im thinking of using
gprs to connect a laptop so i can use it at work to play on here ect , as gprs charges for the amount you download ( £3 for one megabyte )
how much would it take to download these pages or put better how many moves could i take to use a one megabyte amount . i havent a clue , just trying to work out if it would be too expensive to use

can i take google of my main page ?
i havent seen an option anywhere to remove /disable it .

I think just visiting certain webpages can do it , but i think you may have to download something from the page to get it into your system but im not sure if you can get then by just clicking something simple like "CLICK HERE TO MAKE THIS YOUR HOMEPAGE ECT" but someone else here might know alittle more about how easy or hard it is to avoid getting it on your system

Subject: Re:
harley: I would use some software to get rid of this as soon as possible because who ever wrote it could be collecting personal details such as passwords and bank details ,some web pages have these keyloggers built into the webpage , so all antivirus ect should be kept upto date , but there are estimated one-to-two new variants and 10 to 15 websites per week which makes it hard to be 100 percent safe i think.

Subject: i couldnt remember so just checked myself
To show your most recently used documents on the Start menu
Right-click the Start button, and then click Properties.
On the Start Menu tab, click Start menu, and then click Customize.
On the Advanced tab, select the List my most recently opened documents check box.
The next time you click Start, the My Recent Documents folder is on the Start menu. This folder contains the documents and files you opened recently.

Note

On the Advanced tab, click Clear List to empty the My Recent Documents folder. This does not delete the documents from the computer.

or if you are only wanting to test the laptop out why not just put the cable straight into your laptop instead of your pc

28. December 2004, 16:11:37
Jason 
yes a usb link cable should do just fine ,do a search for connecting pcs together , for the settings you need ,which you will need to do to both pc and laptop

28. December 2004, 12:43:48
Jason 
yes and the prices have dropped alot in the last 18 months too

28. December 2004, 12:39:45

we have 3 pc;s connected all the time and if i borrow a laptop or want to test another pc out i just plug it in (blueyonder now reconises new equipment added so no set up required) not sure about other network providers though . ,you can either do it through a router or with a link cable from your main machine ,but with a link cable you need to have the other pc switched on also .
