My bad for not seeing this sooner. ITR, I'll be glad to add that to my list. If you want more added, please feel free to PM me. I don't mind the mail.

You can add Avast! to the list. You no longer get viruses when you download their software, and from my experience it works. http://www.avast.com/ The download link - http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html - and the home edition is free.

emad's not adding to his list anymore, and to help you out, mine's already had it for a long time. You might want to look at it. *points to signature*

um.......just a quick question, I thought it would be better to ask here then start a new thread......
When internet explorer does not have the correct language or symbol pack installed fonts can come up as squares, question marks and other random stuff...
the question is, I dont remeber how to download or get the symbol packs.....language packs are no problem because you are prompted to install but there are STAR symbols on a certian webpage and they just come up as squares..... On my old computer I probably installed so much random stuff that it worked but on my new one I dont remember how to do it......can someone help?

You are looking for fonts that would fit your problem. My best solution is to find out what fonts they are (really a pain in the butt, you have to look at the page's "Source"), and download them. If you can find a fontpack covering all online fonts, then more power to ya'.

Also, the link I made to the site is still active, but you can actually update the software through it's internal updating ability. Make sure to check that out.

I've just installed ToniArts EasyCleaner and cleaned the registry. My system is starting up a bit faster, I think. But programs are still starting up at the same speed as before. It might be just a lack of memory, since I have Norton Antivirus and Microsoft Antispyware working at the same time all the time. (As I was typing this post (I'm using Firefox 1.5) I checked memory usage in the task manager. There is less than 60,000 kilobits of memory compared to 260,000 total. When the system is running on idle, there may be 130,000k of memory available.) I tried using duplicate files, but the amount of files made it somewhat daunting to go ahead with. So I stopped prematurely. I then tried using unnecessary files, but EasyCleaner crashed. I know if I do something stupid I can undo it, but I'm still a bit weary of deleting duplicate and unnecessary files.

Microsoft's AntiSpyware isn't all that great of a Spyware Utensil. It's lacking in diversity when it comes to known spyware programs. Try picking up Ad-Aware or Pest Patrol.
PS. You could just post a new thread on these issues.

If you have Firefox, I would reccomend getting the Adblock and NoScript extensions, as they will stop 100% of popups when used together. NoScript is particularly useful, as you need to allow scripts on a page before any can run.

I was wondering, how do you edit/add the service information into the system properties on Win98 and XP? I am building a couple of computers, and I want to put my details in, but I can't remember which registry entry to change.

Whatchoo talkin 'bout Willis?
The most memory-consuming program I am running on my desktop right now is FireFox, and that is only 60K.
Explorer.exe should only run at around 16K.
Sounds like you have some spyware.

I heard that AVG was dropping free support for AVG sometime in January 2007. Don't know if they did. I use Avast, works great.
You have to register and they send an email with a key. Pretty cool.

All of this is confusing to me! ahh... Anyway i actually managed tm make windows xp ghetto by messing with the .dll files a bit. The funny thing is that even though i am at my computer which is completely capable of internet conection, i am using my new cell to type this.

I use AVG all the time. It's just as good as Norton and them and it's free!

Hey thanks for the post, Ive been using one which looks exactly like the real one but this one (apparently) is actually the real MS deal rewritten to run under xp. Will try it out.
