Subject: Re: Free Spyware Program Maybe
I always go here to check on these programs
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#products
I am running it at the moment it does not appear very slow - 26
minutes and has completed the memory checks, the registry and 20,000
files, flnding 13 tracking cookies. I suppose its the number of files
on your system that is the determining factor as to its worth. It
appears to scan approximately a 1000 files per minute on my system.
I suppose if I have about 200,000 files I wont use it very much.
I have lots of free anti - spyware programs - shame none of them are
perfected to the same standard of anti-virus programs.
Regards
Paris

Subject: Links won't work from Outlook
Since I got the newest Symantec anti virus on my computer I can no longer
click links from Outlook. I get a message saying that the operation is
cancelled on this computer. I can do everything from the browser, Google
and Microsoft and even from Earthlink but not from e-mail. Can't seem to
find where the problem is but I'm not very computer literate. Any help
would be appreciated. Running XP home edition on a Dell 4400 desktop with 1
gig of ram. Thanks. John

casper,
Jim, now you can try re-enabling the startup items one at a time to know
which one is the culprit.
No, they are all still there. I did not remove them from startup, just
closed them down. When I rebooted with the same items the internet was
still
back. Very strange.

Jim, this is Windows we are talking about...hehe. Stranger things have
happened. You probably just reset one of the Startup apps and it or
Windows corrected itself.

But it took over a week for the correction to occur and it seemed to have
happened only after I cleared the existing starup files without removing
them from starup.

Did you make Outlook your default email application and IE your default

Subject: Re: Security on MSN messenger.
Number #1: Talk to your son. Explain to him the dangers of infecting your
computer with spyware and viruses from complete strangers, the ones he has
never met in person. Also tell him about online sex predators. Explain to
him that if the machine get infected, he will not be able to go online so
he will suffer too.
Number #2: Create a Limited User account for him. By default, he won't be
able to install anything (which includes accidental installation of spyware
and viruses).

Hello everybody,
Using a P4 200, 512MB RAM, WinXP Pro SP2 and MSN Messenger (7.5.0299)
For security against malaware I use Avast 4.7 Home, Spybot S&D 1.4,
Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06r1, SpywareBlaster 3.5.1, A-squared 1.6.5 and
Bazooka Scanner 1.13.03. My last chore before shutting down the machine at
night is to update "all" these programmes on a daily basis. I update Avast
as soon as I connect to the net and before opening any programme. The
machine is used personally at home and not connected to any other machine.
Like a lot of other parents, I am now faced with my pre-teens son wanting
to chat using MSN Messenger courtesy natural curiousity and peer pressure!
:-)
Since I have never used MSN Messenger, this is to request for help as to
what settings should be made on this programme in order to totally
maximize security against malaware during the chat sessions.
Many thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Ricky.

Google doesn't make a web browser. It might be your "home page" in
your browser -- but what is your browser?
Is your default web browser Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, or Netscape?
If you are running XP SP2 and Outlook 2003 Service Pack 2, you have
to change some settings. Here's a description on my web site:
http://www.terryscomputertips.com/computers/turn-on-email-links-in-outlook-2003.php
The problem is that in Outlook 2003's SP2, Microsoft installed some
anti-phishing protection in a very heavy-handed manner.
