 | This would be better posted in the Internet Explorer Forum of this website. :) From what I have read on here, lots of people are having problems with their hotmail accounts as far as logging in and such. I know hotmail has been doing some changes, because mine has changed, … |
| | I've been having some computer problems. It started a few weeks ago when my monitor would go all crazy and I'd have to manually turn the computer off. It would do that occasionally, and then Monday it wouldn't do anything. When I turn the computer on, it either gives me … |
| | You are only supposed to post hijackthis logs in the Security Forum....there the experts that can help you will take a look at it and let you know if there is anything suspicious in your log and the steps you need to take to fix it. :) |
| | The past couple of days I've been having problems with blank pop-ups on my computer. When I try to use task manager to close them (since right clicking on them won't let me), they keep popping right back up again. Also have had my windows, if I have two or … |
| | It's a good idea to, and to use it regularly. Ever since I have started using Adaware and Spybot on a weekly basis, I have had very little problems with spyware on my computer. I also has Spywareblaster installed also. And also be sure to keep each program updated regularly, …  |
| | While you are waiting to hear back from Crunchie or one of the other experts, you might want to update your HijackThis to version 1.98.2. It may pick up some things that the older version didn't that need to be fixed. Post that log, and then I'm sure someone will … |
| | I think my mom has gotten a virus or spyware of some kind on her computer. You know how when you are typing in a web address for a page that you have gone to before, it will automatically pop up after you type in the first couple of letters? … |
| | I am 5'7, and so is my husband. :)  |
| | I don't do a great deal of shopping online, but I do like Amazon. My online shopping experience with them has been great, and I would not hesitate to shop from Amazon again. :)  |

 | In one of his first posts, alc6739 said he wasn't looking to surf porn sites to get infected....any other suggestions you have I'm sure would be appreciated though. |
| | I hope I am posting in the right forum...if not, I apologize ahead of time. I just bought a new computer. My old computer did not have a cd burner on it, just your normal cd-rom drive and what I call a "floppy drive." The new computer only has the … |

| | I have been gone a few days and just read this thread this morning. I don't hang out in that particular forum where this all started, so at first I was just going to keep my thoughts to myself. But after reading Dani's post where she quoted Narue on her …  |
| | Hi. My neighbor just bought a computer from a coworker. It is a 2000 Gateway, that just last year had an upgrade to Windows XP Professional. She wanted to get dialup internet for now, so I called for her to get things set up. We found out by going into … |
| | Re: MP3 Problems Hey ashagirl....be sure to start your own thread instead of asking your question in another person's thread. :) That way, you will get the help you're seeking faster than by posting in someone else's thread, no matter how similar the problem is. Someone will help you out as soon as …  |
| | My brother got a Dell probably a little over a year ago and has had problems with it also. I was on the verge of getting a Dell laptop but his problems convinced me otherwise. So I would agree with the others....might want to go with something besides a Dell. … |
| | My brother asked me, and I had no idea, so I thought I would ask you guys and see if you could tell me....what is a "pup?" He said he got a message from his antivirus saying a pup had been detected and could not be deleted. If this is … |
| | Unless someone moves it, you are going to want to post your log in the Viruses/Spyware forum. This forum is for community introductions, and is less likely to get the attention it deserves. :) |
| | |
| | Hi. If you haven't already done so, post your hijackthis log in the Viruses and Spyware forum. This forum is for introductions only, and you are less likely to get the help you need here. Good luck! :) |
| | While you're waiting to hear from Crunchie or one of the other experts, you could update HijackThis to the newest version, which is 1.98.2. Scan and then post that log. There is a possibility that it could pick up something that the version you are running might not. :) |
| | Congratulations to your cousin and his wife, and your whole family. I am very close to my family too, and I know how special it is when there's a new baby born into the family. :) I have a cousin who is expecting her second child in December, so we're … |
| | Re: My dog... Send him this way....we have a crazy squirrel here that is way too aggressive and chases my son and new puppy....he can take this one out too if he wants....LOL!! :) |
| | If you haven't done so already, scan with Adaware and Spybot and let them fix what they find. You might also want to download HijackThis, make sure it is updated to the newest version which is 1.98.2, and scan and post the results of the log here. Don't attempt to … |
| | Hi. This forum is for introductions only. If you haven't already done so, take a look at this thread, and go from there. Good luck! [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/announcement165-44.html[/url] |
| | Hi and welcome to Daniweb. Take a look at this announcement, and maybe that will get you started on finding the best place to place your question, as this forum is for introductions only. Good luck! [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/announcement165-44.html[/url] |
| | Hi unabobber...you should start your own thread whenever you have a problem, no matter how similar the problems may seem. "Piggybacking" threads isn't allowed, because not only does it take away from the originial poster's question, but you also do not get the attention you need for your problem, and …  |
| | Hi and welcome to Daniweb! :) If you haven't done so already, take a look at this thread: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/announcement165-44.html[/url] That should get you started on the right path to getting help with your problem if you haven't already. Good luck! :) |
| | To me it seems pretty simple...there is absolutely no need for name calling. While some people may not mind being called a "bozo" or an "idiot", others, myself being included, would certainly take offense to being called that or anything else that is demeaning. I don't understand why such a … |
| | You also didn't post your whole hijackthis log....you left off the top part that includes your operating system, what version of hijackthis you are running, etc. |
| | Hi and welcome to Daniweb. :) You could start off by downloading these programs and scanning your computer with them and letting them fix any problems they find: Adaware: [url]http://www.lavasoftusa.com[/url] Spybot Search and Destroy: [url]http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html[/url] After scanning with those two and fixing whatever problems are found, download Hijackthis. Making sure … |
| | Hi tonyb130...you need to start your own thread instead of tagging your question onto someone else's. When you piggback threads, attention is diverted from the original poster's problem, and at the same time you are less likely to get the attention you need and deserve to help you solve your … |
| | I agree with Catweazle. And the way I understood it was if you were not sure where to post, the best place to do it is here in the Geek's Lounge, and then if it has to be moved, someone will do so. :) |
| | The newest version of hijackthis is 1.98.2, so you are still running the older version. Did you try using the update feature within hijackthis? If so and that didn't work, try downloading it from a website. You can try this one: [url]http://www.computercops.biz/zx/merjin/hijackthis.zip[/url] |
| | Hi. :) First, you have HijackThis in a temporary folder. You need to put it in a permanent one, as one of the steps you may need to do will be deleting all of your temp files/folders. If HijackThis is in a temp folder, you will lose it along with … |
| | Your log also shows that you have Kazaa. As long as you use programs of the such, you will continue to have problems. So you might want to get rid of that...just a suggestion. :) |
 | [QUOTE=Catweazle]Simple answer: Be very friendly and helpful to newcomers :) Make people feel welcomed and wanted, and more of them will return, eh? :D[/QUOTE] That is very true...that is what has kept me coming back.:) It's nice to have a place to come to ask a question and not get … |
| | [QUOTE=dlh6213]Since you have dial-up, you may want to order the CD from Microsoft rather than download it.[/QUOTE] That is very true. After I got my computer straightened out last year and I was behind on my updates, it would "freeze" each time I tried to download them. It wasn't actually … |
| | Hi. :) First, you left off the top part of your hijackthis log that states your operating system and what version of hijackthis you are running. Make sure you are using version 1.98.2 and post another log including the top part. Also be sure that all other browser windows are … |
| | Hi. You need to post this question in the Viruses and Spyware Forum. That is where all problems of this nature are answered, and also the only place you should post a hijackthis log. If this isn't moved there before you check back, post a new thread there posting your … |
| | Hi. First off, you didn't post your entire log. You left off the top part that tells what operating system you are using and what version of hijackthis you are running. Make sure you are using version 1.99.0, which is the latest one. Next, you are running hijackthis from a … |
| | Hi. :) You should post your question in the Spyware/Viruses forum, that is where they deal with these types of issues, and its also the only place a hijackthis log should be posted. If your thread isn't moved there, post a new one there again describing your problem, any fixes … |
| | Hi. If you browse around and find the correct forum for whatever the problem is that your sister in law is having, just click on new thread at the top of that forum (just like you did to start this one) and post your question. Simple as that. :) Good … |
 | I've had Norton for almost a year now and have never had anything get through it. Maybe I've just been lucky, but in my opinion Norton is a pretty good AV. :)  |
| | Hi barbarb....this thread is pretty old, so if you are having a similiar problem, you will want to start a new thread explaining your problem, any fixes or scans you have tried or run, and possibly a hijackthis log for someone to take a look at. Make sure you use … |
| | help!!!!!!!: You really should start your own thread and give specific details about what you are experiencing and any error messages you are getting. This thread, particularly the post you are referring to, is a few months old, and you will come closer to getting the attention you need for … |
| | I believe Norton is a matter of preference and opinion. I have had it for over 6 months now and had absolutely no problems with it, nor have I been infected with any viruses. I think if you like Norton and are comfortable with it, keep it. :) |
| | You will want to put hijackthis in a permanent folder, not a temporary one like you have it in now, so it can safely make backups in case you need them. :) |
The End.
