Bleh, ok I'm so fucking pissed off. For the last week or so I've been scanning my computer with ad-aware about 3 times a day. Each time I come up with close to 30 tracking programs or whatever. And I'm starting to think that I should run a full system scan with Norton cuz I keep getting notifications that I'm sending out emails, and that it gets rejected by the server or whatever.
So this is pissin me off. Is this program or whatever sending out spam or sending my personal info to some place. I heard there was this thing that could jack your computer and make it send spam to others ><.
Anyways, is there some way to turn stop this? I heard that you could disable vb scripts - back in that cupholder thread(open cd-drive) which I can't find ><? And that way you can't get viruses from viewing webpages ><.
I'm starting to think its those fucking domain sellers - buy defunct domains and put up search shit on them. fuck...
Sorry, if I'm coming out as being incoherent. But I'm really fuckin pissed at this shit, its been bothering me for days.

www.mozilla.com Stop using IE. While you're at it, format you computer. Clean is good.
|
will mozilla work like normal IE? Can i still see webpages like normal? =/
|
i dunno what mozilla is, i use IE but i don't get many viruses but i agree with clean is goood

Some things you can do
Download that new spyware detector from Mcafee it automatically detects spyware(i havent tried this one)
Download Free AVG virus detector from http://www.grisoft.com
The manual way of blocking programs from starting up on boot
Click Start --> Click Run --> Type in 'msconfig' and click ok --> Select 'Startup' from the tabs at the top (Not sure on XP)
Now uncheckmark everything that you dont know what is or dont want running this will make you startup faster and usually is what makes popups and other shit on your computer
If you are on 56k this will help your ping greatly :D

ok just got the message.
Symantec Email Proxy
You email message was unable to be sent because your mail server rejected the sender:
503 Error: nested MAIL command.
OOOOOOOO I just got fucking flooded with 5 ><.

Opera is better... faster and pages show better, mostly like in IE.
Also, use the "immunization" of "spyware search & destroy", its good. And uninstall useless crap that you might have.

hmmmm.... I have AVG, and just did a full scan, but it didn't find =/.

Mozilla is just another web browser. However, it is not as susceptible to browser hijacks or evil vb/java scripts. Far less spyware can infest Mozilla, plus Mozilla also runs faster for me.
|
hmmm.... I think it was Window.exe. I removed it earlier but it keeps comin back! ><.
edit: which is the best browser? I've heard of IE, Netscape, firefox, opera, mozilla, and some Advant thing? IE is supposed to be most compatible or something =/.

Most likely you need to clean out your registry. Goto "run" in the start menu and run "regedit." Before doing anything, export the entire registry incase you screw something up. Then check "HKEY LOCAL MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> Run." This registry section contains the items that run at startup. I'd advise deleting anything that you don't remember installing. You can also search the registry for "Run" to find any other keys that might be trying to run things, but make sure not to delete anything important- if you're unsure, don't delete it. Worst case, if Windows craps out after you delete a key, boot into safe mode and restore the old registry you backed up at the beginning. GL HF.

IE is horrible. Mozilla Firefox is the way to go. And yes you can view webpages like IE can, if not better. http://www.mozilla.org

Opera does not "show pages better." It might be more friendly towards pages written by people who have no clue what they're doing with HTML, but it really should never make a difference what browser you're using and how the page is displayed.
The reason why some pages look like shit in Mozilla is because it is 100% standards compliant. It renders html exactly like it should look. If something looks funny in Mozilla it's because it isn't written properly.
The reason why Opera shouldn't be used is like IE, it randomly decides how to render HTML that isn't written properly. Not only will Opera randomly display it, but this random display is also completely different from IE's random display. If people are developing webpages based solely on IE and Opera, the entire page is going to look like crap in the long run.
I was about to post a website example of something that looks fine in IE but crap in Mozilla, but I couldn't pick one out off the top of my head. I'll head back to this thread if I do think of one. Until then, if you look at the top of the news posts on http://www.starcraftgamers.com you will see a small example of what I mean. By using Mozilla you are helping contribute to a positive future for web development.

Mozilla and Firefox are the same browser, however the Mozilla package contains an email client, a chat client, an html development kit, etc while Firefox is simply a browser.
The other thing I forgot to mention about Mozilla above that makes it great is that it is open source. Not only is it free, but you have an entire community of developers reporting and fixing bugs CONSTANTLY. Whereas IE will only fix a major security leak that is reported by thousands of people, a tiny bug you find with mozilla might be some random programmer's evening project and it could be fixed almost immediately.
