I obtained a proxy for myself, called MultiProxy. However, I logged onto IRC before and after disabling/enabling the proxy. My mask was the same regardless of whether the proxy was on/off. Now I...

I don't know if any of you have read the book "The Fugitive Game, Online with Kevin Mitnick" but i definitely recommend that any of you who haven't should pick up a copy. You learn that a lot of the...

I recently started using IRC and was wondering if there is a way to change the way your mask appears to other people. I would feel more comfortable if people didn't know what my ISP is. Are there any...

Glad that we resolved that aeallison. I finally got adaware and you were right. A lot of things that spysweeper didn't pick up were removed by adaware. I'll now run spysweeper, adaware and spybot to...

No aeallison you didn't scare me off i just had to get off the comp and i was gone yesterday. As for you're original question of me using adaware: I'm sorry, i must have missed it. I visited the link...

How is it that you're beginning to smell a troll? I'm just saying that I'm not necessarily blaming the computer for its problems. I did nothing that would intentionally cause it to screw up but I'm...

As a relatively new user of AO I must say that I have found this site extremely helpful and informative. I have to confess that I have started non-security related threads but it was to get help, not...

I'm not saying that I had nothing to do with the problem. There's...

Alright I ran Hijack This and the resulting log is in the attachment. I would have posted it but it seemed too long.

Forgot to mention I do have a firewall and it is Zonealarm Pro with WebFiltering and its a great Firewall. You can't go without one nowadays. I'm going to download Hijack this and try it out and I'll...

good point

Is diskcleanup something that is on my comp or do i have to get it elsewhere?

I can see that most people here don't agree with kazaa so i'll try not to mention it in the future. I have a good spyware program (Webroot Spysweeper) and I have Norton Antivirus 2003. I scanned my...

Thanks ss2chef. I didn't really think about it not being a security related question. I'll remember next time. I don't live in the states but i live in southern canada (2 hours from the border) Is...

While using kazaa might be a moral issue it is still completely legal (at least for music and in Canada) There was a big thing in the courts recently about the music industry trying to sue a whole...

How did you come to that conclusion? BTW thanks for the extremely relevant information.

My computer is getting crappier all the time. It has all sorts of problems with everything. Lately when I've been doing things on the internet I've noticed a few constant problems which seem to start...

My family recently purchased a Hewlett Packard psc 1210 all-in-one printer, scanner, copier at a garage sale. We were assured by the people that all the necessary software and drivers were included...

I had the same problem as you (as far as my home page being changed to a site that i did not want). In my case, the problem was related to spyware. I obtained a great spyware removal program called...

Thank you very much nokia. I will try what you suggested and hopefully it will work out. Your assistance is greatly appreciated : ) !

Sorry i forgot to mention, there have also been some physical problems. the back two hinges are broken from opening the lid so much, and the fan hasn't been working properly so im afraid something...

The laptop is about a year old. It didn't come with XP installed, my dad put it on there. I've never upgraded or changed any of the hardware. The message says "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" *** STOP:...

Lately i have been having big problems booting up my laptop. It starts up and begins to load WinXP and then a blue screen appears saying that some of the hardware failed and I should try running in...

Thank you The Specialist. You took the words right out of my mouth and in the process saved my lazy ass from having to say them.

Thanks everyone especially Nihil. You've all been very helpful. After much deliberation i finally decided to just delete the file. Its my parents comp and i don't see they ever having to use the...
