[quote author=John Hudson link=board=Offtopic;num=1089235975;start=15#18 date=07/07/04 at 16:12:16]Im doing Ad-Aware right now.

Symantec removed a boat oad of them but requires me to do MANUAL removal in the reigstry which is always fun.  Lets hope this AD AWARE can do that better!

And regarding the PC/MAC debate - Who cares. [/quote]

I do, just because it pisses David off...
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Alright

Did the following:

Ad-Aware
Spybot
Registry Cleaner

Now the DVXUSER>COM Logo does what its suppossed to. Pop-ups have literally seized (Except for the standard ones that some websites like to use such as msnbc.com and playboy.com :D )

ONe issue still remains that is not that dramatic and it is the search window. IT opens up some BS search engine instead of the usual msn search toolbar. Anyway thanks for the help everyone. It all worked very well!
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Look to set up your Internet Firewall -- it's in the Help.

It won't stop pop-ups from web pages you intentionally visit (like news sites, etc.), but it will stop pop-ups that aren't initiated in any way by you.
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

As was just mentioned, the Google toolbar for IE has a popup blocker builtin. Very nice addition to IE.

But, I would recommend installing Mozilla Firefox as your browser instead. That's what I have been using. The tabbed browsing support is so simple an addition but very handy.

There is actually actions like that in the courts. Called hijacking, it is early yet. Really, it depends on how much you are actually damaged.
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Spybot and AdAware are great programs. Justa run a scan once a week and you will stay "clean". Can't wait to get those new G5's! 8)
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Here's the link for a really powerful program, Hijackthis:

http://www.nawsct.com/hijackthis.exe

it's a quick scan program that tells you every program that runs when you start your computer, along with all the stupid .dll and internet explorer add-ins. When you run it, it scans all the places known spyware and adware hang out, like the registry...

The single best way to make things better is take the time, go to http://www.mozilla.org, and download yourself the new version of Mozilla (at the time of this writing, 1.6), or the even-newer, lighter, faster Firefox (for something without email clients and stuff built in- just pure browser). Just like how the large bulk of virii are written for windows, the large bulk of spy/adware are written for IE. Change your browser, and graduate to safer browsing.

read this too...

Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Oh. Also. If you get those BS search pages.. (sponsered search pages) and spybot doesnt catch it, then it is probably something that was installed (not intentionally). Go to add/remove programs and scan for things you dont recognize. Esp if it says '.. search..' , then remove it.
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Whats up with Mozilla? People actually use this? (Im not being a dickhead here; I have only HEARd about it and know nothing about it).

What can you guys tell me about it? Is this something to take away from the Corp Giant of Microsoft?
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

I downloaded Mozilla, but I couldn't get into the swing of it. It's sort of like trying to go from Premiere Pro to Vegas. Everyone tells me to try Vegas, but I just can't get use to the layout of it.
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

If memory serves me correct, in their dying days, Netscape decided to go open-source and give away their code. The non-profit Mozilla Foundation was born and with donations from users and AOL, mozilla.org was born. It seems nobody is trying to make any money off of mozilla, just a better browser that is free. No wonder Bill Gates doesn't want you to use it. :P
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

everyone i know uses mozillia, i use it all the time. I really love that instead of opening new windows you just open new tabs in the same window. Plus you can download skins for it.
 
Re: DVXuser.com LOGO up there

Whats the issue with opening new windows? ONe can just ALT / TAB between them. How does Mozilla handle switching between windows? Must one click the tabs or are there shortcuts?
