Housecall found a Trojan, and I proptly deleted it before my computer could freeze again. Didn't stop to see the exact file name, though.

Fuck, that didn't help. Nothing seems to be working!

AHH!

My computer is fucking fucked!

I downloaded Spybot (free full spyware detector), and cleaned a bunch of shit from my computer. Seems to have worked! :mrgreen:

i am a fan of the ad-aware, but kick ass!

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 5/5/2004, 6:48 pm

Oh, I have Ad-Aware, but it missed a shitload of stuff (it usually tends to pick up one file from a group, often .dll or .exe, but tends to miss a lot of stuff related to it) and most of what it does catch consists of Tracking Cookies.

Spybot is way better than Ad-aware.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 5/5/2004, 7:52 pm

Thus far it appears so. :nod:

Although, AdAware does get some stuff that Spybot misses.

Right now, I'm using a shitload of stuff to protect/scan my computer...

McAfee Virus Scan
McAfee Firewall
Ad-Aware 6
Spybot
Housecall (online scanner)

:freak:

How can I share a program with my old man? We each have seperate accounts and the program that I need to share is called Internet Call Direct. I got it up and ruunning on my account but, not on my old mans account. How can I get it to work on his?

Another thing involving email. On mine and his, we both use outlook BUT its the same mailing address;his. I use for ebay. BUT my ebay mail is going into his mailbox and his mail is comming into mine. I need to go into both. Am I making any sense?

Ugh. This is why XP's dumb accounts thing is worthless.

I... umm... really don't feel like trying to explain how computers work. Heh. *runs*

Oh, and I use Spybot, too. Screw Ad-Aware. I installed it and it freaking screwed my computer over and I had to format... after JUST getting it working again 2 days previous. I freaking hate that program. :mad:

it's good to use Ad-Aware and Spybot together :nod:

How can I make a gif file smaller? File size, that is.

Get RID of Ad-aware ASAP and get SpyBot.

I have the 100+ dollar payable version of Spybot, and nothing beats it. From what I hear, ad-aware has "spyware" built into it. so go figure, it doesn't work.

Spybot works great....

Henrietta · Post by **Henrietta** » 5/7/2004, 2:41 pm

Dangit...I use AdAware.

Don't.........believe me. Even the free version of Spybot (like Rob has....) is better than ad-aware.

Hey.......does anybody know how to make desktop wallpapers?? Even if its just a simple one, like putting some pictures together.

Also.....does anybody on the hub have freakin "paint" that they could share long enough for me to download??? I think it got deleted from my computer at some point, probably by my own dumbass fault.
