To anyone who might be able to help How do I delete these programs? I have Norton and it is saying I have 3 with "threats". I have copied a paragraph per the problem from Symatech. Drake File names: SpywareNukerInstaller.exe When the installation process is started, SpywareNukerInstaller.exe attempts to connect to spywarenuker.com to download SpyNukerSetup.exe, which is another component of the setup program. This file is saved to C:\Program Files\Trek Blue. When the download is complete this file is executed. By default, the program installs itself to C:\Program Files\Trek Blue\Spyware Nuker, and then insert several files and subfolders in this folder. The program comes with a LSPFix executable that modifies Windows TCP/IP setup. As a result of this modification, you may loose network connectivity. Note: Removing this adware component from the system will likely cause the program that installed it to not function as intended. The uninstaller generally identifies the programs that will not work after uninstallation. Update the virus definitions. Uninstall Spyware Nuker using the Add/Remove Programs utility. Run a full system scan and delete all the files detected as Adware.SpywareNuker. Delete the value that was added to the registry. For specific details on each of these steps, read the following instructions. 1. Updating the virus definitions Symantec Security Response fully tests all the virus definitions for quality assurance before they are posted to our servers. There are two ways to obtain the most recent virus definitions: Running LiveUpdate, which is the easiest way to obtain virus definitions: These virus definitions are posted to the LiveUpdate servers once each week (usually on Wednesdays), unless there is a major virus outbreak. To determine whether definitions for this threat are available by LiveUpdate, refer to the Virus Definitions (LiveUpdate). Downloading the definitions using the Intelligent Updater: The Intelligent Updater virus definitions are posted on U.S. business days (Monday through Friday). You should download the definitions from the Symantec Security Response Web site and manually install them. To determine whether definitions for this threat are available by the Intelligent Updater, refer to the Virus Definitions (Intelligent Updater). The Intelligent Updater virus definitions are available: Read "How to update virus definition files using the Intelligent Updater" for detailed instructions. 2. Uninstalling the Adware Do one of the following: On the Windows 98 taskbar: Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add/Remove Programs. On the Windows Me taskbar: Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add/Remove Programs. If you do not see the Add/Remove Programs icon, click "...view all Control Panel options." On the Windows 2000 taskbar: By default, Windows 2000 is set up the same as Windows 98. In that case, follow the Windows 98 instructions. Otherwise, click Start, point to Settings, point to Control Panel, and then click Add/Remove Programs. On the Windows XP taskbar: Click Start > Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add or Remove Programs. Click Spyware Nuker Note: You may need to use the scroll bar to view the whole list. Click Add/Remove, Change/Remove, or Remove (this varies with the operating system). Follow the prompts.

Hi Peggy, When one first brings up the www.msn.com page, it provides a "narrowband" default page. In its lower left hand corner, one can switch to broadband (more "stuff" to download), or back to narrowband (less "stuff" to load faster). I don't know whether or not it applies to the "My MSN" area.

Hello go to tools-internet options-delete history. Be warned. It will delete all of them. even new ones. You could lower the number of days to keep the history. then only the ones you use often will be there. While on the page you can delete temporary Internet files. If you delete the cookies you will need to put some passwords back in to use those pages again. Like Ancestry.com pay pages.

I didn't see a blue car on www.msn.com until I changed the default www.msn.com web page to the "broadband version", and then the blue car appeared. To the right of the blue car is an "MSN search" place. Maybe your internet options settings or your firewall is blocking this?

Janet, I took the example that you provided me off list, peeked under the HTML for it and found that it was a part of the http://www.newport-news.com/ site. Then I went to the area of t he site where you provided the examples. The bad news is that the site has some lousy web site writers that can't make their web pages work. I tried clicking on the web pages' "Click on this link for a larger picture" and the majority just did not work. The good news is that your WinXP and Internet Explorer Version 6 is working just fine.

In Win XP in Windows Explorer, one can click on an image and enlarge it, but that can't happen for a picture on the web or in an e-mail. Can you provide a sample URL where this large "X" occurs over a picture? Are you actually talking about a picture on the web, or a picture in an e-mail? Insofar as not being able to see an image on the web, and seeing a little symbol inside a big square with blue border, that might be because "show pictures" has been unchecked in "internet options" > "advanced". See if the check mark for that was inadvertently removed. By the way, (unrelated to above) be sure to uncheck "resize pictures" in "internet options" > "advanced" under "multimedia". The default setting is "reduce pictures" to fit the screen. Why on earth Microsoft did that I don't know, but I imagine it has traumatized many who, after downloading a humongous picture, the picture is shrunk to fit the screen and the details and legibility are gone. The "resize" does NOT reduce the time for long download of large pictures. I've placed large pictures on web sites with the idea that people can see the detail by scrolling left/right/up/down, and MS's default setting is to shrink web pictures to fit the screen. I have a separate link that tells viewers to be sure and reset their "internet options" so they can view the picture properly. Woody ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ jjc@gvtc.com writes: Help Again!

The best way to transfer data is an external USB hard drive, but then you have to have USB on both machines. Another way is to e-mail the files, but that has a file size problem. Probably 2 mb max per e-mail. See http://f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/ The other way is to use Yahoo's "Briefcase". Once you have a free account with Yahoo, you can upload files to a 30meg private directory on the web from your laptop, and then download it back down to your new Sony. If your www.tex1.net has web mail, you can e-mail yourself without your Outlook Express tossing it back down to you, and then download the e-mail with attachments to your new Sony. Probably a lot more ways out there, but these are some.

I regulary receive the Rootsweb Review. Often there are excellent articles which I would like to print for future reference.

Now there's a feature that, after all these years, I finally discovered only recently. To print only what you want to print from a web page, highlight only those areas. Then click on "print". When the print menu comes up, click on "Selection". (That means the area of a web page you have selected by highlighting.) Then, on the print menu, click "print". Saves ink and printing off a lot of unwanted extraneous stuff, too, such as banners, the left column full of links and junk, etc. Woody ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sjmac@xtra.co.nz writes: I regulary receive the Rootsweb Review.
