Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2004QUIT POSTING THIS SPYWARE INFESTED LINK!!!!!!!!!
The following URL was posted again in the thread Re: Measuring Amalgam Potentials ttp://z1.adserver.com/w/cp.x;rid=402;tid=5;ev=1;dt=3;ac=60;c=986;;nc=1 I deleted the "h" in http at the beginning of the link. This is the third time I am aware of that this poster put this crap in SMD lately. I try not to read her posts however I have not disabled the preview pane in OE. It *will* put cookies and possibly, registry entries on your PC. STOP IT carabelli > The following URL was posted again in the thread > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > It *will* put cookies and possibly, registry entries on your PC. .... Just one more reason to use a Mac, at least for UseNet. I deleted the whole thing b/4 reading it, as it is crapola. I don't kill anyone, but I throw things away if I know it's crap. Was it KPW or SHNMNBM who posted this link? And even more important: How did you know that this link does this? Thanks SP BTW: At least we got rid of Keri/Mandy/Johanne (troll): W_B and TW got wise, and I Googled her ISP #.

Thanks, I've got Adaware and Spybot Search and Destroy on all my PCs. Interesting, my kids were required to have these installed before they could connect to their college network last fall. carabelli >> Try running SpywareGuard free from.... >> http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >carabelli Unfortunately, the colleges and public libraries are often times way behind with their computer technology. At a library, they insisted that all floppy disks be scanned on a standalone computer against McAfee before use on their network. I asked when was the most recent virus definitions profile update? They said, "Oh its current. We updated in February." This conversation occurred in June!

My solution is to ROLLBACK on WindowsXP. It rolls back the settings so it looks like November 1, 2004, or August 1, 2004 or whenever the 'puter was running better! One time a very serious virus took over my entire computer, but guess what? The computer actually ran quicker, because it disabled all the Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, and everything else opt-in stuff that are actually subtle viruses! With the huge virus, it ran much faster! The only problem was that I could not access my mail or anything else in my favorites list. The HUGE virus redirected every request to their site. But it was quick! So I had to rollback. Here's a great software idea: A program that you purchase that will disable all the Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft goings on that slow down your computer.

You can set up domains you don't ever want to see again to match an IP that sends the search right back to your own PC - effectively blocking forever. carabelli > -- > Adenosine > Semi-informed Dental Consumer ? > >The following URL was posted again in the thread > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Adenosine > Semi-informed Dental Consumer ? I downloaded Mozilla and will try it out when I have time after the holidays carabelli > This is the third time I am aware of that this poster put this crap in SMD > lately.

Do you have to be stupid enough to click on the link for the spyware to load or is it somehow automatic? I haven't had too much trouble with such stuff, but I understand that nobody is likely to give me something for nothing, so I simply don't download "free" goodies that are likely to have an unwanted payload.

Would you please explain this to my 17 yr old? > Vaughn |
