PioneerCrazed I haven't used eTrust but if it doesn't have a way to clean what it finds I would suggest getting a different anti virus program.I use AVG by Grissoft.There are several .

Heres a link to a testmy topic on temperature http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=6057.0

I had a couple of viruses over a year ago that AVG would only get rid of in safe mode..I think AVG has a heal mode as well as delete you might try healing it then deleteing it.If this doesn't work DL a program called Stinger & run it in safe mode.Basically it kills certain viruses.I have another AVG program I will see if I can find the link to it if you still have the virus after trying the above. http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ Stinger link http://www.grisoft.com/doc/112/lng/us/tpl/tpl01 vcleaner from AVG link

ch34p5hot Did you runAVG in safe mode?

Then run AVG again to see if it got rid of it.

I put in settings for the registry but I agree with project51 if the router or modem has lower settings it will change the MTU & MSS to those settings.

ch34p5hot : Go to safe mode & run AVG if that doesn't work post again.

I'm a long time Broncos fan they haven't been the same without Elway.But they will be the team I'm cheering for.

ArcticWolf: I did this a whie back but I beleive it will let you make the MTU 7 MSS settings in the Windows 98se registry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is how my Windows 98 SE& windows ME are tweaked.You need to determine what RWIN ,MTU,&MSS your OS needs to use .Then you can add them to your registry . These tweaks will allow you to make some adjustments to your system if you want to do it yourself.There are programs that will do this for you. Like Cablenut but it won't make all of these.If you use one of these this will allow you to see if the program made these adjustments to your registry.If you don't like the adjustment a program made you can change it back if you don't like adjustments to the program you are using to automatically make the adjustments for you.Some allow ajustments some do not.Since I can't know what you have installed you will have to decide what it will take for your OS to keep the settings you want. You need to install this patch http://dslnuts.com/patch/236926usa8.exe It might already be installed or you might be able to get it from MS . This is the MS link http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;236926 These tweaks are for setting your RWIN(DefaultRcvWindow),MTU&MSS.You need to determine yourself what settings your OS needs. You need to have window scaling turned on if you want a larger RWIN than 65535 windows 98se will automatically limit the maximum to this with window scaling off even if you set it larger.To determine this you need to go here in your registry.HKLMsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesVxDMSTCP there should be a string value here "Tcp1323Opts" Exactly like this without the quotes.The O is the letter not a zero. Capital letters should be as they are here& small letters as they are.This is important when tweaking the registry with any tweaks you might add.If this setting is not here you need to add it as a new string value.The values are 0(zero) for Window scaling off, 1 for window scaling only on,2 for time stamping only on,3 for both on.My OS is set at 1. HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesVxDMSTCP "DefaultRcvWindow" without quotes a string value this should already be in the right pane put in the rwin value you want. HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesVxDMSTCP/parameters "GlobalMaxTCPWindoSize" without quotes add as Dword value in right pane it probably won't already be there.The Windo part of this tweak is correct there is not a w at the end of window. set the value the same as the rwin in DefaultRcvWindow.Select Decimal & put in RWIN. Cablenut puts the setting above in HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesVxDMSTCP but if you check the tweak on the web it is supposed to be where I suggested.I actually have it both places now & it hasn't caused any problems. HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesMSTCPNdiparams string value "(Default)"without quotes set at your MTU value string value named "@" without quotes set at your MTU value HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet000 "IPMTU" without quotes string value in right pane set at your MTU value HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet000NdiparamsIPMTU string value "(Default)"without quotes set at your MTU value string value named "@" without quotes set at your MTU value add values to right pane HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet000NdiparamsIPMTUenum delete the values for "Large" "medium" & "small" without quotes Leave tht values for "Automatic" &(default) rename "automatic" your MTU value like "1500" for example the put in "Automatic" without quotes as the value of the string value it should look something like this example I could not copy the string value symbol so where I type string value is where the symbol would be string value 1500 "Automatic".If you make this last tweak you need to make these setting to network in the control panel .Select your internet connection( such as Dial-up adapter this is what my OS uses) then select properties then advanced highlight IP Packet size& select automatic.Then OK&OK again.you need to do this for each type of connection you have. HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet000NdiparamsIPMTU002 string value "IPMTU" without quotes set at your MTU value There may be other values here like 003,004,005 depending on your system network put in like the 002 value HKMLsystemcurrentcontrolsetservicesclassnet trans000 string value "MaxMSS" without quotes set at your MTU value string value "MaxMTU"without quotes set at your MTU value There may be other values here like 002,003,004,005 depending on your system network put in like the 000 value You can check the values your system has at ths site https://www.speedguide.net/index.php select the TCP/IP Analyzer

FallowEarth .Thanks the links didn't have the ARIN info but I just got the address from the tracert &checked them.I don't know if Williams Communications is affiliated with my ISP but NTS Communications would be my ISP

FallowEarth;My ISP block me doing tracert but this is from a site that has a tool. http://www.nwtools.com/ TraceRoute to 216.167.*.* [nts-254.143-*-*.nts-online.net] Hop (ms) (ms) (ms)

boywonder;I'm glad you could do the test I tried to help another member with it once & he was kind of irritated when it didn't work from his area.The ground wire should be fine to clean the connection the only way it would shock you is if there is a short in something running to it.No problem on it being the same one as the electric meter.My NID is just not close to my electric meter. Like I said it doesn't paste well but I think from the graph you have 4 load coils on your line but your speed looks good on the test.This is some information on this" There are 2 or more A/D's on this loop". A/D's on this loop A/D conversion Analog to Digital conversion Multiple A/D Conversions prevent v.90 connections The phone line going from the modem is analog until it terminates into the phone company's central office (CO) or digital loop carrier (DLC). If there is more than one analog to digital (A/D) conversion present on the line (see below), you will not get v.90 connection speeds; instead, you will get v.34 connection speeds. More than one A/D conversion on the line can be attributable to: Old equipment Some older switches may cause an additional analog to digital conversion. Pads Pads may be used on the line to make voice communication the same volume both ends during a telephone conversation. An analog pad introduces additional A/D conversion. There are also digital pads which do not affect the connection speed. SLCs If your home (or office) is attached to the Telco Central Office (CO) using a non-integraded/universal DLC, also known as an "SLC", you will have more than one analog to digital conversion. If, on the other hand, the SLC is directly integrated into the digital telco switch, you should get a v.90 connection unless the options or timing are not correctly configured by the Telco which would result in poor throughput and unreliable connections. Here is some information on interpreting the results its limited I am trying to find more. Graph

I thought I would put these in. Second Amendment

verlak; Something definatly caused the first speed test to be cached.I don't know what because I can't cache a test on the main site but can on mirrors. I guess the web accelerator allowed faster speed on the second test but I'm not sure how since a web accelerator works by futher compressing data if I have that right & the data on the Testmy test is already compressed. The last test is probably accurate How well does your connection load web pages with & without the webaccelerator? If it works better with use it except when testing. There are several tweaks in the dial-up section you can try all may not work with AOL but you can try.Also read the other stickies about making sure your system is virus & spyware free among other things.

boywonder ;Sounds like you have good cable from the jack or module to the PC.Older house phone cable is probably 4 wire non twisted pair .It can cause some loss it depends on the wire guage,Electric interference it might pick up ,& again legnth makes a difference.So something is causing more line noise by the time it gets to your PC room.Temporarily put a phone in the jack there dial 1 & see if it sounds noisey like static or any type of background noise.It should be almost silent. On the ground if the satellite is grounded there it probably is a good ground you could dig gently trying not to damage the wire & see what its grounded to .It should be a metal rod driven strait down with the wires in some kind of clamp.I haven't read anything on it but I doubt if the satellite is causing any interference or noise. I don't know if you can e-mail Verizon I will put a copy of the test here & you can copy & paste it in an e-mail for Verizon to see a sample of the test SBC uses.Its no suprise they didn't know anything about the test even if you talked to someone that called themselves a tech.Like I said I talked to several at SBC that were supposed to be tech that had never heard of the test .So I was teaching them about their own company. This is what the test looks like the graph doesn't paste too well: THANK YOU FOR CALLING THE SBC MODEM LINE TESTER. PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS AND YOUR LINE WILL BE TESTED. Last Name

Heres a few quotes I will throw in: Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. -- George Washington Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action. -- Theodore Roosevelt I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. -- James Madison No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation. -- General Douglas MacArthur Our country is being radically altered, step by step, by Justices who are not following any law. -- Robert Bork That book [the Bible], sir, is the rock on which our Republic rests. When that book falls, I assure you that the liberties you enjoy will go with it. -- Andrew Jackson

boywonder ;There isn't much you can do from the NID box on. You could run a better cable to where you normally keep you PC this might get you close to what it is at the NID. When you did the test at the NID did this disconnect the rest of the house most modern NID's work that way.If it did the you could have a phone causin the problem where you normally have your PC or its the phone cable to your PC. the AT%L are within tolerance The AT%Q almost is at the NID. A better ground rod to the NID sometimes helps But sometimes doesn't.I have a 6 foot copper clad steel ground rod hooked to mine the NID was just grounded to a water pipe at my house by the phone company. If you could get the phone company to run a new line from your house to the pole it might help but since their modem standards are so low (they are only required to have 14k) it would be at your expense & might not help.It will meet their test I'm pretty sure. I have posted a telsink test from Hyperterminal that you can see how many load coils are on the line from a graph & some other results.But the one I use is SBC & it is only available in a 5 state area around me.I'm not sure it even covers all of Texas.It is also called a "data line quality test" Your phone company probably has one if they will give you the number.You will need to talk to a tech to get it probably above the first level.It took me several calls & several techs to get the one I use.Lower level techs had not even heard of the test.These would do a lower level test that only told them the line was OK.

resopalrabotnick : The reason I put the part about draft & militia in my earlier post is the antigun people always say"That the militia is who the Second amendment means has the right to bear arms"Definatly not my interpretation I think this is an individual right. Here are a few quotes I never can remember which wat this one goes I think both are correct. "The history of firearms in the history of freedom" "The history of freedom is the history of firearms" Before this we were under fuedal law either you were a noble or a serf which is almost a slave. Thats why our ancestors came to America & took it from the British. "When guns are outlawed only outlaws & the government have guns" both would use this to oppress the people. FallowEarth; It would be wonderful if the human race had ascended to a level where there would be no need for guns or violence.The problem is most are not there yet by a long way. When I see all the governments.military & police in all nations lay their guns down & not use them for a long while I will consider doing the same.Let them lead by example. dukebettrthanunc ; Should I take offense at your user name or am I being overly sensitive?

I used petition it may have not been the correct legal term I'm not a lawyer.Obviously the analogy wouldn't occur in the real world.It was to make a point that the Supreme Court is not the final word in the land. I wouldn't compare Timothy McVey to a patriot but an example of what happens to an individual or small group that takes action on their own.Automatically brands them terrorist not revolutionary.Without getting into any conspiracy theory on this.As for innocents getting killed this happens in all wars from the first one on Earth to the last one if that ever happens. dukebettrthanunc: The Bill of Rights is reason enough to fight for privacy.Let me give you an example the government has top secret information should the government have a right to keep this private.If two large corperations are planning to merge should I have the right to go in look at any of their files I want to then buy stock.Some refer to this as insider trading.If the government has a right to privacy;if businesses have a right to privacy;then individual citizens should have a right to twice as much.If some innocents get killed because these rights are upheld that is part of the price of freedom. All citizens of the USA are part of a militia.My proff of this is the Draft although it is not used right now it can be put in place legally at any time & any citizen from just born to 100+ can be drafted if thats the way Congress puts it into effect.

JimPrice; It is my beleif the Supreme Court can make an illegal decision.Let me give you an example.Someone files a petition for a court order to execute everyone over 6ft.tall.The lower courts turn it down till it gets to the Supreme Court they decide to give the court order I say this would be illegal even if they decided to do it.This is why Congress can make a new law that is the same essentally as any the Supreme Court declares unconstitutional thus overriding the decision until it comes before the Supreme Court again. As for bitching instead of doing something well if one man does something he is called a terrorist take Timothy McVey It takes enough that are ready to fight to make a revolution. I like Jefferson heres one more of his quotes & a couple of others. I have a right to nothing which another has a right to take away -- Thomas Jefferson Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom. -- John F. Kennedy When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty, and property of the people ... and ... becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression ... it is a ... sacred obligation to their posterity to abolish such government and create another in its stead. -- Sam Houston

jamaicarocks; You could try scannow check the MS link below for this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747/EN-US/ If it doesn't help your no worse off.

FGOKURULES ;I don't have to explain but I usually do.I am a mod & I am supposed to moderate That is why I put in a warning because your insult was not really very bad.But it appeared as if it could be the start of flaming.resopalrabotnick said it well so I dittoed him although his post could have led to you explaining who you were insulting.

I make mine for dial-up because you can use better cable & make the legnths you want cat3 twisted pair is usually sufficient for dial-up.This is to make regular phone cable for my modem & PC.

Ditto But very limited insults will be allowed otherwise the topic will be locked & archived or deleted.
