  1. [glow=red,2,300]Firefox owns ur mom so face it IE Sucks[/glow]

    This is just pointless to say because a lot of ppl use both browsers and do not want to try anything else. FF might be better but it has its flaws.. I prefer FF but i use IE quite often too :)

  2. sorry (forgot the link) :P

    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Encoders-Converter-DIVX-Related/ACE-Mega-CoDecS-Pack.shtml

    You better uninstall any previously installed packs before installing this one (just to avoid any version codec problems or anything, or it may ask you to uninstall specific installed codecs, I don't know) .. Good luck with this pack.. It has a control panel that gets added in windows control panel for all the codecs as well ;)

  3. yeah. when i go to tools in IE, and connections, LAN settings, i check off the proxy server box.

    Delete any IP #s in the proxy fields and then go to Automatically Detect settings (check off that box).. It should've worked with not being checked but that may work ;)

    P.S. Post a Hijackthis log in here so we can see if any proxy server settings are hiding in your Internet settings ;)

  4. OK, I unplugged modem for 10 min -- I am running a direct line to my modem---its 11:20 EST here so maybe this is why I'm getting good results. The inconsistent results are VERY frustrating---here are my latest:

    Good speeds but the first hop is still very high :(

  5. ...may sound like a stupid question, but how does it do more harm than good?  Is it harming my system in any way? 

    Its not harming your pc in any way but Google can see what sites you are visiting because their servers cache the webpages you visit or they send you the cached pages when you try to open them .. I tried it and uninstalled it.. Like FallowEarth is saying, if you have broadband or even dial-up, its better to go without the accelerator ;)

  6. Any programs similar to Webroot's Spy Sweeper?  Ive been using that on my old desktop but yeah it makes it veryyyyy slow, alot faster with it closed.

    There's Spyware Blaster which prevents spyware from being installed. If you install Spybot Search and Destroy it also has a list of things that it protects you against. Then Ad-aware and Spybot for manual scans against spyware and should be OK. Another program that is close to Spy Sweeper is Microsoft Anti-Spyware.. It was in Beta and it was free (don't know about now), but if you search on google or on download.com it will pop up probably ;)

  7. It came with the latest firmware(3.51) and it was unstable--I tried an older version of the firmware to see if there would be a difference, but there isn't really.

    Maybe it is just the router that is slow.. Try a different router if you have another one or just connect your modem directly to your pc (via Ethernet port or USB - Ethernet is better though) ;)

    Pretty average results but I don't use my net for a lot of things no more.. Just Carom3d online pool and some other online games and god forbid some school projects from time to time :D

  9. Tried the Kmeleon browser but it did not show all symbols and stuff and i didn't particularly like its interface and skins.. Its also based on the Mozilla engine (1.7.12 being the most current), so I would just stick with FireFox as alternative browser.. I may give Avant Browser or Opera (most probably Opera) another try as replacement for IE ;)
