true.. forgot about that.. its especially useful for IE spyware and startup programs and services removal

Best things for protection for preventing future spyware infections are: Ad-Aware Spybot S&D JavaCool software SpywareBlaster JavaCool software SpywareGuard Microsoft SpywareBeta + antivirus I've used the first for a long time and I have had no serious spyware infection

Hope the internet works after the reformat!

true, but if you avoid obvious spyware sites such as www.virus.com or something like that, you will be ok with just one .. i just have spybot, normal ad-aware and spyware blaster and i have no spyware as well

Since the other 2 pcs have internet access, I would too say that it is either the NIC card or Windows that is creating a problem for the internet connection.. First, try a different NIC card if you have one (different Network card), so we can eliminate that as the problem.. Maybe its a faulty cable to the router from the pc that has no access.. Have u tried switching the cables from the problematic pc to the router (using a different cable..)?

Adwatch only monitors registry changes right?

I hear that JavaCool's SpywareGuard is good too, but I never tried it myself cuz it crashes my comp on every windows boot

why?

I'll say use an antivirus and peer guardian for bittorrent.. and the search on the internet for some free burning program if you need it

I use that and its pretty good.. So far no ActiveX spyware.. Right now it has protection against something like 4500 items

Did you try restarting your router? Kind of a stupi question, but that may be the problem too

I searched for the capture AIW 9600xt graphic card on some stores' websites and i got those two websites with the lowest prices: Canada Computers Tiger Direct The TigerDirect website has a quoted price which is about 100 bucks higher than CanadaComputers.. Both websites advertise the same products for those prices (If you click on CanadaComputers' website and then on more info, the link will lead to the ATI home of the 9600xt graphics card).. Is there anything different in both of those packages or is it only the price.. I could ask in the CanadaComputers store if they sell it with the remote and software, but I think that it comes in box with every 9600xt graphics card.. How is the capturing quality of this video card? I mean the resolution.. What is the max capturing resolution if any of you know for the 9600xt graphics card.. Thanks for any answers in advance EDIT: One more question.. I couldn't find any info on the web about this particular function of this graphics card, but does it require any extra power supply (e.g.: higher watt ps).. I was wondering this, because my current ps is only 300W and if you can advise me on whether this card will work good with it or whether it could cause some system instability because of insufficient ps, it would be greatly appreciated

The pic u included gives results for IE and Windows cleaning.. That stuff (cookies, downloaded files, history of apps,etc) should be cleaned out periodically to prevent it from building up.. There are many free programs that do that (including CCleaner)

Do you use anything else for registry cleaning? Does Registry Mechanic detect only components that could be removed FOR SURE and therefore would not cause program crashes by removing them?

Mine is not self-updating .. Im gonna install the new version from their website

Thats an excellent price.. So much faster and yet so much cheaper than other ISPs

Thanks!

There is an msn messenger 7.5 out? Cuz when I run my 7.0 it doesn't say anything about available updates.. Are u sure there is a new version out available from the msn website?

What are the speeds for the dsl and the cable internet?

Not too bad, but if the advertised speed is 10mbps down, then it needs some serious improvement

One program is enough for me.. And I don't like to clean my registry, cuz I want everything to keep on working

I downloaded CCcleaner, but I am not going to try RegistryMechanic just cause its a trial and it will expire..

I don't have any registry cleaner.. Do you use any that are good? Because I used some before but I don't want to delete any information that might relate to currently installed programs and cause them to malfunction.. Secondly, I could not open the log file in order to see what it is that made it so big.. Notepad tried, but it gave up saying its too big, which is normal for a 4gb text file

I cannot open it.. Notepad says its too large.. I expect the same thing happening with other text editors.. Its 4 GB.. Its gonna load in the text editor for at least a couple of minutes, if the editor can even open it.. I deleted it and next time i booted my pc, trend micro created a new one.. I just don't know how it got so big, because on every restart, the program adds 1kb more to it (about 10 lines or so).. That means I restarted a million times before it got to 4GB.. At least I freed up some disk space

i'm thinking its even worse than windows 98.. i'll be better off skipping a heart beat when my pc restarts for no reason, that skipping two heart beats from seeing the blue screen and its console font
