thanks for the tip Cholla, but i already suggest 2 well known good spycleaners in the list, i try to reduce the list as much as i can, but somehow it just growing lol
Im open for suggestions to change the list, if i can see in a review that eg spyware blaster is better then Ad_aware and spybot S&D
VanBuren
I just wanted to say that spyware blaster doesn't function like a spyware cleaner, it is very different from adaware and spybot s&d . It doesn't scan for and clean spyaware it prevents it from installing. It does this with active-x controls etc.
Spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and dialers are some of the fastest-growing threats on the Internet today.By simply browsing to a web page, you could find your computer to be the brand-new host of one of these unwanted fiends!
The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.
SpywareBlaster can help keep your system spyware-free and secure, without interfering with the "good side" of the web.
And unlike other programs, SpywareBlaster does not have to remain running in the background.

Huge difference in speed
his Tweak will speed up the page loading in firefox:
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a
time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once,
which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30.
This means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name
it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This
value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts
on information it receives. If you're using a broadband
connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
Disabling refererrer headers can also help. Set the value of "network.http.sendRefererheader" to 0. This setting isn't for everyone though and not everyone will recomend it.
Also I found that I got better performance when I switched my initial paint delay from 0 to 250 or 125.

Welcome to the forum, Guh-reg. waveThanks.
I would personally like to see a speed test on your wired connection straight to the modem (NOT wireless, and NOT through the router).This will tell us if it is good or bad there, then we'll know where to start.
Will do. It might take me a few hours though (other people using it etc).

1. I am running Win98SE
2. My ISP is mediacom http://www.mchsi.com
The advertised speed for downloads is "up to 3 megabytes". They don't seem to advertise upload speeds. This is all I can find: "* Cable modems provide access speeds that are 50 times faster than 28.8Kbps dial-up connections. They are faster than 768Kbps digital subscriber line (DSL) services, and they don't tie up the phone line. Speeds may vary and are based on download rate.". My up load rate is already about 9% greater than the mchsi average, so no worries there.
3. Installed tweaking programs: II installed cablenut and used VanBuren's settings v7.0. No change. I also made some tweaks with DrTCP. I calculated my optimal RWIN at 49,640 and set the MRU for my wireless adapter to 1492.

OKay, I fixed the packet loss problem (it was caused by a bug in win98 that caused packet redirection etc. I downloaded a patch and it fixed the packet loss problem) and I am no longer getting reports of throughput bieng limited by other network traffic or suggestions of adjusting reciever buffer size. Everything looks fine now but I am still only getting around 60-68% of my hosts average rate.
See, all better!
removed your IP adress, not a good idea to post em in public
