Any thoughts?

[lord_casek]

gah!

 

that is my only thought. get rid of google toolbar.

[I.C.Shadow]

This is my buddies pc, it has a retarded amount of pop ups...

 

Do any of you know what should be deleted from the above list?

[lord_casek]

alot of things, i.c.

 

first off, google toolbar. get rid of that.

 

qttask can be turned off from within quicktimes preferences, so can the winamp agent. turn that stuff off.

 

 

tell ya what. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html

spyware blaster should be loaded on. then spybot, http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

 

run them, update them, use them.

 

have him install this https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=10

 

and everythign should be ok.

Battery Revival:

 

The batteries on laptops are often a problem. Most people sit their laptop on a desk and use AC power, so the battery usually suffers, resulting in a chemical ‘memory’, which gives them a life of about 3 seconds under load. The batteries in my donor laptops were both made in 2000, so I had to try and revive them. If you have any NiCd or NiMH batteries that won’t hold their charge, you can often revive them. This is not a new concept, but here is my recipe for reviving rechargeable batteries:

 

1. Discharge the battery as much as you can.

2. Place in a sealed plastic bag.

3. Place the bag in your freezer for at least 24hours. Overnight is sometimes enough, but I leave it about a week.

4. Take the bag out of the freezer and leave the battery to return to room temperature. Make sure you wipe off any condensation from the battery contacts before you use it. I just leave them in the sun for a few hours.

5. Fully charge the battery, then run it down again, as low as you can get it. Repeat this charge-discharge cycle a few times, and see if you get a longer life.

 

Your mileage will vary, but two of my 5-year-old batteries are now useful. I get between 2 and 4 hours from one of them, depending on the load on my laptop. You can do this with cellphone batteries, or batteries from lots of other gear.

Thanks Casek : )

[lord_casek]

no problem, i.c.

 

that stuff should improve the performace of

your friends computer, too. getting rid of pop-ups

and spyware always helps.

Hey...

 

It's been a while and I am sure that a lot has changed since I've been gone, but I'll cut to the chase-

 

I'm trying to hook up a friend's comp (XP pro) and I need to get some free apps to clean house on it.....I tried Avast out but it's hung up on the IE temp files and I don't have a whole lot of time to get the job done.

 

Mostly I need a registry cleaner, a firewall, and a spyware/adware blocker.....sorry I fell off for a while there, but that's the way it goes, I guess.....hopefully, I will be back online soon and will have more time to explain what went wrong.

 

Thanks a bunch if you can help me out.......

[Mainter]

CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less that a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)

 

http://www.filehippo.com/download/file/8f8...8241dbb7b02770/

 

when installing besure to unmark install yahoo toolbar they put it in there because it is a free product and they need money

 

 

also when running this program do not check-mark

 

Advanced

Hotfix Unistallers

Custom Files annd Folders

 

 

the issues Tab on the program is a regisry cleaner

 

its a basic one and works just fine run this program daily

 

it will keep your system from adding up information about you and having spyware programs use them

[Guest Sparoism]

Hey, thanks, Mainter...I see you lurking in here....how ya doin'?

[Mainter]

not bad studying for my mcse 70-293 cert

[Guest Sparoism]

Cool...I've been better, but you know.

 

This comp is running a lot smoother now, I'm defragging the HD so we'll see how that goes.

 

Well, thanks again. Tell Casek I said what's up. I'll try to check in more often, shit's been off the chain lately.

[Guest Sparoism]

Mainter, a while back you mentioned ccleaner, but there was some .ini file I had to leave alone in the registry...what was that? Boot.ini?

[Mainter]

Yo Bump You Know this is the number one thread

 

 

this new board fuckin sucks you people should have hired casek and I do redo the site

[Mainter]

um ccleaner has nothing to do with the boot.ini file are you talking about the registry cleaner part of the program?

[Guest R@ndomH3ro]

How do I make Azureus get a better connection? I read the help and it says a about finding ports. What are good ports to listen on? Is it maybe that I am using Norton Firewall? Help a brotha out.

[Mainter]

[Mainter]

go to tools and select NAT/Firewall Test and what does it say what port are you using?

[Mainter]

what version of norton firewall are you using well just go to the setting to open up ports and open port 50156 thats a clean port also go to your windows firewall and open the same port number on there go to azureus tools/otions /connection tab should be the first one if you got thr latest version and type in the 50154 port number then save go back to tools/NAT/Firewall Test and test it if it says anything other then .........OK do the same process over again till you find one you got between 50000-60000 to choose from
