Hey Ben-

Just letting you know that I love this thread. I keep it bookmarked and read all the updates for whenever I get a WinME machine to work on (most are XPs currently). Some really helpful stuff here.

By the way, I love how you format your posts (with the links mostly). I'm just too lazy to do that Mostly, all I take the time to do is throw some random links in as URLs, but yours are so much easier to read and just overall better. Great job with the whole thread and collection of info.

[aarhus2004]

Hello Joe,

That was precisely what I needed to lift my spirits. In consequence I found myself in one of my favourite places. I call it Lost. I started off in Wild Peru and, liking what I could see, stayed awhile and reflected on places we have called Home and places we do call Home and the people forever associated with them.

Your impulses do you credit and your posts give pleasure..

Thank-you, Joe.

Ben

McAfee's Site advisor had this to say about the download site (the above link) here.

"Security Best Practices . . ." here (in this forum) by BobJam (BJ) (together with the input of others) making for interesting, informative and concise reading on fundamental security issues and practices.

And finally:

Hello Zee,

No, this one.

Thanks for the input nonetheless.

Can you help with my post in All Other Software? Here. I don't know how to proceed short of a format/install. Please.
Or this one in Web and Email?

Thanks, Zee.

Hello WinME Users,

I must give credit to jeffD006 (jeff) who found this tool.

On this most interesting and comprehensive list of freewares available website here. And under:
Internet Freeware Utilities

Available here, this tool will copy entire or part of (user designated) websites with ease and without problem for the user. I use it so I can say that with confidence.

I hope you too, will enjoy and benefit from using it.

Cheers.

Ben.

P.S. If you use Panda On-Line Scan and Firefox and Panda reports Foxfire cookies in your Appliication folder like these:

Incident Status Location

Spyware:Cookie/Com.com Not disinfected C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\8ho2x01u.default\cookies.txt[.com.com/]
Spyware:Cookie/Atlas DMT Not disinfected C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\8ho2x01u.default\cookies.txt[.atdmt.com/]
Spyware:Cookie/2o7 Not disinfected C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\8ho2x01u.default\cookies.txt[.2o7.net/]
Spyware:Cookie/Overture Not disinfected C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\8ho2x01u.default\cookies.txt[.overture.com/]

"don't worry be happy ignore Panda it's no grizzly."

It's just acting out.

Wouldn't you know?

[aarhus2004]

Hello WinME Users,

Although I have had some minor incidents of the refusal of the 'deleteds' to seek a home on the "blank" parts of the hard disk nothing has prepared me for this sterner refusal as experienced by idar (on his WinMe machine) in his thread here.

In case you prefer the shorter approach:

Here is the problem as stated.

Here is the problem's solution (by Blue Zee) and here is idar's confirmation.
And if you are puzzed about how the word "trash" came up - look here.

One for this record, I think.

Hello WinMe Users,

This post, in the main, is for those users of WinMe who have years of experience of using this particular operating system and have some confidence in their ability to resolve most of the problems they encounter - of all kinds. For them it is essentially a review of a freeware and a source of a reasonably good assessment of the output of a very common freeware which we use.

For other users whose normal experience is of the Nasties associated with taking the many risks associated with using the net I urge you to read Cookiegal's Sticky and locked Post here, and the Sticky posts above it also.

I have found that when my system is running well (most of the time) I have the opportunity to explore further ideas for material for this thread of mine which grows and grows (the summaries taking longer and longer!). I take pleasure in this.

I offer now a review of a piece of freeware (in the true sense of the word - although purchase is possible of some 'advanced features'). I regret I cannot give credit to the post in these forums which introduced me to it. I have, simply, forgotten.

SUPERAntiSpyware (Free edition)

This freeware is one portion of a software offered by Superadblocker.com.
Attached please find a gif of the GUI of the freeware.

Snapfiles (famous in my book for their lists of freewares of quality - I trust them implicitly) but enough background!

I am using this freeware regularly - therein lies the contradiction - for my security philosophy suggests I don't use any, however this is not to say I am not interested in it. For I am. I am enjoying checking it out and so far I think it excellent. Read some reviews of it (scroll down the first Snapfiles link given above).

I have long used Merijn's HijackThis (current and final version 1.99.1 here). because I like the idea of having a check of precisely what is loaded onto my computer in terms of helper objects, my own Trusted Sites list and much more. I am aware that the analisys of the output log of HJT is best left to the security qualified however I decline to believe in the implication that the rest of us cannot learn. However, that said, I find it interesting to see what sites have to say about what I know to be safe, and currently am offering this site my HJT logs for analysis. The site is, so far, right-on with its summation.

Cheers,

Ben.

see my post above or click here.

Hello WinMe Users,

This old man grows forgetful. Herewith THE GUI and others. I like this freeware more and more - it is so undemanding simple and efficient.

The cookie atdmt.com comes courtesy the BBC who ignored my email of weeks ago. So I was aware of that one.
The other, 2o7[2].txt is new to me.

Hello WinMe users,

If you are not, as yet, using the Firefox browser - well, I can understand your reluctance. I have resisted doing so for at least 3 years. This in fact is being created on I.E.6. and I wonder just how much longer I shall persist in having the instead of the on my desktop.

Sometimes posting images in the body of a post can speak volumes and perhaps more effectively than can a slew of words. It is a very handy tool.

The vB code as outlined here mentions it alphabetically located under [img] Images. Above this, and any 'create' post window, is this symbol and all we need to do is to place the URL of the image between the [IMG] and the [/IMG] by choosing, in Mozilla Firefox, "Copy Image Location" and in Internet Explorer "Properties > Address (URL)".

This is a website page URL http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6934548.stm

In Mozilla Firefox a right click on the image and chosing 'Copy Image Location' yields:

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image..._afp203bod.jpg

and in Internet Explorer right clicking on the image offers the same link but one which is accessed by clicking on 'Properties' and copying the URL 'Address (URL)' therein i.e.:

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image..._afp203bod.jpg

This is an extra step in I.E. but the result is the same, and either will, of course, if placed between [IMG] [/IMG] tags show this picture:

A useful tip? I hope. So how did I do it here in Internet Explorer? I 'created' (using screen capture) the images you see above and transferred them to a website I maintain and linked to them in that website by merely copying their URL. (of the page displaying them - this is one of them here) - a very roundabout process. And one that was clearly ridiculous - so I have found out!

I attach the substance of my original post (now deleted) in the .txt file below.

My thanks to lotuseclat79 (Tom) for putting me on the right path.

Cheers,

Ben.

[ekim68]

Thanks again Ben. I've been using Firefox for several years now and I've pretty much just stuck with the basics. You given me new toys to play with now.

[aarhus2004]

Bumpity, bumpity and bump, for Mike and all the other WinMe users.

[aarhus2004]

Hello WinMe users,

An error on my part has rendered the POST 295 above meaningless (in part), owing to the absence of some critical imagery.

So I have rectified this and the post is now correctly displayed in my quote of it below.

And I wish to take this opportunity to direct you (if you haven't yet taken advantage of it) to the thread in this forum here. All credit to DNA_Uncut. From the member's responses it appears that these steps (as outlined by DNA_Uncut) do, in fact, speed-up the loading of pages on Mozilla Firefox.

I hope to have more to say on this since it has been one of the seeming limitations of Firefox. Perhaps it (the speed-up) can be measured?

Best wishes.

Ben.

Hello WinMe users,

The thirty-day period having passed since I installed Instant Lock- Lite edition from PCWin here I can now advise that it is indeed a genuine freeware version. The only thing we must must endure in the deliberately slow closure of the 'nag screen' when the Close button is used. A small price since this is not a tool one would use all that often. The delay is a matter of some ten seconds - so I find.

Cheers.

Ben.

Hello again, WinMe users,

With regard to the speeding-up of Mozilla Firefox (see quote above), the thread mentioned proceeded, as threads tend to do, with more information and an addition to the (elaborate) fix offered by DNA_Uncut - and I, being lazy, opted to use it. I refer to this post in that thread here. Thanks, RSM123, for the link to the download of the "Firefox Preloader".

However I urge those of you, who may not be entirely comfortable with the I.E./Firefox differences, to download and use the FirefoxPreloaderSetup.exe which is located under 'File Releases' (see attached gif). Install is easy.

Do I detect any change in the speed of page-loading? Well yes and no. In other words I like to think so but am not certain! But as important, is that I notice no snags. So go for it.

Cheers.

Ben.
