Michael,

If you're using Outlook Express, ( I don't recall what the question was and I don't want to scroll through 46 pages :O) here's one method that can help. Have a look HERE for details.

Great thread. Found a few interesting links here. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute in the near future.
In the meantime, regarding Zone Alarm...I've had a few problems myself lately. It was taking forever to load at Startup and it would never remember any legit programs that were previously run, just to name a couple.
So...does anyone have any worthwhile alternatives? I like to ask this question on a tech forum to get honest opinions. As we all know, the people supplying the Firewall are going to make it sound like it's the best one out there.

CDCheck - Download

I used it to scan my hard drive too. Well to scan the Windows .cab files. Was doing some install and needed to point it to the CD or the files on my PC and I did just that but I keep having trouble and I used CDCheck to scan the Win98 folder and it pointed out two of the .cab files that had I think 5 bad files in them. So I got them from my sister and fixed everything. I did this with the zip (no-install version of CDCheck.


WhyReboot

WhyReboot is a small (~60KB) Windows application that displays a list of pending file operations that will occur after rebooting your computer.

We hope this helps you determine the extent of any post-reboot changes made by an installer.

This utility is available as a free download. No spyware or adware!

No-install needed. Just 3 files in the zip but really just the one program file. Just something to look at if you install something and then see what is going to be done after a reboot.

Hey All,
I got just a second or two to tell one on myself!
I've taken your advice, (thanks to Jerome P.) to swap MOBO's. I'm in the process of swapping a 1.73 AMD and 700+ Ram for a 2.93 Intel and 1024 Ram! Yes I know that "I'm going from AMD to Intel but what the freaking ****"! Hey-that rhymes!

The jist of the story is this-

I plugged everything in and started to load Windows as usual. All was going to plan then I had a message to come up. The message read- "No Hard drive found"!
What the $&#%!! Ok - don't fret just YET!!! Calm Down!
I start playing the game of hide and seek. Going through the bios/cmos and nothing was found! Is it a slave and/or master conflict? Nope. Everything looks fine there. What Now!?!

Remedy-
It seems that in my hastefullness, I found that I'd left out one key ingredient!
P-O-W-E-R to the HDD..!

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!
Signed: Ever have one of those moments!

Got to love small programs that you don't have to install talon03.

A word of warning if you try this program. It runs Spyware Blaster, SpyBot S&D, Lavasoft Adaware, Spyware Doctor, SpySweeper etc. Be SURE that you have a restore point before you install Hitman Pro, because if you Uninstall it, it also takes the above programs with it - even though you had them previously installed - AND you check not to uninstall them during Hitman Pro uninstall. It also leaves some scraps, like program file, etc. on the computer when you uninstall. Guess my point is - be SURE that you want this program - or, if you decide you do not want it, be SURE that you have set a restore point PRIOR to installing it, so you can get your programs back to the way they were before installation of Hitman Pro.

This is not intended as a criticism of the program - it just didn't work for me as I felt "out of control" by the whole procedure. I like to run my programs individually and have time to decide what items to remove or keep.

Hitman pro is NOT approved by most if not all of the programs it installs and it is not an approved program by any means

It can be quite dangerous to use and in fact several antiviruses/anti trojans do detect parts of it as trojans

I agree - however, I have not found any trojans which it left yet. Thanks to Microsoft, I had a good restore point due to Windows Update today - all I lost was a little time putting SpyBot S&D and Lavasoft AdAware back - and removing the remnents of Hitman Pro.

Point is - just be sure what a program does before you install it - and what it does or does not do when you un-install it. I, for one prefer to be in charge of changes to my installed programs and not let another program "take control" as I felt Hitman Pro does. I'm sure some people will find it to suit their needs.

If it is a copyrighted product, posting it here is not allowed. Let's error on the side of caution here. I went to the Farstone link provided, and it appears that DriveClone still appears in their product list. I'm not sure what stretch of the copyright law you are considering in posting what seems obviously to be a commercial product!
