Jan: I finally had some updates to apply, so I was able to capture screen shots of the windows I was trying to describe a few weeks ago.

1. Here's the first screen I get when I click on the  in the system tray. The default is "Express Install (Recommended)", but I select "Custom Install (Advanced)" and then click "Install"

1

2. The next screen lists the updates available and all are initially checked. Here I have unchecked the KB922582 update and then clicked Install.

2

3. This is where I get the option to never be notified about the unchecked updates ever again

3

4. Just check the box and OK and they will be gone forever

Twinkie: If I start Nero express and select to create an audio CD, the program allows me to add WMA files. I have never burned from a WMA files, but it looks like it will work and should automatically convert the file.

If your CD played supports playing MP3s, then you could select to burn an MP3 disk and you will get many more songs on the CD. Nero will tell you how much space you have left, so just keep adding songs until the bar shows close to full.

Nero should complain if you attempt to add a file format that it can not handle.

Thanks, Bob! I don't have an MP3 player so hopefully I can just burn an audio CD from the WMA file. Thanks for your help!

The last few times I have tried to look at something from youtube, it shows that the video is loading..and loading..and loading, but it never comes up. Any clues?

Hi all. I browsed around but didn't easily see anything related to the "Quick Links" button at the top left side of this site. (The button that looks like the world). I have always loved it and use it but for the past several weeks it hasn't been working. I don't see any references to it being out of order - does it work for everyone else? Is it just me?

BigD: Since the MySQL database has been disabled, quite a few of the features that I have created no longer work. I've replaced the new superlinks with the old quicklinks so that it's still somewhat useful. Until we can get back onto the database system, these things just won't work.

I'm really sorry about this situation. We're trying to find a solution but nothing new as yet.

I use AVG Free and Ad-Aware. My dd found Xoftspy v4.22 and wanted to know if I wanted to sign up for it. It's not free. My question is... If you have heard of it and would it be worthwhile to get it?
Thanks in advance.

Here's what I was able to discover about Xofspy from a message posted on the forums at SpyWare Warrior:
Note on XoftSpy: XoftSpy was listed on [Rogue/Suspect Anti-Spyware] because of concerns with false positives (1, 2, 3, 4), questionable license terms, and the use of aggressive, deceptive advertising (1, 2), including exploitation of the name "spybot" by affiliates. Earlier versions of XoftSpy were also Ad-aware knockoffs. (There was clone of XoftSpy named SpyBurn, but that application is no longer available.)

Over the past few months, XoftSpy has taken aggressive steps to reign in its affiliates (who were primarily responsible for the unsavory advertising), revised its license text, and released a new version of XoftSpy (version 4.0) that addresses our concerns with false positves. Given these changes we can no longer regard XoftSpy as "rogue/suspect" anti-spyware.

Domains: paretologic.com

(Note: other domains associated with XoftSpy include: adware-destroyer.com, adware-elimination.com, adwarekillers.com, adware-real-free-scan.com, adwares.net, anti-adware.net, antispywares.com, deletespyware.net, nomorespyware.net, removespyware.net, softspy.net, softwho.com, spywarebest.com, spyware-detection.net, spywareprof.com, spywarepurge.com, spywarerem.com, spywareremoval.net) [A: 6-26-04 / U: 12-7-04]


It appears they have upgraded the opinion of Xoftspy to being passingly acceptable as a tool and not as rogue or malicious as it was when it was first introduced.

Thank you Draheid. I use the ones here that you recommended, which is nice since free. She ran the free trial from xoftspy and said it looked like it found a lot of stuff that her spyware didn't find. I'm always leary of adding something new to my computer. I think she needs to check into it more before paying for it.

I believe I may be 'infected' with a keylogger. The last few weeks I have been unable to log into any area of my Yahoo account, EXCEPT that Yahoo Instant Messenger is still available and no problem logging on. Overall internet performance has also slowed, + difficulty logging into other accounts. Can you advise me of any software that is free/inexpensive that might be able to detect/remove/correct the problem?

Suz, until somebody more knowledgeable gets here, have you updated and then run Adaware? If not, do that.

I'm presuming you have your AVG set to automatically update and run a virus scan every day.

Actually, question is for my dd on her computer... She asked ? using my computer because of problems she's having on hers. She downloaded AVG a while back, but was unable to get it to install. She has McAffee & AdAware - updated and run regularly, but don't find anything except some cookies/dataminers once in a while from just normal internet use. Thx Juju & Thank you for any help that anybody can offer!

well, well. after over two weeks of complaining and then posting about it here Monday, Yahoo has finally gotten their act together.

as of about 5 minutes ago, my mailbox is overloaded with old emails and my comics, tv listings and airfare tracker are all back up and running. so, i am inclined to think it was them.

now, off to read all those emails! LOL

I want to send an email to many people. (An invitation w/graphics. It is a PDF.) Is 1.4 mb too big to send? Is there a maximum size that is recommended?

I've tried downloading the avg upgrade but it got "stuck" with 3hr30min to go. A lot of the pages I go to are loading slow. Does anyone else here have Advanced System Optimizer? What registry cleaners do you guys use?
