    Awesome advice, Luigi mate

    I'd green you, but it seems I've been too generous with me green...
    Exactly what I do to maintain my system... I also format my com every oh..6 months or so... (NOT recommending that) cause you will obviously have to install all your programs, etc again.. bit of a pain in the arse...

    But it does give you a clean slate... kills any nasties the spyware programs sometimes miss... again... just saying that's what I do (cause I'm weird)..

    Not for Terry.. the world will end.

    Update and run all.

    Msconfig and change the startup to nothing.

    Disk Defrag.
    Couldn't have put it better myself. I also recommend Advanced System Care....install and run it....it's free.

    Do you clean and maintain your computer Tezza?

    Have any of the programs I recommended?

    Download programs and click 'okay' at every screen without reading?

    Terry, for fuck's sakes, it's hardly rocket science.

    Simply proceed to Siam Paragon, find the Apple store and plonk down 32,000 baht and pick up a fucking Macbook Air and Bob's your father's brother.

    You will never again have to fuck around with silly boring shit tedious fuckers use to give their pitiful lives some semblance of substance.

    Hurry up and get the get go or whatever it is you antipodeans like to say when you actually learn something.

    Yes I do agree, but some of these guys actually know their shit where as you rarely offer up anything that I can learn from or use.

    You do amuse me at times though, much more than some of the boring Mo-Fo's on here.

    have you tried clearing the cache, or deleting your browsing history and the thousands of cookies you would have accumulated in that time?

    So last night I down loaded your recommendation and let it do it's thing.

    I then went into the putor and cranked up a thingo that said it would delete any shit that I never use.

    My defrag is auto so that's always up to date.

    So here I am now back on Firefox. my log in has worked and I'm holding solid.

    This is the first problem I've had with this putor in 6 years so I ain't complaining.

    HP Pavilion Dv6 by the way.

    Jesus, Internet Explorer is so Anal, in the Dark ages compared to Firefox.

    Thanks for the help.

    Actually, the iPad Pro is due out this month and promises to be something quite wondrous. With its add-on keyboard etc it means the end of PC use for most normal folk.

    There Terry, you've learnt something.

    Terry did you google the reviews on that free program ?

    How are you enjoying your new Yahoo experience?

    Warning; if you download IObit's Advanced System Care you are very likely to download with it the Yahoo Re-direct Rootkit virus. There is no indication and it's downloaded whether you download from CNet or IObit. The virus takes over all your browsers and redirects them to Yahoo. All the browser resetting in the world will not get your browsers away from Yahoo. It's very difficult to eradicate. None of the anti-virus products work. Norton Internet Security missed it and Malwarebytes, Hitman, Stinger & Spybot didn't get rid of it. If you have a System Restore prior to downloading, that might work. It did once for me. The only other way I eradicated it was to use disc imaging software and to re-install an earlier image of the disc. For me, I shall never go anywhere near ASC ever again.

    Well,

    Considering I'm no computer freak I don't go to deep into these things, I rely on you guys to sort shit.

    Before I downloaded that program I deleted and reinstalled Firefox a few times with no luck.

    So then I done what I posted above and today the putor is running sweet and letting me log in.

    Using Yahoo ? foked if I know ?

    Whatever, all's good so far.

    Here's some advice for you Tezza

    Be wary of downloading free programs onto your PC after taking advice on anonymous Travel forums with whore banners, from Australians who talk of Valving car windows.

    Terry, you are really quite naive. Most of us, particularly you, will only ever need something like iPad Pro. It is the future and it is Apple.

    Poodle on down on a slow Silom afternoon to your local IStore and have a play.

    A sign of increasing age is a resistance to change.

    Butterfly would agree and probably most of the techie nerds here. You have infected your computer with a virus that is almost impossible to remove. Well done.

    I do agree with you Dill and that is solid advice.

    But after pissing around using Internet Explorer things could get no worse.

    Thing is,

    If I really fuk the putor up I'll take it down to the boys at Fortune Town and they will sort it out in 3 seconds.

    I've got another Two plus my new Tab so no probs.

    So there ya go, I'm not scared to give things a crack.

    Happy to have been of some help, Terry. I've been using Advanced System Care for 3 or 4 years and have never had a problem with it, nor been directed to Yahoo sites.
    I think extra shit gets sneaked in when people download it from Cnet or Softpedia, rather than the genuine website.



    Perhaps one of the comments from Dillinger's link in post # 37 above, sums it up :

    "I run ASC on several machines and never had these problems. It is now quite common that programs try and get you to install various add ons and that includes 'respectable' programs too. It is a shame that people don't look for these tricks of the trade as they are invariably present and then blame the software. The software writers include these because it is often the only way they generate income so let's not get too hot under the collar about it and take responsibility for looking at the install options carefully instead of just accepting the defaults".


    Terry, now I just have to convince you about the value of bluffing in your inheritance battle and I'll feel I've been really useful. Er....you HAVE seen the gambling scene from the Paul Newman movie Cool Hand Luke ???

    ^^

    Now,

    I'm no Computer freak but I do know enough to only Down Load from the official sight and that's exactly what I did with your information, Worked fine.

    Regards the inheritance gig it's done and dusted, Aint none.

    That pales into significance considering how quickly my Superannuation is spiraling down the Shitter.

    Any chance of a loan.
