OK. thanks

Thanks for your quick reply.

How do I private message Giorgio?

I renewed my Uniblue SpeedUpMyComputer, they gave me a new serial number, I copied it into the proper field, and their system wouldn't accept the serial number. I called their 800 number and they told me they would have to share my computer screen in order for them to activate my renewal. I said I w...

Hi, Barbaz, In the past four weeks I have read hundreds of websites and forums and at least five books, including Turings Cathedral and Ghost in the Machine. I understand a little bit of why computers are the way they are and I think the human race is certifiably insane to run our governments, banks...

@ barbaz "Are you double sure that you have a backup that was done before you saw these symptoms, and that there's nothing else you couldn't restore that isn't backed up? (Rootkit is not likely to reside there, but it's still possible.)" My backup from before I saw these symptoms and my ba...

I ran AdwCleaner again and the report looked pretty much the same. In the meantime I read about rootkits and Malwarebyte Anti Rootkit Beta: Malwarebytes says what you said -- danger, use at your own risk. Can I get rid of rootkits by wiping the computer and overwriting the disc? Rootkits are in the ...

@ therube I did the entire protocol and it worked beautifully -- for a day. Then Firefox got slow, didn't respond, froze and froze my computer. So I did the protocol again, and found that Vosteran is really gone. So I have another problem, but neither Malwarebytes nor Hitmanpro is identifying it. Do...

The italics got out of hand there. Sorry.

I believe this is a site typically referenced at mozillazine.org, but I would go there first & have a look to verify: How to remove Vosteran.com Search (Removal Guide) . Your link goes to malwaretips.com, and they are very thorough. I have at least a couple of hours work ahead of me, but I will...

I reset Firefox and re-installed No Script. The green Install button didn't work, so I looked around for another way, made a mistake, and got an avalanche of junk. Got rid of most of it, but Vosteran persists. Their web site, vosteran.com has a Remove button. Can I trust them? Will their Remove butt...

It is annoying not to be able to re-install No Script from the home page, but the worst thing is the Firefox message. It doesn't say, "You can't get there from here," or ,"Please go to Addons.Mozilla.org". It says, "This add on could not be downloaded because of a connection...

I have reset Firefox twice (twice!!!) today, and when I tried to install No Script with the big green Install button I had a message from Firefox with an Allow button. The Allow button gave me a message that Firefox could not install No Script because of an error in No Script. So I poked around and ...

The site I am talking about is accessfayetteville.org -- for some reason I have to type "accessfayetteville" in to my search engine to get there. At the top of the page there is a huge, red link to the Fayetteville Alert System, and directly to the right of that is a small, gray link to Th...

The one I got when I bought No Script and dug out before reinstalling No Script. Erm.. NoScript is free software, it's not for sale... Here's what happened. I downloaded NoScript and liked it so much, I thought anything Giorgio recommended might be good, too. So I looked at Uniblue, liked it, and b...

The one I got when I bought No Script and dug out before reinstalling No Script. Erm.. NoScript is free software, it's not for sale... I upgraded to the paid version -- three computers for 1 year, $29.00. :) In the meantime, I can't get Java Script to work. Is No Script blocking it? It is not in th...
