Registry problems? got here http://www.jv16.org/ and download the registry cleaner tool, picks up and deletes all old/non used entries, especially useful after doing an adaware scan as it finds those entries and gets rid.

works for me just fine but as with any registry editing tool be careful, I except no responsibility if your PC suddenly locks up and dies

From the Register

"US CERT (the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team), is advising people to ditch Internet Explorer and use a different browser after the latest security vulnerability in the software was exposed.

A statement on the CERT site said: "There are a number of significant vulnerabilities in technologies relating to the IE domain/zone security model, the DHTML object model, MIME type determination, and ActiveX. It is possible to reduce exposure to these vulnerabilities by using a different web browser, especially when browsing untrusted sites." CERT otherwise recommends users to set security settings to high and disable JavaScript

Malicious code, dubbed variously as "Scob" or "Download.Ject", originally posted last week on a Russian website, could be downloaded secretly onto websites using Microsoft's Internet Information Server 5.0. The code could then be used to log keystrokes made by visitors to the site - so long as they used Internet Explorer as their browser. Information, including passwords, was then to be emailed to the criminals behind the atack.

Microsoft said that it was unaware of widespread consumer impact and noted that the Russian site had been taken offline. It said some enterprise users of Windows 2000 Server, specifically users running IIS 5.0, were being targeted by "Download.Ject". According to MS, this is not a trojan or worm but "a targeted manual attack by individuals or entities towards a specific server". It said users should use a firewall, ensure they have the latest software updates and use anti-virus software.

Bill Gates, Microsoft chairman, called on users to switch on auto-update so that patches would spread faster. Speaking to Reuters in Australia at the weekend, he vowed to "guarantee that the average time to fix will come down. The thing we have to do is not only get these patches done very quickly...we also have to convince people to turn on auto-update." "



Still want to use Internet Explorer?....

If its the same toolbar as one I came across I went to the homepage for it and there was an uninstall program that you download and it did get rid of it! which was surprising, try that and they run all your spyware programs again.

Woohoo - nice one Crabbers. The home page was lop.com and I went there and there was an uninstall program under FAQ which I downloaded and ran, and my blue toolbar has now gone!

So Gwylan, how do I go about getting Opera or Mozilla set up as my browser?

 

[Marc]

good stuff Deano, heres the link for Mozilla (we use it at work and its alright) http://www.mozilla.org/ - think you need to download the Firefox 0.9.1 (latest version last time I checked I think)

never used opera so wont say anything on that.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Thanks again Crabtree. I just loaded Mozilla 1.7 rather than Firefox (which seems to be a pre-release version for them to get feedback on - too techy for me!).

Seems fine to me and if it stops some of the crap that gets on here via my kids then that's great.
