  1. Microsoft has already released a fix. I think it'd be better to get that one. ;)

     

    It's on Microsoft Windows Update right now. :D

     

     

     

    Of course you are correct tarun.......I was asleep at the switch. Still not available with my updater. Server likely JAMMED!

  2. email to my self just now from aShampoo...No spyware/malware etc. Lyle

    ===============================================================

    We have created a fix for the WMF vulnerability and all users can

    download it now FREE to protect their computers against this

    extremely serious hazard. This solution has been developed by the

    team working on our innovative new security tool Ashampoo AntiSpyWare,

    which is going to be released on 8 February (advance orders can be

    placed starting on 6 January).

     

    The fix is a small program that reliably protects you against the

    WMF vulnerability, preventing hackers from being able to infect

    and take over your computer with WMF graphics. You don?t need to

    restart your computer and it doesn?t change anything in your system.

    This means that you can also install the Microsoft fix next week

    without fear of incompatibilities.

    FREE SOLUTION FOR THE WINDOWS WMF VULNERABILITY

     

    Dear Ashampoo User,

     

    All Windows XP versions and possibly also Windows 2000 are affected

    by the extremely dangerous ?WMF vulnerability? discovered last week.

    Even having Service Pack 2 and all Microsoft security patches and

    updates provides no protection.

     

    This vulnerability enables hackers to install and run any program code

    they want on your PC -- all you have to do is display a WMF graphics

    file in a browser or any other program. This means that your computer

    can get infected just by visiting a website and displaying an image

    (WMFs an easily be hidden as JPGs, GIFs or other formats).

     

    This vulnerability is NOT restricted to Internet Explorer or any one

    program. ANY browser and ANY program that can display a WMF file can

    infect your computer.

     

    Unbelievable but true: Microsoft has admitted the problem but say they

    are not going to release a fix until next Tuesday, together with their

    regular patches.

     

    ASHAMPOO HAS A SOLUTION NOW!

  3. Eldmannen....... Downloaded the .iso Puppy Linux file yesterday and burned it to a bootable CD. Really looks interesting, and will be some challenging fun for the near future. Puppy seems fairly simple and a good stepping stone to the full blown version. Please explain shell account????

  4. The main site has been redesigned slightly as the old style was getting a bit dated.

     

    Hope you all like it. :D

     

    (I'll update the forum later today)

    Very nice, clean interface. Well done!

  5.  

    <_< I am using Windows ME with ccleaner, and System Restore works admirably. I have had to use it several times over the past year...... (due to my own stupidity). It occassionaly asks to reboot prior to using it.......but does work! I'm not sure I would remove it, but do await Tarun's answer??

    B) rridgely ........Thanx for the heads-up .......a great word processor with nice features, especially grammar checking on the go. Beats my old "Word-pad.exe" Microsoft Works, on my old Windows ME.

  8. AVG does have a uninstall option.....Start/Programs/AVG/Uninstall AVG Free Edition for Windows. You might give that a go.

     

    I have been using AVG Free for almost a year and have never had to reboot after downloading an update. (As Yet) AVG 7.1 is available soon, coming in 2 parts updatable starting Oct 24th I believe.
