  1. Hi Guys thanks for the replies..it`s looking more like Ebay I think,There`s not much in the preferences to opt out of in relation to the ebay page settings,

    With CCleaner I do`nt have every box ticked in the windows section and I`ll list what is unchecked,I`m not really sure what a lot of them do so if you think I should have these checked as a good idea I would appreciate the feedback...

    so items unchecked are

    dns cache

    ftp accounts

    start menu shortcuts

    In Advanced

     

    old prefetch data

    menu order cache

    tray notification cache

    window size /location cache

    user assist history

    IIs log files

    hot fix uninstallers

    wipe free space

  2. Hi

     

    After I have run CCleaner my assumption is that all my browsing history will have disappeared, however those pesky people at Ebay seem to be able to keep recent searches and suggestions of similar items i might be interested in when I don?t want them too!( especially with Christmas shopping coming to the fore)the very next time I re visit the site Is there some tick box in CCleaner that would include such browsing history to clear EBay searches and history ?

    Or is it something embedded in Ebay ?

    any feedback appreciated

  3. Hazelnut ! thanks for that link !! it doesn`t look like it`s worth that much a 1943 farthing !

     

    But I do have some old coins kicking about the house so i`m going to check them !!

     

    Thanks again ! :)

  4. Ishi sounds like you have a doppleganger !!

    One weird story I have about the house I live in is one new years day in the morning I found a coin on the cooker hob top..no idea how it got there..and even more strangely it was a farthing,an old English coin with a picture of a wren on the back..I then read an article later called "pennies from heaven" this guy talked about people finding coins suddenly..so I wrote to him and he seemed to thing the bird was part of the mystery.Well

    I`m always looking for logic in life so the only explanation i could come up with was the coin had fallen into the top of the oven(grill section) some time ago and then gradually fallen out of the top onto the hob !

     

    Well I do`nt fully know the answer but I still have the coin and its here with me today !

    Your lucky if they do`nt mind each other when "Millie" arrived a small grey kitten Fluffy the cat nearly left home,there not so bad now but sometimes Fluff hisses and doesn`t want to be in the same room,but they tollerate each other,Millie was like Hemmi she ate an ate and now one year later she`s the size of a small dog!

     

    It`s good if you can get them to play together...if you have a "Target"store near you,(they are in Chigago and New York area,) they have "Candy Canes" in the pet dept..the cats go mad for them and forget any grief and play together !

  7. Hello Guys

    Just thought I would update this thread,if you remember I was having probelms with the monitor/keyboard powering up..well after a while even using the reset button was becoming a hit and miss affair to start the computer.Well one day it would just not work.So it went to the computer shop for a look !.The motherboard had finally gone,so the computer has been repaired ! new motherboard,and a few other bits ! the good news is as well I`ve gone form a measly 40gb to 500gb hardrive,

    I have most of my system back as it was,on another note the guys in the shop suggested and put on Microsoft Security Essentials (I used to have Avast free)and I`m giving that a try,

    but boy did I miss not having a computer !!! how long could you guys go without one !!

  9. Tiger..

    i wrote that "I" was not party to any fraud or illegal activity,but my account "was" used by someone who transferred money from another account then withdrew it to one of their choosing,I never got any warning emails, I reported strange activity to Paypal ,they returned my money to my account ,sadly I never got an update to know if they caught the person.

     

    What is scary is the amount of times you give your credit card number out you have no control of where it ends up !

  10. Hi Tigerllc74,

    I have experienced fraud in the sense that my Paypal account was used to transfer funds in and out of it,No way was I party to any fraud or illegal activity.I beleive this was done when i picked up a virus,the only password stored on my computer was that of paypal and thats how it was compromised.The virus didn`t come via email though

  11. I found a method using hair spray - apparently it stiffens them up and kills them. It works really well - thanks for everyone's advice!

    This reminds me of an old joke by Tommy Cooper(english comedian) who didn`t want to kill the flies..so he sprayed them with starch...and they glided out of the window...just like that....

  12. A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part.
