[eBay Phishing]

Beware of e-mails from "members" of eBay, I've received two recently and another one some time ago. They look somewhat realistic and the same thing is happening using PayPal as well.

[CCleaner installed but does not display on all names]

 

To make things quick and easy just do this:

 

1. Start a command prompt (start, run, cmd.exe)

2. Paste into the command prompt window the following parameters:

move "%userprofile%\desktop\ccleaner.lnk" "%allusersprofile%\desktop"

3. Done!

 

you are very knowledgeable

Thanks for the run command

[CCleaner installed but does not display on all names]

Log in as the Administrator.

 

Right click Start > Explore All Users.

Create a CCleaner folder and put the CCleaner shortcuts there.

 

 

Wow that sounds easy thanks.

Now If I understand you correctly .

I go to the Admin User that has CCleaner installed,and I send a shortcut to my desktop,

then I right click the Start key(explore all users) and Drag/copy or Drag/move

that new shortcut(2) to the other Users desktop.

Or as you say place in a folder

Did I get It correctly?

[CCleaner installed but does not display on all names]

Installed ccleaner on a friends XP User #1but the other two XP user names do not display ccleaner as existing on the Start list of software

So what did I do wrong

[Zone Alarm - query]

Hello the Group - reading through the posts - you seem to cover

topics very well. I have a problem with Zone Alarm at the moment:

keep getting a message box saying "Generic Host Process for Win32

Services is blocked from accepting an Internet Coneection."

Could anyone please give advice on this if I gave more background

details ? - the build up to it is fairly lengthy and a bit complicated.

Many thanks in advance.

Here is the setting on my PC- it works for me and should work for you

[Registry Clean up]

I never had a problem deleting everything it found/displayed

[What AntiVirus do you use?]

avast! on one of my PC's

[Would you like this feature]

Some uninstallers do not remove everything

 

My friend uninstalled McAfee internet security and he sees folders and files on his C drive with wording McAfee.

 

So I recommend a search feature in CCleaner to "search and use brute force to remove all files and folder that contain the word in a new CCleaner search bar.

 

This new feature would be an advanced feature to only use

after you run a uninstall

[olfd mcafee fragments remained after un-install]

does anyone have suggestion to delete remaining McAfee internet security off my XP sp2 PC (1G and 160gb Dell computer_?

[place this statement in ccleaner to remove more te]

Searching for above gets lots of temp junk

[CCleaner freeware]

Always a good idea to clean out your temp file every few days or so, especially if you do a lot of progams installing/uninstalling. To do thi manually, just go Start>Run> and type "%temp"              (Without the quotes but WITH the percent signs). This will bring up your temp file.  This can be quite large, and could easily account for the 251mb of data. To clean it, just Select All the files and hit the delete key. You may notice some files don't delete, but throw up an error dialogue. This is just because they are being used by Windows. - Get rid of all of these and your system will run a bit better.

Or you can go to "My Computer" and type

%temp%

to open the temp folder

and here is a picture I made for you.

 

And by the way - I tested the Run and its

%temp%

[old aol and old mcafee cleaner#5]

Would you believe -

I found a feature in my Spybot S&D to remove those old MSCONFIG start up 's

and it worked great. and I see I can also do the same delete in a feature in our CCleaner. - Take a look ---

[old aol and old mcafee cleaner#5]

Should I just Ignore the fact thet OLD AOL and OLd Mcafee cleaner are displayed in my 98se MSCONFIG ( unchecked ) since they are old and removed.

 

I dont know why they stayed after AOL and McAfee was removed

 

[What AntiVirus do you use?]

avast home

[Anti-Virus question]

Hey i was just wondering is there any point to having ore then one anti-virus on your computer. I know one might miss some stuff and the other might find it but other then that is there any good reasons. If there is a good reason to have 2 could some one give me some recommendations for a good free one

Its best to use one anti virus , as others have mentioned here ,two or more resident AV may conflict with each other.

I use Avast! 4 Home version and its been great for me. I turned on the automatic Updates. And they have lots of easy to replace Skins to suit your taste.

I feel very confident in avast AV protection and they have quick answering support on questions I asked them.. Also recommend the avast Forum ..

My former AV was Norton version 2005 internet security and it was using too much of my computer resources , so I removed it couple of months ago.

I have 2 PC's one windows 98 SE with avast AV and the other XP Sp2 that came with McAfee, but I will also place avast on the XP computer ibefore year end.
