You mean octopi?
octopus + octopus = 3.14 (or octopi)

You are 100% correct JD. I ran a quick malware scan using Malwarebytes and it confirmed RegTidy 2009 to be rogue software.
I performed a complete uninstall. Hmm...the only software I selected so far from the Giveaway of the Day turned out to be rogue.

One more useless fact to store in our "useless information" brain cells:
The elephant is the only mammal that can't jump.

A couple of weeks ago, both my wife and I were very sick with the flu - not Swine Flu but a regular flu. It lasted about 1 week. Next week we are both getting the Swine Flu vaccine.
Hope you feel better soon ident. Try some hot water with lemon and honey, as well as Chicken Noodle soup - it helped to make us feel better when we were sick.

Thank you Hazel for the news of this update.
I have had this program installed for some time and silly me, I had forgotten about it. When I downloaded Karen's Replicator some time ago it had good reviews, I assume the same is true today.
Do you use it on a regular basis?

In my opinion Joanie, Firefox is much much better than any IE version. You are correct - "Mozilla" is the name of the company and "Firefox" is the name of the browser.
You should never uninstall IE. Microsoft has cleverly (clever for them, not for users) integrated IE into Windows; therefore your Windows operating system will not function properly without IE. But many users (including myself) had severe problems with IE 8 and had to uninstall it and go back to IE 7.

Excellent work Andavari - more than 10,000 times - amazing!
I'm sure I speak for all, we're glad that you're a key fixture on this forum!

I personally use this forum as my home page. I always check this forum on my cyberspace travels anyway so I decided that I may as well start here.

The same companies' Free Game Of The Day can be as hazardous. Take care out there. The word "Free" seems to follow a pattern of evil. Ever notice that?
So Corona, it sounds like you think it's best not to bother with any of the free offers from this site, is that correct?
-
Yup, and he's saved many people from the download the other day that's deemed a rogue software.
The only software I have downloaded so far from the "Giveaway of the Day" website was RegTidy 2009. Hopefully this is not what you were referring to Andavari.

Thank you Hazel, as per that post I was able to fix the problem by deleting the cookie to My MSN and signing back in. I used CCleaner to delete the cookie but first had to move it from the exclude list. After signing back into My MSN I put the cookie back on the exclude list in CCLeaner. I tried a couple of times and now there is no problem with the page. Weird how a cookie can cause a problem like that, I guess it was corrupted somehow.
-
so you get the same problem as her when visiting the page?
Yes, I guess I do - just don't care because I don't use MSN as my home page.
-
I think Razz you have to just treat the downloads with the same caution you would anything else. Also do they install toolbars (without you knowing), are they full featured giveaways etc.
You're right Hazel, good point.

to me is ok..ibut first i check ashra,or asfram's comments..and the rest of the comments.
Sorry aqua, what comments are you referring to?

Hello, according to your screen shot she is.
Sorry ident, that was misleading, that screenshot was taking on my PC (I use nonscript, but she doesn't on her PC).
-
Is she using noscript? There latest release i have had to disable since it constantly blocks half of some of my pages even with full permissions
No, she is not using noscript.

My wife's My MSN (i.e. her home page) is now not displayed correctly when she uses Firefox. It used to be OK but not recently. The page is displayed as a blank. Has anyone had the same problem? Any ideas how to correct this problem?
The image below shows what she is currently getting when loading My MSN:

I know that some of you frequent this website and occasionally download the Giveaway of the Day (http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/).
What is your opinion - i.e. is it worth checking this site for their giveaways, any problems etc.?

It's a 2 phone set - a base unit and an extra phone. Works great!
-
Big fan of Avast here. Zero problems.

We decided on Uniden, which we bought yesterday. Charged the batteries overnight and all working great. Thank you for the advice.
-
I agree, simple and clean - nice job so far AJ!

You are so so very right Hazel!

I find Monk a delightful little gem in TV land.
