Same for November, it's ignored so far. When a topic is locked the forum member can't go back and delete an image. In the past I could call up "My Attachments" and delete the old ones. Don't remember that I ever encountered an undeletable one? For sure I deleted many of the old desktop screenshots. I have 5 images posted on the forum, 2 of which are already undeletable. These 5 take up 29 percent of my quota so I'll have to be careful about attaching things in the future.

Ahhh, well. All the old good stuff is disappearing. Older versions of ADWCleaner & JRT are still available for now. I'm keeping them on a USB storage device against the time when they disappear completely.

Not sure, but it was gone this time. Will try to notice next time. Thanks.

Also, just found out that before logging in, the forum shows me on line when I'm not. I did remember to log out. Did so twice.

I have a couple of attachments I cannot delete. With this new forum software there is no longer a little check box by each attachment, which in the past allowed you to delete several at a time. One shows in My Attachments as AvastUpdates1.jpg. It shows up as attached to a PM to a member named Griswold. As I recall, that PM was deleted a few months ago. There is now no member named Griswold, I think (s)he was deleted a few months ago also. Another shows up In September Desktops. Forum software assigns it the name "post-9581-0-64548300-1505123540.jpg" . The September Desktops Topic is closed now, so I cannot delete that attachment either. So it seems that if a topic or a PM is closed, the attachments are undeletable, and count against the member's quota. Will that not eventually exhaust the members quota? If that situation is permanent, I'll have to be more careful about where i attach an image.

I know, I know, it wasn't peer reviewed, might not have controlled all the variables, etc., but . . . it's my best excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Well, my cell phone is rotting my brain, my router is broadcasting signals that destroy cress seeds, and now these vast white expanses are ruining my vision. Other than that, everything is just fine. FINE I'm tellin' ya, JUST FINE. About those cress seeds, see here: http://ofthebox.org/wifi-experiment-done-group-9th-grade-students-got-serious-international-attention/

Must break with my curmudgeon tradition, "If it's new it's bad" and say I like this new look. More crisp, easier to read. Only quibble is the absence of post numbers. Well, that and the vast areas of white space. That's wearing my mouse wheel out. But it makes everything easier to read, I guess.

Yes, that works. That share link is very pale grey here, bit hard to see. However I have not yet figured out how to reveal the post number. All through the forum there are posts that refer back to a post number such as "See post 8 on page 1". Those will have little meaning now.

Would like to see the post numbers.

Bit off topic, but, Andavari, I'm using ff portable ver 48.01 here on xp. It works on every site I visit, and is a bit faster than most of the newer versions.

Me too. When I first read that, I thought maybe some consultant might have assumed the alert was triggered by the included Google software. That has happened in the past. Maybe they thought it was just that again. To be sure, I have read everything I can find about this and did not find any responsible malware investigator who wrote it off as insignificant. Certainly the Piriform folks did not. Where DID you get that information? Not challenging you, not arguing, just asking.

WMI is running here.

Fwiw, I just installed CCleaner Free 5.35.6210 on this win xp home machine. Then did all of mta's steps except deleting the existing restore points and disabling system restore. - CCleaner found all the restore points that were shown by system restore, 6 of them. - Then I created 2 more restore points and when I restarted CCleaner it found them also. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this, so will bow out, but maybe the above info will be useful.

New version of REVO Uninstaller is available, 32 or 64 bit The 32 bit portable works as advertised here on xp, haven't tried the 64 bit yet. https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

They do indeed. Need a gyro stablilzer for those cameras.

Never got the translation thing to work, but there are more videos to be seen. They use a lot of RAM on this old xp machine. yuk yuk. Check out Shipview this page. http://www.visitfaroeislands.com/sheepview360/

I couldn't get the translation to work either. There's a rechaptcha thing at lower right but it doesn't work either.

Frustrated that the archipelago had been overlooked by Google's Street View mapping service, Visit Faroes set up Sheep View last year to create an ovine tour of the islands. Residents of the Faroe Islands have launched a virtual tour of the archipelago by strapping a 360-degree camera onto the backs of sheep.

I didn't mean for post 279 to sound as sarcastic as it does when I re-read it. It as a pitiable attempt at humor. Someday I'll learn . . . Anyway, maybe "1st Question ..." is asking how to calculate hash sums? Great software for calculating hash sums offline is Nirsoft's Hash My Files. Free, no installation, fast.

Thanks. Good to know. I couldn't decide between that and inversion of control. I had pretty well ruled out International Olive Council.

Nergal has said the most important thing: AVs will now flag the infected installers. Avast just went panicky here when I tried to submit that installer to Virustotal. I don't know what IOC means. I don't know what "1st question: get these official checksums." means. 2nd question: The hash for CCleaner533_slim is the 7th one down on that list. 4f8f49e4fc71142036f5788219595308266f06a6a737ac942048b15d8880364a It isn't listed by that name, it is just called CCleaner - installer (v5.33.0.6162) I checked it. Its slow to check all those manually, but if you have a SHA256 hash you want to check you can submit it to Virustotal. You can also submit a questionable file, or you can scan the file with an av to see if it is safe.

Hi, mrdimly. Confusion is understandable, imho. If you go to this avast blog post and scroll about three quarters down there is a list hashes known to be compromised. They are for CCleaner 5.33 and some others. https://blog.avast.com/additional-information-regarding-the-recent-ccleaner-apt-security-incident edit to include picture: First part of the list looks like this: 19 nov 17 edit to remove picture

Wellll, I think maybe the OP has three possible agendas. 1. To appear clever by asking questions which seem clever, or 2. To continue to promote the idea that malicious files are floating around unidentified, or 3. To continue to control the attention of forum members and readers and moderators. Neither of the three is likely to succeed. 1. Asking the same questions repeatedly is a waste of time. Same for quarreling with the answers. 2. Piriform & Avast have posted much information about this event. Very technical explanations are available for any who search. 3. Unless something important develops I shall retire from this topic.
