Pop-Up Windows
How does one get rid of pop ups. I get a lot of dating
service, sex, reducing and loan pop ups. It is most
annoying when I am in the middle of a letter or game and
one of these windows over rides whatever is on the
screen.It is also embarrassing to return to my computer
several hours later and find a sex ad in the middle of my
screen. I've been able to use the "My
Computer...Add/Remove programs" on a couple. But, most of
these new pop ups don't appear on the add/delete program
screen (at least not in any form I can recognize) so I
can't remove them. Where can they be found, haw are they
recognizable from regular program items (ie. do they have
a peculiar file extension etc.) and how do I get rid of
them. If there is no easy way, is there a program that
will do the trick. Tag: testing Tag: 23430

Hacked?!
Just got on my computer, and when I try to access internet
options, I get a message saying that access is not allowed
and that I should contact my system administrator (me!)
I can only assume that someone is messing with me.
Any help or ideas would be gratefully received.

strange error
We have about 5 NT machines that have been acting very
strangly over the last few months. It started with one
and seemed to "spread" to the others over a few weeks. I
was checking the Event log on 2 of them, and they both
have the same error several times in the same day, It read
The browser has received an illegal datagram from the
remote computer QA771C to name OUR_COMPUTER on transport
Nwlnk. The data is the datagram.
I replaced our computers name for security reasons. The
remote computer had many different names, I counted 9, and
it looks to be something like a port scan or something
like that, because I have gotten this error over 50 times
in under 20 minutes. Any thoughts would be greatly
appreciated. Tag: testing Tag: 23421

Access 2000
I will TRY to make this as short as possible.
I needed to get a very large(350 meg) MS Access DB from
one place to another, which means from moving it from one
LAN to another. After receiving the DB via CD, quite a few
of the objects(macros, forms, etc..) aren't there. Is this
due to the DB have security applied to it ?
I also had the security files copied to the CD as well. Is
there a way to reconnect the security ? Will this help out
the situation at all ? Any other suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.

security not easy to get
It's not easy to find your way around in the growing
digital world. Not everybody is as advanced as others and
that's o.k., it has always been that way in evolution.
Security is around as long there is life on earth. Each
individual has it's own way of security.
In the 21 century we have to deal with a digital security.
My question:
How secure you find internet?
Do you trust completely on it?
Do you have your doubts about it?
What's your security failure experience on the internet?
just curious,

I've gotten great advice here in the past on where to

Most of my pop ups are ads for software that will stop

email security
It used to be (I think) that opening an e-mail was safe as
long as you didn't open attached files.
Now I'm hearing people can use code to get into your
system which is unseen and contained in the body of the e-
mail and simply opening this e-mail to read it can unleash
this code.
What I'd like to know is if you are at risk simply by
opening an e-mail that has no file attached to it. And
what can I do to prevent this, short of not opening e-
mails? Tag: testing Tag: 23300

Messanger Service Pop Ups
Am getting pop ups in middle of screen under
title "Messanger Service". Most are selling software to
fix a "glitch" in Microsoft's Windows Messanger installed
in Windows 2000, NT or XP, or so they claim. Also get a
few of same type of pop ups not selling anything but
wanting to chat. How do I get rid of these unwanted pop
ups. My AOL "Blocking Pop ups" doesn't work on this
problem. What does? Tag: testing Tag: 23268
can i stop web page redirection
ok.
The problem:
Some one changed a file in my IE program Files.
Reason I came to this conclusion:
First: my search page was changed from the msn search
page to www.white-pages.ws. They did a good job too. When
I went to click customize search it opened the same page
in a new window; very clever.
Solved this by downloading upgrade of IEv5.5 to IE v6.02
and blocking web page by putting in the restricted sites
under Internet Options/Security Tab, restricted Icon.
Second: I tried viewing a geocities.com site and was
redirected to www.white-pages.ws. So I typed in
www.geocities.com and the page came up. Now when I typed
in www.geocities.com/ (note: added the back slash to
indicate subdirectory) and it came up with white page ws
again.
So I went offline and deleted the temporary internet
(all off-line content) and cookies then placed in the
address bar www.geocities.com ... unable to pull up page
off-line. I then typed in www.geocities.com/ and poof,
the page shows up.
I assume it is like the 404 Error page and I just don't
know what the name of the file is. I had another website
change that in a previous version IE.
Questions:
Is there a place where you can find out the name of
these files or where they are stored? ie. 404 Error,
Search page, and so on.
Is there any way to stop web redirection? So that
instead of being redirected to www.white-pages.ws.com it
will ask or prevent the redirection.
Is there a way to fix this problem, or is it a standard
Window's reformat and reinstall issue?
I thank you for your time. A response would be more than
greatly appreciated. Tag: testing Tag: 23261
Pop-up ad filtering
I have Windows ME. In the past week I have had a flood of
pop-up ads, some of which are very offensive. We are using
Comcast broadband for Internet connection. In one answer
to a related question I was informed some versions of
Windows have an Admin Tool called Messenger than can be
turned off to discourage these pop ups. I can't find
Messenger on my system.
*Is there something in Windows that I can adjust to fix
the problem or am I going to have to buy a pop-up filter?
*If the latter, which ones do you recommend? Tag: testing Tag: 23259

Blank windows update notifications...
Lately, when XP's automatic windows updater has announced
an update is ready, clicking on "info" has produced a
blank window: No information about what's about to be
downloaded.
This means either MS has developed a bug in the updater or
someone else has hijacked the update system and is doing
God knows what with it.
These blank updater windows have been labeled
both "Windows Updates" as well as "Intel Network" updates,
which is meaningless, as a practical matter, since a
hacker could label it anything he wants.
I certainly hope Microsoft will look into this situation
promptly. This is not a Good Thing.
Very truly,
