  2. Work in Firefox and IE7 for me. Could be a Flash player problem(not for sure though). Does the same with me too. Someone else here probably knows why or has some suggestions to try.

  8. Ditto! I login over there every week or 2 or 3, but have not posted in quite some time! Don't remember because it's been so long & don't care to look & see either!
  9. For me too. My Dad retired back in 71 from the Air Force after being in 20 years. I was around aircraft for 13 of those years and now live just a few miles from the largest helicopter training post in the U.S. It was at one time, may still be. U.S. Army Aviation Warfighting Center and Fort Rucker http://www.armyflightschool.org/rucker.htm I was wondering the same thing about the guy flying that Hornet!

  14. Another vote for Kaspersky or NOD32! I've been using KAV for the last year and a 1/2 and is really low on resources. Install with default settings and it's set to go! Checks for updates hourly by default. It also has a Proactive Defense that must be enabled within KAV which is like Process Guard. Not for the novice user though! I won NOD32(download only)on another site a month ago which I haven't received yet but am very interested to see what it is like. I think I haven't got it yet because the latest version is known to slow down, not all, but many PC's. I've read though their working on a n

  18. I did find 2 other ways to remove My Way Search Assistant. Which way would you recommend to get rid of it completely? Open HJT > Misc Tools> Uninstall Manager, Hilight My Way and click on Remove Entry. http://forums.whatthetech.com/Hijack_log_d....html&st=15 ---- Post #9 http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread18008.html In case anyone else stumbles upon the My Way Search Assistant in Add/Remove Programs without an uninstall button, and finds this thread, here's some more info on removing...

  19. I don't know..... His PC has been running just fine since I've gotten rid of ShopperReports & Spam Blocker Utilities. After reading your reply & searching some myself too, it appears that My Way Search Assistant comes preinstalled into most Dell PCs and laptops. Maybe not in the newest ones that have just come out, I really don't know! I'm seriously thinking about downloading & running the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility from Microsoft mentioned in this article here.

  21. TURN THE SPEAKERS UP .............
  22. A lady was video taping her son riding a skate board when her attention switched to an old woman trying to cross the street in front of a honking motorist. It is the best direct hit I have seen in some time. You can hear the lady that is taping it also giggling as she records the event. Turn your sound on. Moral of the Story: Don't mess with the Old Folks.
