    Online Banking

    There's KeePass and KeePassX. I've only ever used KeePassX. The way I used it was, I would have it generate long random passwords, and save them into an encrypted database. When I needed to log in, I just found the password I needed, and c+p my credentials. It's considered very useful because not even the user knows the password. It was just a random long series of letters and numbers. I then put my encrypted database onto an encrypted USB drive so I could have my passwords wherever I needed. It sounds like Pete does something similar. Here's some info on both pieces of software. They

    Pete: What is keepass? Where can I get it? Sounds like a good idea.

    Online Banking

    I pay all my bills by EFT (electronic funds transfer), same here saves stamps. So, I guess you would consider that on line banking. Forgot about that. I keep a check on it periodically. Never had any trouble.

    I do mine pretty much like Honda Boy does. Use it only to check balances. All transactions done at bank. I do a lot of online buying, because I don't have access to any big stores except Walmart and Lowes. We only have a lot of local stores etc.

  10. DON'T MESS WITH MOM My son came home from school one day, with a smirk upon his face. He decided he was smart enough, to put me in my place "Guess what I learned in Civics Two, that's taught by Mr. Wright? It's all about the laws today, The 'Children's Bill of Rights.' It says I need not clean my room, don't have to cut my hair. No one can tell me what to think, or speak, or what to wear. I have freedom from religion, and regardless what you say, I don't have to bow my head, and I s

    Hey Marty, glad to hear from you, and know you are OK. Follow Dr's orders, and take care of yourself. Have a good day
  13. Prayers and thoughts to you Marty. Take care Barb
  14. Marty: I have Malwarebytes on XP and Vista. Are you doing the FULL scan or QUICK scan? Full scan does take a long time, but quick scan is done within 10-15 min. or less. I do a quick scan weekly, and a full scan monthly. Both XP and Vista about same amount of time. Not too much difference that I have noticed. Barb
  15. Happy Birthday Pat and RMurphy Hope you both have a great day
  16. Yes. MBAM is an excellent Anti-Spyware application Thank you Matt, I thought so too. I installed it months ago with the recomendation from BT.
  17. Malwarebytes DOES NOT replace AVG. These are two different programs that do two different things. The AVG I'm referring to is AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 formerly Ewido, not the anti-virus program. I've never has AVG anti-virus program. So, shouldn't MalwareBytes Anti-Spyware be a good one to replace AVG Anti-Spyware?
  18. Marty: It doesn't happen all the time. Probably after some update of other software. It happen to me once before, but that was a few years ago. I did just install Spybot S&D a few months ago, since AVG discontinued Anti-Spyware 7.5 (Ewido). I really like that program. I was looking for something else to replace AVG besides Malware-bytes. If it does it again, I'll uninstall Spybot. If I remember correctly, I had Spybot than also. Hmmm! I'm going to keep a check on SpywareBlaster and see what happens. Barb
  19. I was checking for updates for SpywareBlaster this morning, and noticed that: Restricted Sites.... 1 Item Protection Disabled Click Enable All Protection to correct this. Everything else was OK. Don't know why this happens, as I always make sure to Enable Protection after an update. Just a heads up if you have this program, check it.
  20. Wanda: I have Vista on my laptop, and when I bought it, it was recommended that I have a minumium of 2GB Ram (memory). I get my memory from Crucial: Crucial Where it says CRUCIAL MEMORY ADVISOR TOOL, you will see 3 steps for you to choose. It will be computer brand, product line, and model computer that you have. After you fill in all info, let it scan your computer and it will tell you what kind of memory you should get. It will tell you also the most amount of memory that your computer can handle. Take a look at it. Barb

  22. . I love being an old lady!! LETTER TO THE BANK From Subject: 86-year old lady's letter to a bank Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86-year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times. Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pen
