  2. Internet Explorer 6

    A question, though, this only activates if you click the pop-up, right?? One of our house rules is never click those things, so I'm *hoping* this idiot box is safe....for now.  Want to make sure I'm reading the info correctly!  Thanks, Liz

    Hi Liz:

    That is the way I understand it. If you do not know what it is, don't click it. I would just get off of that site.

    My philosophy is "WHEN IN DOUBT, DON'T'

    Take care

    Thanks for the warning Barb.

    Could this be the same, or similar, to the sticky? thread Efwis did awhile back called "A New Theory Has Been Broken"? One of the people posting a comment on your linked article sounded like what we were reading on Tom Coyote's thread that Efwis posted about. Wasn't that a Java Exploit allowing it to happen? I am not sure, but think that is what I read.

    God bless everyone.

    Hi thesidekickcat:

    I think you are right. I just read it again, from Efwis thread. It certainly sounds like the same tactics.

    Sorry to post the same thing. This is just written a little different, but sure looks like the same thing.

    Barb :o

    Hi Barb,

    I was only questioning if the two sources could be talking about the same thing. I didn't mean to cause you to feel sorry about posting it. In fact I am sorry for making you feel sorry. (oh my if I keep going on here I will get more confused than my normal usual mixed up self. :rolleyes:)

    Don't be sorry for posting any warnings, even if they are possibly duplicates.

    For instance, yours might bring it to the attention of someone who missed the previous one, or saw it but didn't read it, or forgot it. Or yours might be in a more understandable form for some than the other one. Or may be different or a new twist on the previous one.

    In other words, everyone go ahead and post what you find that could help save us from trouble. And then let's all get together to figure out what they mean in relation to others if it is pertinent, or brainstorm how to protect ourselves from the new threats. OK? :unsure:

    God bless everyone.

    Hi thesidekickcat:

    Hey, no problem. When I read the first one, I guess it didn't sink in. So, glad you mentioned it, so I could go back and re-read it, and with the one from Aunty Spam, it made more sense to me. Sometimes I don't get it the first time. :huh:

    No big deal, my friend. Take care, and have a good evening.

    Barb :D

  7. G4 Hasent Got Better

    I go to G4 once a day, only because of the people I know from CFH. I like to check in, in case there is something of a personal nature about a person I know, and want to express my support to them.

    BestTechie is home base for me because of the atmosphere here. It is ok to have disagreements as long as you respect that person's point of view. There is no reason to flame anyone because they disagree with you. Just have an itelligent discussion and learn from it.

    It would be boring if we all agreed, don't you think?

    Welcome irregularjoe.

    Make yourself at home. This is a great place, and you will meet the finest people here with an abundance of knowledge. They are always ready to help anyone that needs it.

    I originally came from TTV CFH board, but was more of a reader. Still learning.

    BestTechie is "Home Base" for me. I hope it will be for you also. So, as they say, kick back, enjoy, pour yourself a favorite beverage, maybe a snack or two.

    Have fun.

  17. Windows Update

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Well I have a copy of windows ME, but I dont think that would be any better than 98SE.  There were alot of bugs in ME. 

    How can I see which updates are already installed ? Windows update?

    Jennie:

    I don't have Win98SE, but take a look in add/remove programs at the bottom you may see Microsoft hotfix KB888000 (example) and internet explorer may have one. They are in ABC order.

    Or you can download Belarc advisor and it will tell everything you have on your computer.
