    Are you talking about the Google search on the tool bar?

    If so:

    Right click an empty spot on the toolbar, at the top.

    Click Customize, and a box will open with, all of the tool bar options.

    Left click on the Google search, and drag it into this box.

    Anything you want to add to the tool bar, just drag it from the box, to the tool bar.

    If your talking about changing your home page:

    Tools / Options / General / then change it under Home Page

    Hope this helps you out, Marty.

    If you have any more questions, just ask.

    Glad to see you made it over here, jeservices.

    Nice little place we got here, and I know your going to be an asset.

    I think you'll find that this board, is a lot like the old TTV boards. Bunch of real nice people, and pretty laid back.

    We've got an arcade too, with a few different games.

    Hope you enjoy your time here.

    Enjoy your stay, and remember, the only stupid question, is the one not asked.

  20. Can Hardly Startup My Laptop!

    ... I ran tons of scans kaserskpy, avg, macaffe. All the ones worth trying! ...

    Am I to understand, that you are running 3 anti-virus programs, at the same time?

    Not advisable!

    Something PeteC posted in the past, on another board:

    Can you have more than one Anti-virus program?

    Posted by Petecovell 04/09/2004, 8:32 a.m.

    Can you ===> YES

    Should you =====> NO

    Is it a good idea, do you get better protection====>NO

    The danger, is that one antivirus program may (Read this as eventually will) see

    the others definition files as viruses, and will remove them. This is not so much a

    problem with manual scans, where you only run one Antivirus program at a time, if

    you pay close attention to what it detects, and where. If you manually configure it to

    ignore the other program, and its files, then you minimize the risk from this problem.

    The big problem, is the silent threat. Most antivirus programs will scan web based

    (not necessarily all, like P2P, and IM) file transfers. It is quite common, for one

    antivirus program, to detect the incomming virus updates for the other. Thinking parts

    of the definition files are viruses in their own right, the AV will strip these out of the

    update.

    The end result? Instead of having two, or even one, up to date fully functional

    antivirus programs, you have two severely crippled programs, which are each

    missing critical definition, and detection files .

    So, it is best to have one antivirus program, and keep it up to date and use it

    properly.

    Then, if you experience a problem, or question its efficicacy, you run an online scan.

    Marty,

    I'm sure somebody here can help you out.

    Download the latest version of HijackThis (HJT), from this link.

    Put HijackThis in a Permanent folder:

    Click My Computer / C: / File / New / Folder / name the folder; HijackThis

    Put HijackThis.exe, in this folder.

    This is a mandatory step, for the backup and restore functions, of HijackThis, to be able to work.

    Read the pinned post in the Security forum, here

    Then, run a log, and post it in the HJT forum, at this link. Do NOT, fix anything, yet.

    A member, of the HJT Team, will help you out.
