Happy Birthday Matt - have a great day Brian

The problem that I have is that there are so many people DYING of cancer and cancer related illnesses that it makes me wonder - I mean, there is a whole debate about stem cell research, and what that could mean to the medical community and people at large - However, G.W.B. does not want to fund this because of the fact that stem cells come from embryos. Cancer research needs to continue - there are way too many people dying because of it, and I have lost good friends and family members because of cancer - if we could get cancer under control, there could be alot of people that could benefit.

Think Nothing of it my friend: Thats what friends are for Brian

Happy Birthday Sultan - sorry I missed that one Brian

I would suggest that you start your own HJT thread, following the HJT Instructions. Then, await a member of the staff that is a HJT Expert to assist you. One of the Experts will then anaylize the log and give you instructions. Good Luck!! Brian

Brian Here: Just my .02 Cents about logs: The best thing to do is to wait for a BT HJT expert to look at your log and make suggestions on what is needed to cure your problems. It is also adviseable to post your own HJT log in a seprate thread, because problems may be or may not be simolar and may require differing strategies to deal with them. This is why saying that you have the exact same problem as another poster may not be accurate. I would suggest the second poster start his own thread, following the HJT Instructions. Then, await a member of the staff that is a HJT Expert to assist yo

I have revised and rewritten the instructions for Backing up favorites in Internet Explorer 6. This information has been submiitted to the BT Tutorial Submission Area and is available here: Favorites: Backing Them Up: Here's How Please let me know what you all think - I hope that it will be helpful enough to be added to the BT Knowledgebase Thanks Brian

DOUBLE POSTING: removed ~ Brian

Mark: Is it possible that the reason that favorites "disappear" is because of some "Glitch" with IE7? It seems like the information that I have researched lends creedence to the fact that the way IE7 operates and handles Favorites is significantly different then what you find in IE6 - this is because of the design of the program. There are lots of links that discuss IE7 and the differences and the problems with the browser that you can google. Chief of these is that fact that some favorites disappear after being added. This is why I am staying with IE 6 until the bugs are worked out of IE7

This is My first submission to the tutorial Area of Besttechie. It is my hope that it will be included in the BT Knowledgebase ~Brian HOWTO: BACKING UP FAVORITES in IE 6 submitted by Baker7 How many of you have favorites that you want to keep? This question is important if you are considering upgrading to Internet Explorer 7.0. This question is also important if you are considering upgrading your operating system, or if you are going to backup your Favorites. This Tutorial will help you to do this. FIRST STEP: ORGANIZE FAVORITES In order to backup your favoites so you know what th

Your Welcome Nancy! This helped me several times, because I organize my favorites in folders. Backing them up makes it simple to find and restore them. I may move this to a tutorial because if we have people who want thier favorites backed up, this would be a good tutorial to have. Brian

Honda Boy: Congrats on making the $40!! If I knew that dilivering chicken would net me $40, I would do that too. I am glad that the trip was uneventful. I once made $50 for performing a Windows Update for a Client of mine Take Care, Brian

Nancy: First, I can tell you that you CAN save your favorites folder To do this: 1. Double Click on "My Computer" 2. Double Click on your "C: Drive" 3. Double Click on "documents and settings" 4. Double Click on your username folder 5. Find the "Favorites" folder" and double click this folder 6. The Contents of this folder will be displayed. 7. To copy it, simply click "Edit>Select All" and all of your favorites will be selected. Then with all of the favorites files selected, RIGHT CLICK within the Favorites folder and select either CUT or COPY. Cut removes favorites from the favorites

Cool - hope it helps you Brian

Brian Here: I must agree: The people here at Besttechie ARE PROS and I appreciate EVERYTHING they do. BT's Team has saved me valuable and precious time with finding and deleting hijacks, malware and spyware problems. I try to thank everyone who helps me with a problem log. When I was posting at G4 regularly, I would get the help there. and got to know many members of the team. The HJT team members here are knowledgeable and personable also they have the skills to be able to assist those who need them. Many of them are also members of BT!! There are those however, that I have seen post at

So far, I have liked the new AVG - I had 18 tracking cookies that were deleted and all is well - maybe I will get a license to this one - have not decided yet. Thanks for the info Brian

I just watched Rachael Ray this morning. She had a site that was pretty cool. It can be used to eliminate the Telemarketer, or a person who you have to get off the phone with. The site is Sorry gottago dot com Have Fun Brisn

Therock247uk: I just wanted to post a followup to this log. After scanning this machine, and talking to Jeff, I decided to bite the bullet because after tying to start kasperspy, she would not load. I spent about 5 days from the date of my pervious post to backup files, format the machine, get updates, and then began the restore process. My machine is running well, so I will ask you to close this thread, and I may ask for a HJT check in a couple days, which I will retitle. Thanks Brian

I worked on my bros computer once - ran adaware and it found 6,000+ things wrong with it - I had to reinstall the whole thing - what a mess hehehehe brian

What is this Sun you speak of? All I see out there is clouds, snow and ice. A couple minuites outside and I have icicles hanging down my beard. Agree with TT - its been several degrees belo ZERO for days, and even with the sun, its cold - I have not been out since Tuesday Afternoon (when it was above ZERO) Brian

thanks for this info jeff: lets hope that you will be up again as soon as feasibly possible Good Luck!!! Brian

As far as I'm concered, everyone here is a friend. I haven't seen anyone yet that I would ignore, not even Suppy Mark I have to agree that everyone here is a friend........I don't ignore many.....Even in my days as an IRC Server Operator, I RARELY ignored people - If I did, it was because our rules forbade staff from trying to settle personal disputes for people (User to User) Instead, we asked them to take it to /msg, or to a private channel - That way, we were free to handle server related stuff, and maintain order on the public channels. Take Care, Brian

Brian: Just click on anyone's user name in a thread, and a drop down window appears, and you click on "add as friend" That is how I did it. Did not try it in my profile. Barb Barb: Thanks a million: must be the fact that my machine was messed up - she is running better now - I will have to go get some updates, but seems to be running better - apparently, could not click these things before, so it was not working - have added friends to my list now Brian

I have a question for you all: How does one add a "friend" to the right side of your profile? I have tried this before, and added about 7 friends, including jeff, but when I go to friends in my profile, I see "no friends to display" Is there something that users have to do to get this working?? Other users have friends listed, and I don't - just wonderd ??? Brian
