  1. Well I think I am being used as a "remote server" for a few reasons :)

    Now I just want to see how much of my connetion is being used when im not really doing anything online just to see if i am possibly right. ( This before i look and remove the possible threat)

    Do any of you guys have a "recommended" ( i know i spelt it wrong) software to do this. It can even be a trial, I just want something that will get the job done.

  2. O, no that cant be it ( i checked though)

    On trillian it is suppose to be able to log on automaticallY ( stores password), but it wont connect.

    So i then tried MSN, and it gives me a wrong password error, although when i go through microsofts password recovery, i had it right?!

  3. go to administrative tools, computer management, in the left window pane, disc management, left click onto it, then in the right window pane the drives will show up, then right click the drive, and go from there.

    I hate doing it M$'s way...

  4. Ok, i am about to slave my 160 in order to start storing stuff on it.

    I know the partitions i want to make on it ( I have partition magic to do the partitioning version 8). My question is I dont have a windows disk to format the HD, as I lost the disc with the HD.

    So is there a program that I can use to format the HD?

    I am busy, or else i'd google some :)...ok you guys know me

    Im lazy

  5. Ok, well i cant get onto MSN messenger via

    Trillian

    or

    MSN messenger

    Through MSN i get "password is wrong", but it is not I am 100% sure.

    I tried to go to get help through the help link on messenger, but i get something on my system is not capable of carrying out the operation.

    Hmmmmm.....

    any ideas?

  6. Your sisters are adults. Isn't it time for them to get their own accounts?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    BANG! I don't know why I didn't see that first off. Nineteen, twenty and twenty-one? Tell 'em to pay for their own ISP (some won't issue different accounts to one address though). Or mom, if she uses the computer, could get another ISP and let the girls worry about losing their account access.

    One reason I'd go that route is it should NOT be necessary to babysit adults, thus, no keylogger -- If you ask me.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Great answers, but in this case, the girls aren't acting like adults!!! As long as they're living at home, they still need to respect Mom's rules, and if they occasionally need to be treated as children, so be it!.

    I don't know about how seperate ISP accounts work, but some of my kids friends got cellphones and when they got into trouble with them, it all backfired onto their parents (which is why my kids have tracfones!!), so I can see Jose's Mom's side--kids luxuries aren't worth denting the parents credit report.

    Looks like Jsky has a good list (I read Perfect Keylogger is good). For AIM, Son found something called Middleman that he uses on his own AIM account just for fun. I don't know how it works but he has the ability to save conversation logs. You'll have to google to find it, and read exactly how it works, but you'll figure it out quicker than I would! ;)

    Sixpac's answer is sooooooo tempting me...... :rolleyes:

    Liz

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Hmmmm, will check out that list...

    Liz you got my moms point of view exactly right, as in the hispanic culture you always respect your elders ( until they have disearned it).

    that middle man, the ironic thing is i just went over to a friends to tell her how to bypass it :). I think it was "middleman", i will soon find out

    thanks guys

  7. its SBC yahoo...I read the email ( as i am the tech savy person in my house i run anything with the computer).

    First thing i checked when my mom told me about it ,was to see if the email asked for a password and so on. If it did, then i know it to be a fake, but i didnt see that.

    Well I have already warned my sisters about me having a "keylogger" on my pc, but it has been about 4 months since i have told them. They are stubborn and will have to learn the hard way i suppose.

  8. we are "running out" of 32 bit address, If i remember correctly if its not done already, people are working on a 128 bit address.

    At first people said 32 bit address would be enough and we'd never run out, well now were running out :)

    am i being mocked? or are you just being sarcastic?

    Either way...that would be a great marketing strategy

  9. Well I was wondering if you guys have a preferred one?

    My ISP has sent me a letter pertaining to a violation of TOS, due to obusive language. So my mother has now asked me to monitor my sisters ( 19, 20 [ soon to be 21]) messages to see this "swearing".

    I am just seeing if there are "preffered ones"

    thanks

    ~Jose

    ( yes my spelling is horrible)

  10. I found this

    ;Disable Security Center

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wscsvc]
    "Start"=dword:00000004

    ;Disable Anti-virus Notifications
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
    "AntiVirusDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

    ;Disable Firewall Notifications
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
    "FirewallDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

    ;Disable Automatic Updates Notifications
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
    "UpdatesDisableNotify"=dword:00000001

    ;Override Antivirus Monitoring
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
    "AntiVirusOverride"=dword:00000001

    ;Override Windows Firewall Monitoring
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center]
    "FirewallOverride"=dword:00000001

    I see its disabled on my PC ( i've had a few trojans)

    Is it normal ?

    So far what i've researched it says its ok, just getting some trusted 2nd opnions

     it came to my attentin b/c spybot picked it up

     this worried me b/c it hadnt before, so in order to be notified i just delete those mentioned keys?

    Yes yes i know back it up
