Lol... why would anyone in the right mind have 300 tabs open at once. You are bound to have a program crash. 4mb of mem with 300 tabs open.. not sure where you get that Opera does the same thing I have used it as well and it is not as flexible as IE or Firefox and ALOT of pages do not load correctly using Opera. Opera uses the same amount of memory as Firefox, yet has very unnessary additons to it. Opera is more for the adictive Advertising/Integrated tools connoisseur. Either way each user has there own preference.

That table must be getting dizzy. If you did not get it... Blondes are ditzy. A table does not turn.

Found this flash introduction about Google / Amazon merging together and overthrowing the world. However, the merger with Google/Amazon is 'old news' but this link was kind of funny. [ LINK ] I forgot to mention that Googlezon has started the production of silicon microchips being implanted in our heads at pre-birth. Our thoughts are Googlezons and if we reproduce them were infringing upon there copyright law...

If you want to remove IE and have a 'True' form of patch management to replace windows update. http://www.shavlik.com/

i'll shutup... you missed my point.

Oh... I forgot. Windows/Microsoft was programmed in Korea. No wonder it falls appart when someone touches it

roflmao. I love how Microsoft covers up poor programming of there products. Shows you how much they pay attention to quality. Then again it could have been intentional. To rebutt his statement regarding competitors the main goal they are after is to remove spyware, not the core of IE. I like the idea though. They would have been better off having this beta program run a Magnetic Remenance to all drives and a zero + reverse + random[DOD x 9]

Great work, your system should purr like a kitten now. Nothing really stands out from the hijackthis log. However, to keep a clean system I would do this at least 2x a month (respectively). Also, run through the manual I posted, and your set. Keep your viral, spyware and windows applications up-to-date and schedule Windows Update in case you miss something. Cheers,

lmao

Hi all. I never really get down to this point, however, MSFN seems like a place I will hang around @ for some time. Wish I found it earlier :/. So far I have met a lot of knowledgeable professionals and wish to learn along side with MSFN members. I currently hold my CCNA, MCP & working on finishing my MCSE. Then going back to my studies in CCNP/CCSP/CISSP. Cheers, epic

hmmm format /c ? No, really! 1. Prt Scrn (Entire Desktop) 2. Alt+Prt Scr (Active Window) Open Start->Program Files->Accesories->MSPaint Once MSPaint opens click on: 1. Edit->Paste OR 2. ALT+V After that stand up, spin your chair around 4x, stand on your head, and rub your belly clapping your feet together.

O16 - Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool: When you access Microsoft Download Center, it may perform a validation process, to see whether your Windows is genuine, if so, you can continue to downlod software from download center. As far as anti-viral protection, I would recommend McAfee Enterprise Edition. However, you may want to do a little research of your own to determine which is best for you. A topic a few have been debating regarding which is the right AV solution. (Free AV protection is not the answer) http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=36139 However, I would re-run the latest version of hijackthis again (v1.99, delete the old one) C:\WINDOWS\system32\CTsvcCDA.exe ->Disable ctsvccda.exe this process was authored by Creative Labs, and is usually installed alongside Soundblaster card drivers or some Creative Labs applications. It assists Windows manage the CD-Rom on Windows 9x and Me systems, however it has no use on faster CD-Rom drives C:\WINDOWS\system32\pctspk.exe ->Disable pctspk.exe is a diagnostic tool for PCTEL modems. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference C:\WINDOWS\system32\CTHELPER.EXE ->Disable cthelper.exe is installed with Creative Labs Soundblaster Devices. It's purpose is to aid 3rd party developers create plugins/software for the card. In this way it is a non-essential system process and can be removed from the task-bar/startup. C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe ->Seems that you are running two versions of MSN messenger, 4.0 is installed by default in XP and still resides there. Remove it using this script in the run prompt. Start-> Run-> Paste this without the quotes: "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" C:\WINDOWS\system32\MsPMSPSv.exe ->Disable mspmspsv.exe is a process which normally comes with a specific update of Windows Media player. It allows for the SDMI protocol (Secure Digital Music Initiative) to be used during dealing with music media. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CTHelper] CTHELPER.EXE ->Disable Same as above (C:\WINDOWS\system32\CTHELPER.EXE) but in startup folder. O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UpdReg] C:\WINDOWS\UpdReg.EXE ->Disable updreg.exe is a process from Creative Technology Ltd. It is used to reminds users to register for their Creative Labs products. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference. After that follow this guide. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ind...t=0entry54989 You are starting to see the light

I would go through the first list you posted first (similar to the second). Disable the criteria I suggested with Hijackthis, but use your judgement with a few that I made comments on. After that re-run Hijackthis.

Basically that was a quick run-down. I noticed his multimedia profiles for his keyboard & a few others. I just noted to disable some of the drivers that load not all. However with all the added criteria in the list it would be essential to reinstall and eliminate some of the programs he is running. I mainly mention this since most of whats on this list is from yahoo/pogo software. That stuff is bad news and would be fairly time consuming to clean it, but good experience. ATI Multimedia Center has a lot of unnecessary additions. Only install what is needed. Multimedia software for keyboards & mice. Watch during the prompts during installation (advanced / custom) make sure to just install the drivers. Unless those 3rd party menu options catch your functionality taste. AVG/ZA process I noticed as well, IMHO I wouldnt suggest neither of these products to anyone, I would suggest Norton before these and thats is low in my book. I will revise it in detail when I get some time tomorrow.

svchost.exe is needed for windows to run properly. However, it has a vulnerability that was exploited. This process was registered as 'W32.Welchia.Worm', however it is not a worm. There is a hotfix to eliminate the buffer overflow. Usually a normal running operating system will be running at least 2-4 instances of the process. Running spyware detectors should have removed most of these redirects and settings. Should only be 4 settings here. However, If you recognize the URL at the end as your homepage or search engine, it's OK. If you don't, check it and have HijackThis fix it.

I would consider doing a low level format and resinstall your os. Just a TIP do not use yahoo, aim, msn messengers there just a tool for advertising products (DOWNLOAD TRILLIANPRO) if you need a messenger, it combines all types of collaboration. Also NEVER install ActiveX controls from 3rd party sites unless its a well known site requesting it to be installed (i.e. Microsoft, Cisco, Macromedia, etc... etc... NOT sites like fileplanet, google, yahoo, etc... etc...)

Thought I would post my setup for Firefox adblocker. Some download links do not show while it's enabled, but I am working on fixing that.

Ah, yes here is my DT. Pretty simple & clean. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/epi...er/40b98f6f.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/epi...er/40b98f6f.jpg -------------------------------------------------- Firefox Whitehart: theme by Anders Conbere Explorer shell (need modified uxtheme.dll) Opus 3.0: theme by *b0se Winamp Milk2|Chrome: theme by -kol TrillianPro3 Milk3: theme by stenosis Background theme by myself... just a gradient of blue & grey

It's a very creative program... wonder if Norton had anything to do with this.. /snickers.

Curious on what the results were...

Nope, unless he's given direct permission to do so. But I am sure he wouldnt mind someone advertising his original works. Thanks for the links. I found the shell and reading up on it. Just wish Trillian had a transparent look.

Nicely done... is there a possibility you could package your setup and post it? I really dig the clean look you have there.
