Hello mnosteele52,

Thank you for the suggestions. :) However, as I mentioned, I have already used both spybot and Ad-Aware. These will not detect this malware/adware. You can look at Lavasoft's forum, and see for yourself that it will not.

I know that once this is deleted, that you would need to ...

Hi,

I appreciate all of the advice. I've ran both adaware and spybot. However neither will catch it. I read about this on both forums. This one is pretty slick. It is listed in the add/remove section, but I looked in the folder it's supposed to be in, and the folder is empty. There's a couple of ...

I forgot to mention that I'm running XP Pro with svc pack 2 and IE6.x . Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hello all,

My brother was using my computer lastnight, and somehow managed to get outerinfo on it. Pop up heaven. :cry: I have tried using both lavasoft adaware and spybot S&D, and neither is picking this buger up.

If anyone could walk me through getting rid of this bad boy, I sure would ...

darlin

Thanks everyone

I'm gradually getting there. I will install the other patch as well. all is good in device manager. I may need to try different RWIN numbers to get optimal peformance. Any idea which would be the best on 98 SE, using cable internert at 5 megs?

darlin

Do you have the most recent drivers for your network card? Probably not. I've had the NIC card for about 3 years, and I've never updated the driver.

It's a Linksys LNE100TX.

I wonder, too, if the "sg_webtweak_9x.zip" patch may help? Also, I notied that my sound card is on the same IRQ, 3, as ...

darlin

THeres no mention of needing it so I would say it should work fine as is.

Thanks YOS. :) I had to install the patch first. I have RWIN set to 513920. I get very close to 5 mbps now on a speed test. Webpages are a little slow to load, and it takes a few seconds before it actual locates the server ...

Turn on windows scaling, i dunno the reguistry sections for it but the TCP omtimizer will do it, it'll be on the right side of the first screen, click custom settings on the bottom right first, you can turn windows scaling on and put in the RWIN you want right there and reboot.

Using Windows 98SE ...

darlin

Thanks YOS,

Lastnight, I downloaded the file - "sguide_tweak_9x.zip" and installed it. Do I still need to run the "TCP omtimizer "? Heres the results now:
TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460 ...

darlin

Just a side note - I'm not getting but around 80 KBs/sec D/L. ):

darlin

Ok, I changed the RWIN to what you suggested, and thus far the best results are at 128480. However, when I ran the test again it's showing that's not what I have, but I checked the reg., and it's there.

Here are the new results:
TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully ...

Thanks Sava. Where do I make this change at?

Hello YOS,

Thanks for your help. :) I wasn't sure which part to paste, so I pasted both:

SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer

TCP properties for IP = 24.240.19.79 (24.240.19.79)

Hello Guys,

Thanks for the input. Charter came out yesterday and brought their laptop with them. I asked them to use my modem for testing, which they did, and they got 4.7 mbps.

Note - that the computer I am using has Windows 98 SE. I also have a PC with Windows ME, and I get the same low speed ...

darlin

Hi,

I am with Charter/5mb package, and I have been having slow speeds since the last outage in our area/bad node. Actually, I started having issues when they changed backbones providers from wvfibers to Level 3 Communications.

I have sent test after test, and nothing is resolved. Today I talked ...

darlin

Thanks for the information. Yeah it's been awhile since I've posted. Been a little busy, but it's hard to stay away from the computer, and my favorite site. You guys are great

darlin

Hello, Thanks for the information. However at this time, I am running, don't laugh :P, windows 98 SE, which has the router connected, and Windows ME, which has the network card.

I apologize, I should have mentioned that in my first post. Any help would be most appreciated, thanks.

darlin

Hi, I have a Linksys router, which is doing good. What I would like to do is set up the other computer with the wireless card to be able to share the printer on the main computer that has the router. I'm not sure if I need to make changes to the Network feature on the PC, and if I would need to do ...

I have lost the password for my ICQ ID. I have tried the lost password recovery, but no luck there either. I'm using ICQ version 2002a.

I have been through the registry, but I couldn't find anything there. I've been through my icq files, and was able to find the username, which I already know, and ...

Hi,
I just wanted to get some input from people using the latest, free, version of AVG.

I know it's been out for awhile, but I'd just like to hear the pros and cons about the program before I decide.
Thanks.

That bites. Thanks for the link. I'm going to give it a try and see what happens.

I'm using FF 1.0 and I get a message when going to launch yahoo.com and try to view a video. The message states that I need to upgrade to Netscape xxx.

Does anyone know of a way, be it plug in or extension, that I need in order to view videos on launch yahoo?

Also, I remember a while back there ...

Added bonuses such as 'export as pdf' have been helpful

I love that feature. I'm still messing around with everything.... It's like Christmas...lol

I've had Open Office for a few weeks now, and it's hard to believe that this software was free. I' still learning how everything works. I would just like to get other's opinions on what they think of it, and also how would you compare it to MS's version?

Yeah, there was a version 8, and version 9 works with 98 SE.

I want something with wireless already integrated.

That would be something that I would like too. I've looked at the Dell Axims.

What are your thoughts on those?

darlin

I've been on Charter for about a year and a half, recently upgrading to the 3mb plan. I honestly can't tell any difference in speed from the 1.5 package that I bought a year ago... maybe it's my modem. I doubt that it's your modem. I would go back to the other plan and save money and get the same ...

pocket PC would be cool since I could never afford a laptop.

I think that was what I meant to refer to, sorry. I was thinking they were the same thing.

I've never used a PDA, and I was kind of interested with what all you can do with them, and what I need to look for before purchasing one.

All suggestions are most welcome.

darlin

Wise choice.

darlin

*Bump* Anyone else have suggestions?

darlin

I use Charter. When I first got it, it was down more than it was up, and getting someone to actually check the lines was a pain in the butt.

I'm on the 3 meg package, and for about the last 6 months or so, the speed has really sucked. I usually get 3.2 mbps for about a 3rd of the day, and then it ...

It's not the ram that it consumes much of, but rather systen resources (user.exe and GDI.exe).
