 Computers › Re: Problem With My Internet Browser - I.e V7. by TmeD0(m): 9:17pm On May 20, 2008 |
ono:@ poster, I've looked at the scan result over and over again and the only thing I found alraming, which I struck-out is launcher.exe on your system. It's likely a spyware or adware and I'd suggest getting a free antivirus (antivir or avast should do) and antispyware (a-squared free or super antispyware is fine) installed should be your next step. You probably want to run a deep scan in safe mode after you install the S/W. Also, I noticed you have so many browser toolbars, you probably want to uninstall one of the BHOs I have in bold--no reason to keep both. Do you use Vongo service? If not you might want to uninstall that bloatware and some other ones on there too. Still check your privacy settings like I stated in my previous post though. Good luck. Peace! |

[quote author=S.U.N.O link=topic=135600.msg2279522#msg2279522 date=1211305384][b]You didn't tell me if you are an Administrator or not. You shouldn't have this problem if you are. But if you are and still get this problem, then it's probably disabled either by a virus or your friend messed with the registry. You can try doing this, - Click "Start" > "Run." - Type in "gpedit.msc" (without the quotes) into the command line and click "OK." (This will open the Group Policy settings window) - Navigate to "User Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "System" > "Ctrl + Alt + Delete Options" > "Remove Task Manager." - Double-click the "Remove Task Manager" option from the "Group Policy menu." - Click the Disabled radio button. (This option, even though it says "Disable" is actually enabling the Task Manager.) - Click Ok Hopefully, you should be all right now. Good luck. --------- SUNO ---------[/b][/quote]Phew! Glad you didn't have him mess with the registry key for that. Thank God for group policy settings as an alternative. @ poster, you might want to make yourself administrator on that machine or else you'll be wasting your time trying to change settings in group policy. First thing you want to do is add yourself as an authorized user on the notebook ya paddy dash you. By that I mean going into control panel, user accounts and create a new user with administrative priviledge. On the other hand, if there's only one user account on the notebook aside from the built-in administrator account, you might want to give that user admin rights on your notebook. What SUNO suggested is the solution to your problem--he's right either a virus disabled it or ya friend disabled it. In this case, I think the former is the case. Why? The error message you got make me believe your friend's account, which I presume is the same you're using now does not have admin priviledge on that machine. On a side note, I'd suggest you get a free antivirus and antispyware and run a deep scan on your notebook prefarably in safe mode nna. Good luck! Peace! |

dominique:Good question: NONE! Tell me since when has traffic laws been obeyed for naija. They claimed the guy drove through a one-way illegally---PLEASE!. Na since when them don start enforce that one? I've read the responses to this story and I must say I'm appalled and concerned at the responses thus far. While some were so contradictory that it makes you wonder if any thought was put into the writing, some just flat out balme the accused who in this case turns out to be a victim of the typical police brutality. Ok, let's just say he did commit a traffic offense, which we know in this case there was none, was it right for the olopa them to assault him? Like someone stated, there's got to be more to this story that's not being disclosed. People, I beg una before una begin open una mouth dey pass judgment, make una know the facts surrounding the issue first. Na just my 2 kobo. Peace! |

dnative:@ poster, dnative's suggestions should answer your question. I'd bet my last buck that your CD drive is defective, which in this case you will need to have it replaced. On the other hand, You'll want to try the last suggestion dnative offered because sometimes certain CDs will just not work on some drives. Try another brand of CD just to eliminate that option. Peace! |

@ poster, it sounds like your browser has been hijacked. Download and install HijackThis a small utility that scans your PC's registry and HD and returns the result that you can save in text format. Oh, do not check the option to fix whatever you find unless you know what you're doing. Scan your PC, save the scan result and post it on here. On the other hand, it's possible that your privacy settings on your browser is set way too high and as a result it's blocking every single cookie. I doubt that's the case since you're getting a bogus site when you're trying to visit a known site. At any rate still check your privacy settings in IE. Incase you're not sure how to do that, here's how: 1. Go to tools --> Internet Options 2. Click on the Privacy tab and check to make sure the slider is at least set to medium and not high, medium high and so on. 3. If it's set to medium, go ahead and download hijack this and return a scan but if it's not, proceed to step 4 4. Move the slider to medium and clear your cache (history, temp internet files) 5. Exit IE and relaunch it, then try visiting some known sites Good luck. Don't forget to post the scan result on herel for all to see. Peace! |

Why peeps dey recommend tools wey no free on hia when the poster (at least on the subject) clearly stated that he's looking for a FREE audio converter, still beats me. Total video converter is not free! It's only free to download, which makes it a shareware not a freeware! full stop.  |

| Computers › Re: Help With Anti Virus: by TmeD0(m): 8:15pm On May 19, 2008 |
@ poster, uninstall Kaspersky (hope you never pay for am o) and install one of these free anti-virus (well, only the first 5 are free--no look AVG) o jare. Personally, I'd recommend Antivir because it has never failed and by the way, it auto-updates almost nearly everyday. Speaking of free, na who dey talk say malwarebyte free. It's free to try but eventually you'd have to purchase the license. Abeg, make una no mislead pipul for hia jare. And if I hear AVG for this place again, walahi, I go yamutu somebody for hia o. Peace! |

teenstexas:I believe nch software is the same company that makes switch audio file converter (free). . . the URL is the one I posted on my previous comment. Wavepad will do the job but they now seem to shove their master's edition, which is a free trial down your throat. hayprof:@poster, he's right if you want to go that route but you will need to tweak the settings because Apple iTunes automatically converts the file to their proprietary M4A format using AC3 codec. You will need to change the codec settings to mp3. I don't use iTunes that much. Good luck! Peace! |

Like you said, we all know (well, can't include atheists as them no believe hin exist sef) that God is a spirit and since he's a spirit, the spirit has to be either colorless or maybe of variety of color pa pa sef. Shebi e dey for bibeli mimo say God made man out of his own image. Ehn ehn! Since God made man out of his own image, who in turn made a woman from man; therefore, God has no definite color. Whether you black, white, red, purple and so on, as long as you're of the human species, you be God color. If purple pesin dey, then purple be part of God color too.

| Crime › Re: What Drives Someone To Suicide? by TmeD0(m): 1:10am On May 17, 2008 |
Walahi, life too sweet to even contemplate suicide o jare. Suicide ke? To me suicide is just an easy way out not to face the consequence of one's action or inaction. By the latter, I mean the thought of being regarded as a failure. What most of the suicide victims that fall in this category fail to realize is that success does not always equal material possessions. The ones in this category try to live beyond their means and pay attention to what other people are saying about them. As for me o, I don dey long enough for this earth to give rat yansh about what anyone say about me---as long as you no dey feed, clothe, pay my bills, whatever you say about me don't mean jack to me. Bottom line be say na feeling of hopelessness dey result into suicide. My pipu, where life dey, hope suppose dey now. O pari! Na just baba ijebu's short take on it be dat. Peace! |

honsule:"Honorable" Sule, I'm surprised you ceased from using your synonymous complex words -- I see you took my advice. See how a little coherent your sentence structure look? You can thank me later. Did you say bicker words with me? Man, I was merely responding to your remarks that you took very personally and threw some cheap shots. Did you think you can just throw unnecessary cheap shots and get away with it? No sir! In as much as I try to be civil with everyone on here, the last thing I'll take from anyone is an unnecessary cheap shot. No, this is no bickering of words my man but simply telling it how it is. And that is, ya need to take a chill pill and quit taking things on here very personally. Here's a little something for you to ponder on: If ya gonna dish out, ya better be ready to receive. Once again, I rest my case. Peace! |
| Computers › Re: Password Needed Urgently by TmeD0(m): 10:00pm On May 16, 2008 |
honsule:Lol! It never ceases to amaze me how some of my naija folks lack sense of humor and take every little thing very personally. Firstly, all your ramblings in Greek was irrelevant. Those complex words you used made no damn sense because all you did apart from repeating yourself using synonymous words was make yourself look like a damn fool! I bet it's your type that'll stand there saying junk like "first of all and foremost" thinking you've really impressed your audience. I'm sure you're proud of yourself and while you're at it, give yourself a pat in the back. Secondly, if anyone is ignorant, that would be you my friend. You know why? Cause ya can't use even figure out how to use the quote insertion feature on this thread. You tried to quote my remarks, which you did (good job!) but turned around and quoted yourself. Wow! You really are very "learned." On the other hand, being the nice guy that I am I'll explain how that works to you. You see "honorable" sule, when you insert a quote, the quotes are enclosed in what is called a tag. The beginning of the tag will look something like this: [ ] while the end will look like this [/]. Words inside the tag will be captured and in order to start a new sentence, you have to type outside of the end tag that looks like this [/] (you might not be tracking that's why I repeated it). Here, try that again and see for yourself. You know I do agree with you that ignorance is dangerous especially when you try to use complex words that have no bearing in the point you're trying to make. And you are an attorney? I feel sorry for your clients. If only they knew. I rest my case. Peace! |

Although like someone mentioned, the vent might be clogged, which can cause the overheating. Having said that, let me ask you a question: Do you use your notebook on the bed? Please tell me you don't because if you do that's probably the cause of the overheating. You always want to place your notebook on a flat surface. Peace! |

abushaheed:Before you assume it's a trojan, may I ask why you formatted in the first place. Was your machine infected in the first place? After you reinstalled the OS, did you Install an A/V? If you did, have you updated the virus definitions? Does the dialog dox appear only when you're online or sometimes while you're just running an application. At any rate, download and install HijackThis (don't worry, the file is < 1MB), then scan your system and post the result here. Just save the scan result in .txt format (it'll give you that option). There could be something else that's H/W related wrong with your PC (I may be wrong). Don't forget to post the result here. Peace! |

It's open source, light-weight, and best of all free. On the other hand, if you're bent on using MS.

nazzyon:  Advert? Are we talking about the same Antivir? I think you're mistaken my friend because there are no adverts like you mentioned. The only thing that pops up every now and then when the auto-update (notice I said auto-update) is running is their pop-up offering you an upgrade to the professional edition---mind you most free software that have upgrade versions do that. Avast is good like I stated earlier but doesn't do as much as Antivir does. Now AVG (at least the free version), I wouldn't even recommend to my worst enemy. Maybe they've gotten better but from my past experience, it's a no-go. Ok, if you want to talk about annoying popups, Spywareterminator tops the list. Though it's the only free anti-spyware out there that gives you a real time protection but gosh why in the world is it always trying to do the work of a firewall. I mean, I already have one installed. Peace! |

Avast is good too but this bad boy goes beyond viruses, I'm talking trojans, worms, backdoors and even has a built-in anti-rootkit that searches for any rootkit. peace! |
