Can you restore to a known good restore point?


Hi,

I tried system restore,and the PC would  not start after that. It took 
an hour of automatic repair and repeat system restore and biting my 
nails, until the PC worked again.


The original problem remains.

Thanks for your input.

Mort







Could you ininstall "Chrome Messenger"

I've been using Seamonkey mail as my primary email client for a long
time. My main email account is a gmail account, which has been in
existence for a long time as well.

Twice since I installed 2.49.1, I've had messages from Gmail saying that
someone tried to use my password from an unknown device. In both cases,
Seamonkey had been running against the gmail account for a period of
hours at least. One instance was my laptop, then today I got a similar
warning regarding my desktop machine (which runs Seamonkey mail all the
time).

In both instances, once I confirmed that the IP used for the "attempt"
was my own IP, things have gone back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing this sort of error? It may be that Google has done
something to change its security, but it does seem odd that I've only
seen the error since I installed the latest version, and it also seems
odd that Google can't identify the device, even though it normally shows
that I'm accessing the account from a Linux based machine. At the time,
the only thing accessing the Gmail account would have been Seamonkey...

I've also got another IMAP account which is behaving a little oddly. I
access it both with Seamonkey mail and through a webmail interface (the
webmail interface is the most recent version of Horde). Suddenly, any
time I attempt to use the webmail interface from Seamonkey, it is
reporting that the browser doesn't support javascript or javascript is
disabled. I've not changed anything, and I was able to access the
webmail interface after the upgrade to 2.49.1. I can still access it
correctly in Chromium or Firefox - its only Seamonkey that has the 
problem.


I'm using the official Arch Linux Seamonkey build:

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.1
Build identifier: 20171107205422

Paul.



As you can see from the User Agent, I'm still on 2.46.
I have two ISPs, my "normal" one and one for emergencies when the 
"normal" one does not work for some reason (they are totally seperate).

Yesterday I had a problem and switched to the backup ISP.
My gmail access is via IMAP and gmail complained almost immediately, 
saying someone had access to my password and asking if this was really 
me.  The attempted access was blocked.


In my case the messages (and the access) were legitimate.


That sounds exactly like the problem I had. So at least its not 
something in 2.49.1 - just gmail doing strange things. I had another 
strange problem with Gmail a few days ago - I had been logged into my 
gmail account both on the desktop upstairs and on my laptop. Just as I 
was getting ready to pack up and go to bed, I got a pop-up from gmail 
telling me to log in via the web. Didn't make much sense, since I hadn't 
got one of the "someone tried your password" messages this time. But I 
couldn't access Gmail from the laptop at all, so I fired up the browser 
and did as asked. That worked, but I still couldn't use the email client 
to log in to gmail.


After going back and forwards a few times, I gave up and went to check 
the desktop. Which had exactly the same problem. And also didn't want to 
clear. After a lot of struggling, I got gmail to accept al login from 
Thunderbird (which I had configured but hadn't used in months). Still 
couldn't get anywhere with Seamonkey mail. In the end I gave up and went 
to bed.


Next morning the problem had gone - Seamonkey mail was working again. So 
whatever gmail broke, they fixed. For the moment at least


Paul.

Your very annoying advertisement for Avast indicates that is the
anti-virus application you are using.  Avast now owns AVG.  Updates to
AVG have the option to install Chrome, with the default set to "yes".
It is likely Avast does the same.

If that is what is happening, you have to set your Avast options to
block automatic updates.  Then when you do a manual update, be careful
to uncheck the checkbox that allows installation of Chrome.

In the meantime, disable your Internet connection.  Do a search for
files named chrome.exe, deleting all occurances and their associated
folders.

Run regedit.exe to search for the character string "chrome" (without the
quotes).  If you find any that are NOT related to SeaMonkey or other
Mozilla-based application and not related to the metal, VERY CAREFULLY
delete the registry key.  It is best you do a complete system backup
before changing your registry.
