Re: [SWCollect] Spyware
Don't enable preview for attachments, because some exploits have been written to take advantage of that behavior. Instead, simply don't open any attachment at all unless you know what it is and who it came from. BL wrote: Spyware is really common now in days - if you've had an active PC for a while, then suddenly decide to run these programs, yes, you are absolutely going to find a lot of stuff, from tracking cookies and dialers to memory resident programs hijacks you didnt even know were starting at boot-up. I know first hand, since I'm the computer-savy one of the family, I've seen some seriously messed up computers, and it's gotten about 10 times as bad in the past 2 or 3 years. Ad-aware is the best thing you can do for it, combined with educating yourself on a few tecniques for removal. I run Ad-aware once a week after doing the online update to the definitions file and I find anywhere from 25-50 new malicious components -- for the most part, just cookies from blacklisted hosts. That combined with checking my task manager's running processes every so often to make sure there's nothing i don't recognize running. Prevention is the best defense as always, and the best tips I can give are: Enable preview for attachments in Outlook Express, and never Open them, save them to disk. When surfing websites, never click a windows pop-up box that gives you an Ok / Cancel choice or something like that -- malicious coders often spoof an approval to install something on your computer with such misleading dialogs. When those pop-up, use ALT-F4 to close it, without choosing either. And of course, make sure you are up to date with all the Windows XP / Explorer / Outlook security patches from Microsoft.com. - Original Message - *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *To:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Monday, March 08, 2004 8:22 AM *Subject:* [SWCollect] Spyware I had a LOT of spyware on my computer as I've been using same drive/programs for a long time (like close to 100 spybots).

[SWCollect] Wireless Optical Mouse and ebay
Need wireless rechargable optical mouse. Anyone have suggestions (want cheap, maybe $25 shipped?). Tried ebay but most sellers have shipping cost of $11-20 (yes for one mouse), I refuse to buy from such a seller. Ebay needs new search function, shipping cost search, taking way too long to find one with reasonable s+h (probably searched 20 auctions, don't have time for that crap).

Re: [SWCollect] Spyware
I have a personal firewall on my system, less of fear that someone might try to come in, but that something might try to phone home. For example, a couple of weeks ago I installed a friend's OCR software for testing and it installed a TSR along with it: even when the OCR program wasn't running, the freaking thing tried to contact its makers. The firewall also quarantines any suspicious mail attachments, but as mail client I use good ole' Navigator 4.54 anyway. Some of those attachments aim for weaknesses in OE, and my Navigator is simply too old to understand all that fancy stuff. A program I can wholeheartedly reccommend in this context is Robin Keir's K9, that uses a Bayes algorithm to weed out spam (and things like the important update from Microsoft alongs with it): http://www.keir.net/k9.html BTW, the hottest issue regarding those little malicious buggers around here in Germany were and are dialers - trojans that replace your normal internet connection without your knowledge with 0190 numbers (for you Americans: 1-900 numbers). For dial-up users this generated some hefty bills. The billing's done by the phone companies who own the lines and so they send all their might and lawyers after you, if you don't pay. They don't do that out of any unselfishness either, as a certain percentage of the generated income goes to them for providing the line. It has been until now that a higher court here in Germany decided that a user fooled that way must not pay and that the phone company cannot ask for more than what would have been generated through use of the normal internet connection. Is the rest of the world as ridden by those dialers as we are around here?

Re: [SWCollect] Wireless Optical Mouse and ebay
Well, the Porsche among the wireless optical is Logitech's MX 700 (MX 900 if you want it as Bluetooth). It uses double the dpi your standard optical uses and is as accurate as a corded mouse. It also uses rechargeable batteries, which is a lot cheaper in the long run than buying batteries again and again - at night or during breaks you put it on its recharge station. Only problem: The mouse is beyond your price range. At the moment it should sell for 79, which should be about the same in $. Your alternative would the Cordless MouseMan Optical, which I used until I replaced it with the MX 700. It is not as precise as the latter, but if you aren't into FPS that shouldn't matter much to you. On Ebay you should be able to get a used one comparatively cheap.

Re: [SWCollect] Wireless Optical Mouse and ebay
While the MX 700 is a wonderful piece of hardware (its what I'm using now) it is REALLY fussy about how far away it is from its base station. They advertised a max of 6'. More like 2' for truly reliable use. Of course I have a wireless network and possibly other sources of RF interference. I almost returned it until I moved it within 18 of its base and it has been dead on ever since. Also (don't remember where I read it but it *seems* to be accurate), the batteries last longer if the laser doesn't have to work too hard. I taped a piece of white paper to my mousepad. I didn't actually benchmark it, but it *seems* that the charge lasts longer. Someone club me over the head if this is known BS.

Re: [SWCollect] Ok....melt wizard...
I actually did that a long time ago :-) However, there were only two levels of nerdiness. Level 1 is the self-aware nerd. This is a person who realizes he/she is a nerd, and can control themselves in non-nerd environments. AKA: Closet Nerd or socially acceptable nerd. Level 2 is the unaware nerd. See Revenge of the Nerds for many fictional examples. These are scary individuals in social situations, particularly those involving the opposite sex. AKA: Dork, Dweeb, Geek, Goober.
