'Beneath You'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Cool page, Jon. Everything looks good with NAV in place -- I'll try later without it.
Some of the stuff NAV reports is bunk -- attacks from inside my house (he's PINGING FROM INSIDE THE NETWORK!!!) and sometimes it has a dislike of stuff returned by web servers. Others, though, have been reported intrusion attempts from machines that aren't internet servers, and those make me worry.
Hee. Posting from the Powerbook now. I'm using Safari, but I've downloaded Opera. It's telling me to drag it into the Application folder to install.
Application folder? I've heard of that. I just have no idea where it is ... this learning curve will be fun!
Okay, found it. Now for Firefox.
I have several questions!
1) Due to being a sloppy internetter, my computer is full of crap, giving me popup ads all the freaking time. I uninstalled a couple of things I thought might have been the culprit, and ran AdAware a bunch of times, but yet it still happens. Any ideas?
2) Is there any way to get stuff off a pdf into a spreadsheet without retyping it?
3) Is there anything I need to know before I burn my first CD? (I realize I am late to the game.)
As ever, thanks in advance.
Jesse, you could also try installing and running Spybot. Sometimes different spyware programs are better at whacking certain bugs. You may also have something that respawns every time you reboot. You might see what AdAware catches, make a note of the name, and do some research on the 'net.
Ah, Spybot. Thanks -- I knew there was another one, but forgot what it was called.
You also need to reboot in Safe mode and then run the program.
Frelling Windows.
Run which program? Spybot?
Both, really.
Right on, thanks.
