I'm using Revo uninstaller on my laptop and have a question...it's done the uninstall and has scanned for any leftover files. The window up now says: Note: Please carefully verify the bolded items! Only checked bolded items and their subitems will be deleted! The file that's bolded is at the furthest branch of this tree...My Computer>HKEY_Classes_ROOT>CLSID and then this.... "3B6C15BE-F9FD-7E15-F865-ABA8E2A09915>. That's the only bolded item. I have no idea if this is what I'm supposed to delete. Does Revo know best and should I just choose "delete"? I'll leave it on the screen until I hear something. :) Pam

3gb works better than 2gb only after the 2gb is used up... if that makes any sense. When you dont have enough ram things slow down as you open more and more windows and do stuff it starts swapping data to the hard drive which is quite slow compaired to the ram. ...next chapture... What happens with an unmatched pair of dual channel memory sticks is it runs in single channel mode,,,,, and when you browse the web or run light duty applications that arent needing more than two gb it slows down everything, because two wires are faster than one - --- not tons slower but it is noticable,,, ive experimented here. Bought 4gb and my laptop only handles 2gb(acpi irq holder, bummer) so I tried with just one 2gb module,, and it was instantly a noticable bit slower than running 2 sticks of 1gb modules. Lost the snappyness. Sort of kind of ...DDR2 ram is kind of like a double lane highway and when it runs unmatched pair of memory sticks bios switches it into plain DDR mode and that highway now narrows to a single lane.

Caroline... If you were to go to free.grisoft.com and look at the page that compares free versus the paid version you'll see mainly that the paid version offers additional protection for spyware, maybe popups, and rootkits. There's other programs that offer spyware protection and rootkit searches available for free. Urlee... no they dont accumulate, they replace old with new files.

If you are not familiar with tools like sniffer and firesheep which are simple firefox add ons and many more such tools then it might be a good idea to hit google and learn about them. You might say well such and such has been removed but the truth is that they are making new ones to replace the ones removed faster than they can be discovered. They are out there they are used OFTEN at hotspots so be aware of the situation you are in when you access anything at any public wifi. If you have never been to a security convention and watched a brute force take over of a pc in mere seconds you are missing something because it brings you face to face with reality. The tools to do these kinds of things are not pro tools you can google how to do it and find all the instructions you need. Never take the head in the sand approach, that it can not happen to you, who would want your stuff, well it may not be so much they want your stuff, they want your pc, to take over and be able to use to do what they need it to do, whether that is to spread spam, porn, or other illegal activities, and the bad part about that is if it is ever busted it is your pc, in your home, and you have to prove it was not you doing it.This exact thing has happened several times in real court cases. Not to be terrified either, but keep an open mind, educate yourself as to what is out there and how easy it is to accomplish. What simple things you can do to protect your self if you do have to use a public wifi. For example I never use any public wifi with out putting my portable router between me and that access, and that puts a wpa2 layer on just like my router at home does. It is small portable and not expensive, if I go on the road it goes with me. If I am using any pc including mine anyplace that may be suspect I use a linux live cd to access any sites that I may be concerned about including those with passwords and any financial transactions. If you care to learn about using a proxy that is another option to put in place. you can google that too. Here is some reading material for those truly interested in this. Using tools like https everywhere can also help.
