I have a Linksys ethernet router, and have had no trouble with it, was why I was asking. I am not using it, if you need one to hold you over until that stuff all works out...

I had a linksys router, brand new, that worked once then I couldn't access it. My easy fix was to bring it back and exchange it. I've had no problems since.

I've had issues with linksys routers in the past. Generally I found I had to reboot them from time to time. After some research online I found the issue had to do with the power supply, strangely enough. I haven't heard that as much with the newer ones though.

Actually now that I think about it I have had to reset and reboot it before. Theres a little reset button you stick a paperclip wire into to reset. It's right on the front panel.

how would I copy a web page and then attach it to my post?

like when one of you would copy a page from AM and then post the page in your post?
Fri, 03/16/2007 - 9:20 AM Permalink
KC0GRN

Not exactly....

You can copy elements of a page. But to copy the page itself, you would have to copy the source, and I wouldn't recommend that granted it could mess up the forums when someone happens across that post.

Clue Master

hold 'alt' and 'print scr' then paste into a prog like PS or something. It'll take a picture of what ever is on your screen at the time you copy it with the alt/print scr.

Like this:

Then you can crop it any way you want.

To isolate one post just Right click on the post number and "Copy shortcut" then when you want to post the link right click in the feild where you type your message and click on "Paste". When you post it it will read right and take you to the same post when clicked.

Should I be concerned? :worried:

OT- don't run any scan or anything from that page. If you have an antivirus program you can make sure it's updated, then run a full system scan to remove anything you might have. Just make sure you run the scan from your own program on your own computer.

Thanks mrmikey. I didn't click on anything. They sure make that stuff look official though. I'm happy there are people here to turn to when something like that happens. :smile:

There's a big difference between a pop-up from MS when you first turn your computer on vs. one that comes when you visit a risky site.

If your PC is already infested with spyware and adware, resist the temptation to succumb to impulse buys of anti-spyware products that you see on the Net, esp. those included in the "rogue/suspect" list on this page or advertised on Google. Instead, you can get help online from a corps of savvy volunteers who specialize in busting spyware.

To get help with a spyware infestation:

1. Clean your PC as best you can

Download and run one (or all) of these free anti-spyware scanners and remove whatever spyware and adware it finds.

Ad-aware Personal Edition AVG Anti-Spyware Windows Defender

Spybot Search & Destroy SUPERAntiSpyware

You should also scan and clean your computer with whatever anti-virus program you happen to have installed on your computer. If you don't have an anti-virus program, you can scan your computer with one of these online anti-virus scanners:

BitDefender ScanOnline Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool ewido online scan

Command on Demand Panda ActiveScan Trend Micro Anti-Spyware for the Web

eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner Trend Micro HouseCall (ActiveX)

McAfee FreeScan Trend Micro HouseCall (Java)

... or download and run one of these free standalone virus removal tools:

avast! Virus Cleaner Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool Dr.Web CureIt!

AVG vcleaner Panda PQRemove

McAfee AVERT Stinger Sophos SAV32CLI

or if you're like me, search the net for walkthroughs on how to clean the spyware out yourself.

A couple months ago, I completely rooted out all the spyware/adware on a friend's PC. It took me... 12 hours total to do it, but I'll guarantee I got rid of ALL of it. Granted reformattting the hard drive and reinstalling all the software would have taken that long, but there was a lot of personal data on the system.

Word to the wise, save all your personal data on a CD, DVD, external hard drive or a USB jumpdrive. Personally I'm choosing to backup photos and other documents I'm not working on on CDs and DVDs, and save the stuff I am working on on a large USB jumpdrive, so I can modify it. I'm trying to treat anything on my hard drive as stuff I can afford to lose.
