Dan,thats an interesting site.Seems to me these very cheap software deals can only be legit if they originate from businesses, that were holding large inventories,getting into financial trouble.I assume Symantec and McAfee were using resellers?
Well I have done it now.I ordered from ebay/half.com.Its norton works 2003 with antivirus and one year update.Price $16 plus $2 insurance plus $2 mail.Payment by paypal.My guess is something will arrive but will it work?IMO if I get scammed it reflects very badly on ebay/half.com.I will keep the board informed.
Yes AKvetch,I have got that one unchecked.I think that is why this thing irritates me ,they are being really tricky.
Those costco prices you posted look interesting but the sticky point will be proving previous ownership.
From a link I got at the top of this board,I went to half.com.There is someone selling norton 2003 WORKS with one year updates for $20 shipped.Can I trust him?
I have norton 2002 and it is up to date 2/22/03.No, I have all the update boxes unchecked in the options.
Actualy I didnt want to make a big deal out of this little thing.I think what I really want is to find a way to defeat a marketing scheme that I consider to be similar to spam.
Useless?Really?My opinion is that my chances of getting the latest virus are negligible.My main risk is viruses that have been in circulation for months.The NAV has only just expired.I dont see any reason why I shoulnt keep it as long as I want.It came with the puter.I paid for the puter.I feel no obligation towards symantec.
I saw no harm in asking how to stop the popup.Someone knows how.Just not here.
Norton AV.I have uninstalled norton live update but I still get the popup trying to get me to pay for an update.This popup seems to happen at random times.I also have AVG installed.Last virus that arrived AVG notified me first.
Norton antivirus.When you buy a new puter you often get three months "free"norton antivirus.After that you have to pay if you want updates.There is no warning about what they will do if you dont pay.Seems like their latest policy is to constantly stick their popup in your face if you dont pay.Does anyone know how to get rid of the popup?
Catching dolphin?Just what do you mean?
Joe I am short AMZN and I regret it.It will go down one day(when the california govenor announces internet taxes).In the meantime there are easier shorts.
F.Anyone think ford is a good short at $7?
OT.ever wonder why softechies beers never arrive?I think Bullarky might be intercepting them.
tc isnt that nice of them!Go to the x10 website and they will give you a months holiday from their advertising!Such generosity!
The problem is they have hacked my puter and installed their program there.A popup program stops the popups but they are still there spying on me and making free use of my puter.So I finally downloaded spybot and it found some stuff that adaware didnt.I hope that will fix the problem
I was so impressed I downloaded spybot to my other puter where I thought there were no problems according to adaware.I was shocked when spybot found more than a dozen spies.
X10 wireless camera.Is anyone else having trouble with these people hacking your computer?They are bombarding me with popups.I am spending a lot of time searching for their files planted in my computer.I have zone alarm and adaware but it doesnt seem to stop them returning.Is there any site where I can report this?I thought they were a legitamite company.I have no idea what they hope to achieve by these methods.
Well I got his puter going again using the restore program.So I still dont know exactly what the problem was.I found the troubleshooting program to be no help.In addition I found the XP system on his HP to be significantly different to the one on my Dell.His processor is an Athlon but it looked to me like HP has massaged XP making it harder to find the settings.
I have a mexican friend who just bought his first puter so his son could keep up to speed with his school work.He bought an HP desktop and a sevice contract at Best Buys.The puter worked for a couple of weeks and then stopped connecting to the internet.It has been a couple more weeks and it looks like no one else will help him,so even though I am not even half a geek I am going to his place tomorrow to see what I can do.I invite suggestions on what I should look for.Since neither his service provider or his ISP have been able to help him,I suspect this is going to be more than just checking the settings in the dialup window.My friend is a total novice and cannot give me any info about the problem.The operating system will be XP and the internet provider is MSN.I dont even know if the puter is just not dialing or if it is dialing but not making the connection.An example of what I might be looking for is,can the fax function interfer with the internet connection?If you have any ideas,please post all the moves I must make to view the settings you refer to.Thanks in advance for any help.
Basserdan,is HL a good one to buy for a siver play?
BUY YHOO>YHOO breaking out.No really.They wouldnt kid about something like this.<g>
Is the market anticipating an Attack on Iraq this weekend?If it happened the market would rocket on monday?Initial reports would be lots of territory taken and few casualtys.The sticky part comes later......
Jerry,does Qcharts do level 2 and also time and sales?
thanks lostcowboy.Lowering the text size fixed it.I was of course trying to make things easy for my eyes which arnt getting any younger.When I bought this laptop I got a free upgrade to the highest resolution screen.I thought that was a good deal but maybe it wasnt.There seems to be some relationship between resolution and text size which I havent figured out yet.
Windows XP.On some pages the text is squeezed together and unreadable.Anyone know what adjustment I should make?
Thanks for the replies on macrovision.I turned off my active X.I hope that stops macrovision popup.Not sure what the repercussions will be but as long as the page text appears I should be happy.
I need opinions on macromedia flash player.I have xp.I am getting constant popups urging me to download macromedia.Even though it is free I suspect this thing might display advertising amoung other things.
OT mainehiker have you tried system restore?
Anyone watching Agilent?They announce more losses and layoffs and it goes up????
OT.If a scud can be launched from a truck,then it can be launched from a ship.It wouldnt be very accurate but then they arnt anyway.This subject came up ,of course,because of a report of three ships leaving Iraq and remaining at sea.
OT redwards.Scuds could be launched from a ship .I know what you are thinking and if it happened it would put the market on its ear.But I think the chance of it happening is slight.
level 2.The simple answer is that the MM's are crooks and the playing field is not level.Aparently it isnt first come first served,and they can push in anywhere they want.
On the other hand shorts want to be ready for the gap down on tuesday
Joe,you think TYC might spike up on that news?
OT.Well what happened to Don Maclain?
dang it!ALA just wont break.IMO it belongs with NT and LU.
Why is DDR cheaper than SDRAM?

john disney a south african?Seems Ratanga junction is located near Capetown.
justamother are you cereal?All I have to do is put a video card in my puter and it turns into a TV?
Where the hell is the short covering rally??
wahz,will you hold shorts over the weekend?When will you decide?How will you decide?
I like your secret indicator.
mlsoft,not ATML.ASML.Dutch eqip maker.Negative earnings.Debt matches cash.But I think they specialise in the camera sector which is doing good?
mlsoft re equipment stocks.Do you watch ASML?Any opinion?
OK,I searched my puter for files or folders containing connect2party.I found three items.I deleted them.Then I went to the recycle bin and found them there.I emptied the recycle bin.
