Yes, I use spybot and am going to install Adaware also. I'll check out the other progs ya'll recommend. Have a great weekend and thanks again. peace, r

I found nothing that looked suspicious in the HOSTS file. There was: localhost 123.0.0.1 and that was all. I do appreciate you help, carr, pechengs and vops... excellent. I'll reinstall google tool bar and see how it goes. peace, r (wwwwill)

How do I view the "HOSTS file" ?

It appears that Google won't work... I type in a search and hit enter or Go and nothing happens. Also tried hotbot -- the search didn't work either. I wonder if some setting got changed. Other than that it works fine, urls in the address bar take me to wherever. I did uninstall google's...

Hello, I recently got a popup from some website that "checked my computers security." It opened my CD-drive and hi-jacked my home page. I don't remember the name of the site... something like "sspy" or "pcspy". Anyway, now it seems that links on web pages don't...

I had Messenger disabled in the 'services console.' It still pinged every two minutes. Finally I found a microsoft blurb about "How to Prevent Windows Messenger from Running on a Windows xp-based machine." This showed me how to alter the registry and thus stop the pinging. Thank...

So messenger is sending out packets about every minute. Is this normal? Any clues?

In Zone Alarm it refers to a "messenger" so I guess it's windows messenger. In 'control panel> admin tools> services> there is a "messenger", I have that service disabled. I'm not using msn messenger. So I'm pretty sure it's windows messenger.

It looks like MSN messenger has something to do with this. I disabled messenger and unchecked it from the Window Components... it still sends the UDP packet every two minutes unless I have messenger blocked in Zone Alarm. Clues?

I don't know where/how to log or snif the packet. The way this was discovered is in the router (Sonicwall) log. My IP is shown as the source and our router IP is the destination. The message is: Denied UDP packet from LAN. My machine is the only one that is sending out a package every two...

My computer is sending a UDP packet to our firewall every 2 minutes unless Zonealarm is on. Any ideas? I'm running XP Pro. Thanks, Russell

Thank you for the info Matt. It looks like our router is OK. Russell

Hola, I'm looking for sites/info that deal with router security holes, particularly the (Linksys) Network Everywhere NR041 4 port, cable/dsl router. thanks, r

Can someone please explain how to circumvent using public variables by passing arguments to subroutines? Also a good site that ClearLy explains the passing of arguments between subs would also be appreciated. Many thanks... w

Affirmative, and thanks :)

I don't have that method 'getopenfilename.' (VBA in Autocad Map) I do have 'freefile.' And that works, thanks for you help. Is 'getopenfilename' an Office VBA method, or VB6?

I'm still confused as to how this would relate to the "open" statement. How does the 'showsave' method relate to the 'open' statement, sequentially. I don't have the MSDN loaded so I can't access any examples of using the commondialog control and the order of operation regarding it...

I want to allow the user to name the file that will be created. Can I use the commondialog control to facilitate that? If so what would that code look like? Also, does anyone know of a good tutorial on using the commondialog control? The code below is how I've been naming the file. Thanks...
