How to fix popups, spyware, malware and nuisance programs

[confus-ed]

Noonoo, 2 problems please:
When trying to download winsockfix, I get that I must "reconfigure" my browser and get proxy permission. Is there another place to download these fixes?

And, more importantly, I misplaced a message to you as a reply to your reply to kerzatz1. Could you look it over and comment?

Thanks a lot!

Noo has many seemingly 'magic' powers but getting back misplaced replies isn't one of them .. if you can't see what you wrote then neither can she, its lost for good in the ether ! (unless it was via pm which I can't see at all)..

Winsockfix gets a whole load of hits on google if you care to try (I can't second guess your proxy permissions from here & neither will our glorious leader ) - which brings me to the point that Noo's link is for 9x - Infact there are different versions for 95, 98 & 98se, me, & finally w2k & xp .. ! So search on Microfts site for the appropriate one for your o/s - I'll go google all the various alternatives later & check which applies to what .. there's also the fact that the DUN upgrades available for each o/s can mess up if not done in the right order - also something for me/whoever to check ..

Btw please don't be like everybody else does here, it drives me nutz, don't use the 'reply with quote button' on the right (sadly it just says reply ! ) unless you are doing what I just did & refering to that reply & that reply only ... use the 'post reply' button on the left - if you have a specific point for an individual put that in bold with their name & 'veterans' of the site will understand it, as for that person only ..
