Q: i have spent the last two days removing a dialer from my computer. all seems quiet and it hasnt reappeared. i believe that i picked it up at a web site. that web site is set as my home page in ie. i change it but it keeps coming back. does anyone have an idea as to what keeps changing it back the only way that i dare use ie is to open it through a link in an email in outlook express. beekeep this is my standard answer to people that ask me what to do about an infected computer they dont have to be done in this order but ive found it works best. tr i would download and run ad-aware free be sure to update it after you install it. http//www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ you should also run spybot search and destroy free http//www.safer-networking.org i ran this new microsoft program and it found 3 things that the other programs i use didnt. http//www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx then run at least two of these free online virus scan programs rav http//www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ panda http//www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/ bitdefender http//www.bitdefender.com/scan/license.php after you are sure the machine is clean download and install spywareblasterfree to help keep it that way http//www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html good luck tom i love this. i norton everything and never even have to update it its smart and does it itself. course im in this business and its the best product out there if yall werent so cheap you wouldnt need 5 damn programs to take care of this issue. also note we dont allow adware on any domain we service reason being it also installs its out spybot.....the cycle never ends. 30 bucks is cheap for something that provides firewall email scans web scans worm protection system scans and automatic live updates daily if you so desire. if you run with the auto-protect always on you never have to worry about nothing.... but what the hell we make millions a year fixing contaminated pcs. i guess i shouldnt complain. -- moparman---remove clothes to reply! --scud coordinates 32.61204 north 96.92993 west-- .

on mon 07 mar 2005 221311 gmt nosey kfrei43@removethis.hotmail.com wrote im leaving ca for alaska for a few weeks of travel with my 04 arctic fox 5th wheel behind my 03 2500 laramie ho 4wd. i already have 60k on the original tires and want to change them out before i leave. i was in talking to big-o today as that is where i have bought for the past 15-20 years or so and he is recommending the big foot a/t. he says it handles wet roads much better than the mich. i have on there yeah not much traction on the originals. also rated for 70k miles. he did say there might be a bit more road noise but not much. these are lt265/70r17. more tire info at http//www.bigotires.com/index.asppg=2&sub=12b&catid=01big31 or http//tinyurl.com/5rmh4 for short. for 4 tires he will toss in the alignment. this is a tire i expect to last 24 - 30 months so i want to have something that wont be bothersome. is this a good tire are there better ones out there in the $7-800 price range the only complaint i really have about the michilins sp is the lack of traction on wet pavement. -- fmb only one b in fmb watch out for the load range when towing. ive been eyeing the bfg long trail ta for my 2500. comments on these would be appreciated from the group. the roads from seward up to denali national park are very good. i cant say about any others i flew into anchorage and drove n/s from there. last time we drove up with the fifth-wheel was in 2003 the alaska highway was all payved exept for construction zones. mind you some were as long as 15 miles. the higway will never be finished there will always be construction due to the harsh climate. we never had a flat on either the dodge or the trailer. now if you want to drive the dempster up to inuvik that becomes another story. it is all gravel and north of eagle plains the gravel is shale sharp as a knife. there it is not a question of whether you will have a flat or not it is when you will have one. again have a good trip. hank .

jerry wrote no.spam@junk.mail.net wrote then go to http//www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/1.0.html and dump the micro$oft trash im presently using firefox and find it works very well. small clean and not cluttered with useless bells and whistles. actually it is a toss up as to which one i like best firefox or netscape 7.0 which i also like. i have always hated ie and avoid it at all times. firefox recommends a program called thunderbird as a mail and reader which im using now and again it is a good program except for its inability to let you click on a link when the reader is open and go directly to that location. instead you have to copy the link location and then paste it into firefox to get there. very annoying but doable. firefox had no problems with links itself. btw both of these programs are free from mozilla. jerry im using thunderbird as my email and ng reader. also using firefox as my default browser. i have no problem clicking on links in email or ng. i have no firefox extensions/plugins installed. .
