RE: Google search results forwards me to 201.218.196.152
The "Research" add-on usually comes from Microsoft Office, in which case it is safe. However, you can disable it anyway, as it is only required for the research pane nobody uses. The other one is definitely malware trying to disguise itself as a s... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 10-02-2007 at 10:00 PM |
RE: Google search results forwards me to 201.218.196.152
Try to disable any IE add-ons (Tools->Manage Add-ons). Other than that, it is safe to say that you have acquired malware of some sort. If no antivirus and antispyware product will find and remove it (which is possible -- there's always something ... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 10-02-2007 at 09:30 PM |

RE: Firewall in my university!!
Simple -- set up a VPN with appropriate routes on a computer at your home, so that when you connect to it all your traffic is redirected over your home Internet connection. As added benefit, the school will not be able to monitor what you do over t... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 10-01-2007 at 04:07 PM |

RE: OS recognition
This is the result of some add-on or proxy messing with your User-Agent. You can see what your current User-Agent string looks like by visiting [url=http://pgl.yoyo.org/http/browser-headers.php] this page[/url].

RE: Motherboards, Sata and Vista (reccommendations/fixes/HELP!! :-( )
One, actually. :p You might want to look into SATA controller cards. You probably have an empty slot and a basic controller card should cost a lot less than a motherboard. | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 09-26-2007 at 03:41 PM |
RE: Motherboards, Sata and Vista (reccommendations/fixes/HELP!! :-( )
You seem to think the problem is the motherboard. While that is possible, I would normally suspect the drive first. A failing (now failed for good) drive explains all the symptoms you've had; it probably got bumped one time too many during the mo... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 09-25-2007 at 09:34 PM |
RE: C:/data infected
It is just the trojan named "data" in hope you will be afraid to delete it. Go ahead and do it. | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 09-24-2007 at 12:10 AM |
RE: [Help Please] MSN Making Computer Restart?
My guess (this is not a typical problem) would be that your Windows installation is somehow damaged or that you have bad hardware. Does it ever restart when you do anything else? I'd suggest that you start by [url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/32... | Adeptus | Skype & Live Messenger | 09-23-2007 at 03:41 PM |
RE: woo, there goes freedom.
If you know what the law and your rights are, and you are asked by the police for something you are not required to do -- then you can (and should) refuse. An excellent example of this (under the laws of most U.S. states) is police asking to search y... | Adeptus | General Chit Chat | 09-20-2007 at 04:09 PM |
RE: How old is my CPU?
The games will benefit from a faster CPU as well, but even more so from a better graphics card. One of the reasons I am still satisfied with a 3GHz machine similar to yours is that the graphics card was upgraded about two years ago and was top end wh... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 09-10-2007 at 01:17 PM |
RE: How old is my CPU?
The Core 2 processors are a lot faster than a 3GHz Northwood, but it's quite possible that your current system is [i]fast enough[/i]. Does anything you do take too long or any games you want to play don't play smoothly (or at all)? My desktop mach... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 09-10-2007 at 04:16 AM |
RE: [Urgent] I/O operation failed
You didn't check the checkbox I told you to check, so it didn't do a surface scan. Even if you made the symptoms go away by doing something else, I'd still recommend that you do the scan -- your problems very much sound bad sector related. | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 08-27-2007 at 01:26 AM |
RE: [Urgent] I/O operation failed
Try to scan your drive for errors and select "Check for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Do this at a time you won't need the computer for a while, because you will have to reboot to run the scan, it will take a good while, and you won't be... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 08-26-2007 at 12:12 AM |
RE: Building a custom pc
Unless they've changed a lot for the Core 2 processors, Intel's stock coolers are fairly quiet -- not exceptionally so like Zalman, but less noisy than majority of third party coolers. | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 08-26-2007 at 12:10 AM |
RE: Building a custom pc
I notice that your original configuration includes a retail boxed CPU and a Zalman cooler. There's nothing wrong with that if you want the Zalman for the right reason, but in case you didn't know, Intel retail boxed CPUs come with an adequate cool... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 08-24-2007 at 10:15 PM |
RE: HP Pavilion problem...PLEASE HELP :(
I would suspect you have a SATA chipset that requires a third party driver with XP (pretty much all of them other than integrated SATA of Intel mainboard chipsets). You will need to press F6 during Windows XP setup and insert a floppy with the appro... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 08-22-2007 at 04:08 AM |
RE: Remote Assistance Help.
The two main reasons this happens are: both you and the user you are trying to help are behind NAT routers (in theory shouldn't be a problem if the routers support UPnP) and firewalls. You should ask the person you are trying to assist to turn off a... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 08-18-2007 at 10:04 PM |
RE: Event Log invasion of my privacy
It's not as much of a privacy problem as you seem to think. The log only records what people could see if they were looking at their Messenger window, anyway. If they didn't have Plus!, they could keep an eye on it and see you online. Why does t... | Adeptus | WLM Plus! Help | 08-18-2007 at 04:46 PM |
RE: Looking for a photoshop tutorial (Example Included)
That is not a photo at all -- it appears to be a 100% drawing. To a limited degree, it can probably be done in Photoshop, but the Adobe application intended for such work (and much more capable at it) is Illustrator. If you are serious about it, get... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 08-17-2007 at 11:38 PM |
RE: Dell PowerConnect 3448P Switch
The DHCP address the switch received probably has a web-based management interface on it. It should be much easier to use than the command line interface. Just poke around and see what you can find. Other than that, I would expect it to work with t... | Adeptus | Tech Talk | 08-14-2007 at 02:59 PM |
RE: Unicode string to hex not working
I suspect the "for" loop is working fine. Since all the character codes of the English and Western European alphabets, digits and punctuation are below 255, the behavior you describe -- the bitwise "and" producing a value equal to the character... | Adeptus | Scripting | 08-14-2007 at 03:34 AM |
RE: Unicode string to hex not working
What is this supposed to do? It may be best if you can post a small sampe of input and desired output.
