Clearing out emails

I am trying to clear out the inbox of various emails from various groups.  I had one invitation for Yahoo group for health and it had expired already but I still tried to join but couldn't get the capture sign ins they usually have to prevent bot sign ons.  It got very frustrating. 

I also noticed that Yahoo groups did away with their calendars.  That really sucks but then again I don't use them very much.

Java 7 update

10:30 this morning updated to Java 7.  Unchecked the box for including Ask.tool bar on the tool bar section.

Computer still continues to run a tad slow when some sites are loading along with emails filling in.

Connectivity issues

After a few weeks of connectivity issues I am back on my own computer.  I guess we had some problems with the routers and tried to replace them it turns out that one isn’t compatible with this and we had to get a new modem.  So now everyone has access (including Mom and the lap top).

Even though Windows does not have support for Windows Xp I did get updates yesterday.  For some reason there is a red X on the NOrton shield but I did a scan and everything is fine.  I even tried the updates.  I will have to do it again.

Recent updates

I know its been a couple of months.  GMail did some updates to their mail program over the last several months and I just actually saved all their emails to the Computer folder on the hard drive.

I don't know if there were any Norton updates or Windows updates recently but I will take better track of them.

Question:  If I leave a thumb drive on a computer (linked in or whatever) will that cause problems?  Should I do a virus scan as well?

ETA:

Did a scan for the thumb drive its fine.  Currently running a full scan on the computer...started nearly two hours ago...its still going.  found and cleared out two risks (cookies or something).

Windows Error reporting.

I got one of these this evening...

I hope it isn't because of all the emails I have been saving in groups...I guess I can do a scan...

I had two more crashes.  Executable something.  I am not sure what that meant.  The Full system scan is going on right now.  I will probably have to the updates and more virus scans.

The full system scan was still going on at 10:24 pm...This is an awfully long time.  I haven't  looked at the updates but maybe I can do it some time after work tomorrow.

The scan was completed at 11:28 and no problems were found.  Tomorrow I will do updates and stuff like that.

Have some questions

Things with the computer are good-knock on wood.   Still combining emails to save space (or so I think).  

Do have questions:  why does the players whether its the Real player or windows constantly buffer or stop.  Its annoying.

What to do when emails are hacked

Earlier this week my niece emily’s email account had been hacked and as a result many in her contact list was sent an email with a link in it.  The first thing I did was email her and text ehr to see if she was aware and she was.  I suggested she had to change her password.  After I thought about it I wasn’t sure what else had to be done until I saw this this morning.  I then discovered it has more in depth steps.  Something that makes me anxious.  I want something like the above link to be quick and easy and usually its not so easy and quick.  Of course I will save them to the hard drive when time permits.

There was  windows update today.

Learned something new this week

This past week I was experimenting on how to save multiple emails all together.  If there is a subject or threads of discussions you find them and save them and they are all saved in one text document. I think it may save on document making and memory and stuff like that.

When the Mouse Freezes

My mouse froze but I could sort of click on tabs or “x” out of something.  I don’t know why.  do you?  Anyone reading this?  Well I turned it off at the tower and seems to be working for now.

HOme Computer

When I came home to use my computer today it took several tries to get connected to the internet (Firefox).  I also had some trouble saving a couple of documents from my Google Drive to the harddrive that I had to save the actual web page with the document.   I was afraid I was having connectivity issues or not enough memory in the computer itself.  After a few more tries it seems to be okay.  Knock on Wood.  Can anyone tell me why this would happen though?

The issues must have resolved it self.

No Windows Update shield in the task bar.   No blue screen thank goodness.

Having issues

For the last two days having weird issues.  Windows update for the 2007 office suites and the 2003 excel don't seem to stick.  MOm also having the same problem.   It has been done several times.  It seems to be fine now. 

For some reason I had a Blue Screen aka Stop Screen.  Really hoping this doesn't mean the hard drive is beginning to die.

Two different days

This past week I had a couple of updates.  One was earlier in the week and one this morning that had three updates.  Todays was for the 2007 Office updates and 2003 excel

Windows update

I had a Microsoft windows update done yesterday...about 9 updates...

Delta Search engine 2

Well Delta Search engine popped up on my computer again and once again I took it off of foxfire but it won't come off of Google Chrome yet Norton says its okay. No problems. sigh..I really hope it isn't going to destroy my computer.

Delta Search

Well if you have been following this entry you will see I had to do a Java update and ended up  with things I didn’t want on the computer.  I thought the Java was ligitimate and now I am not so sure.  Anyway, I have found removal instructions for the Delta Search that has made the computer hard to deal with.  Apparently has “viruses” and so forth.  I can’t believe I allowed it to get on.  I should have it fixed before going to bed tonight.

What's with Firefox tonight?

I am getting aggravated.  First FireFox goes into Safemode and I have no damn idea why.  I did it like three times then I ended up just turning the damn thing off and rebooting that seems to be clear.  I also tried using google chrome and that wasn’t working.

Then I click onto a blog and it says my flashplayer needs updating so I go to start it and It didn’t seem right I tried to cancel it seemed like it too forever.

Prior to tonight things seem okay.  I haven't had a reminder to update Norton but I check it every so often and its stills active.

It crashed and rebooted again

it happened again
