Thanks for sharing this It's neat to go and look at the old advertisements. Hehe the Sharp laptop ad is pretty cool We had some pretttyyy old Macs in school, and the oldest computer we had using at home that went online was Windows 95.

Scary scary. I'll pass this along to those I know. It's scary how much is going online.. and what (bad) things can happen to/with it. I myself hardly ever write checks... unless its to a person I know very, very well. I used to write checks otherwise but no longer. I'll rarely use my debit card too; usually it's cash or a money order (for bills)

hehe

I love Dilbert

Happy Happy Birthday!!

Oh my...

False positives are very unlikely.

hehehe

Yech.

Oh my gosh... B)

Good ol' AVG... I hope that they resolve this soon.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone! I will definitely be checking out the links! However, I was viewing these items off of my thumb drive, and this is all I want it to do {pic example below}, from within the folder (which it seems like is not possible on Vista [maybe only when the pics are save to the computer it is via WPG, not quite sure since they didn't really have many pictures saved], which is a shame) The computer has 1.5 GB of RAM

Haider, I never noticed that before! Alex, I prefer Scroogle myself but I have used Bing as an alternative when needed. I do use Google once in a while, though.

I'm viewing them off a thumb drive though, they aren't saved to the computer (I don't know if that makes a difference)... I just see the blue sky, mountain, cloud thumbnails (it doesn't show to me like your thumbnails screen shot), but when I double click on a picture, I can arrow through them and see them.

Thanks Shy I was getting annoyed, hehe.

I'm trying to view some pictures like you can in XP (and earlier) when they are in a folder, and you can choose "view as filmstrip" (or maybe its slide show) without having to actually open up the pictures, but I don't see a way to really do that on Vista from within the picture folder. Is there a way to do this, does anyone know? Edit: I found the Windows photo gallery thing, but that's not really want I want. That worked basically like the film strip, but I also want to be able to view the pictures thumbnails as their actual images, instead of the default blue sky w/ clouds that shows for EACH picture's thumbnail. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks for that, Ron. I used the Windows Installer Clean-Up utility about a year and a few months ago after my registry-cleaner incident... and I don't think it damaged anything else on this machine. It's good that they took it down though, since that was a potential risk of using it.

Ohhh cool.

That's cool So is that for making your own on-screen keyboard or are there additional features? (I didn't check out the link yet, but I will sometime). Kaspersky comes with a virtual keyboard embedded into IE and Firefox, and you can bring it up yourself too if you want to use it if you are using another browser or if you want to use it on your computer when you are not using a browser. I know that Windows comes with a very basic one as well.

Yes, Malwarebytes likes to munch on rogues too

I read the subject line and felt kind of queasy... lol. Cute picture

Thanks Haider! I am not quite ready to delete my account yet, but when if or when I am, I'll definitely be referencing your link
