NUMBER 1: RESPONSE to Comments

I want to thank everyone for their FEEDBACK and I apologize in advance for getting lost in the electronic seas for so long. I have been working hard on a WEB NETWORK BROADCASTING project for the last 2 years, and thankfully, my experience has allowed me to keep the show on air, dispite CYBER attacks on my networks, and the likes of machines failing from mysteriously loosing their "SYS32/ Command Files) in both cases a full recovery was in order, and they cost me thousands of dollars because of this (lost data - skitz and the Show archives) however, it was my fault for not BACKING it UP on an external HDD. (Hard Drive) So lesson #1, if you loose DATA, it is your fault, IF, you didn't have it backed up.

OUT of the GATE, if you spam PORN sites of ANY kind on these pages in the comments, you will be removed, deleted, and reported, this is an all ages BLOG. Thank you in advance for keeping your smut to yourself.

Now there are a number of anonymous feedbacks and comments, if you want to be mentioned in the POST, then be sure to include your email, or your signature name or alias in the text. Thank you!

• in response to Hey stephen ! Thank for all the help! What about cleaning out my cookies... and I am not talking about the home baked ones., by Anonymous.

Cookies can be cleaned from the browsers tool section, and clean them that way, or go to the built in cleanup tools in windows and run it and it will get rid of cache and page storages and cookies all at once. on Odds and Ends

• in response to Sounds REALLY nice. I'd be interested on getting a copy.I bought my HP around 6 months ago, so I don't feel like an upgrade yet, but when I do get my hands on a copy and upgrade, oh boy will I have fun exploring Windows 7 OS!, by jasewatson.

Windows 8 is said to be upgradeable from XP, unlike windows 7, but with all the same perks and then some on Windows 7

• in response to Steve, This is Curtis I spoke with you through HP Customer Service. What free software do you reccommend to protect my computer?, by Anonymous.

Today I would say the free version of Microsoft Security Essentials, the basic package is free, and couple this with MALWAREBYTES and you are safe from harm, if you get a harmful pop up dont touch anything but that LAUNCH MALWAREBYTES button, run a scan and it will cut the harmful tethers, remove the threats and restart your machine- good as new. The MSE stops only major viruses and not MOST malware. on Windows Update Error

• in response to I like this Tech blog! It stands out from all the others in this search criteria! I know a great blog when I see it. Thanks for the great information on the subject. The web needs more blogs like this one. Thanks again, and Happy Halloween! Jnewman1, by jerometnewman.

• in response to Hey how does the 7 seas have anything to do with computers and the internet?, by Anonymous.

Yes, sailing the modern 7 seas explains that this is the new age of pirates, the people that are selling you stuff you dont need, and programs and sites on the net that feed off of unsuspecting people, it is a must have though some of the security software info is a bit outdated. on What to Buy Holidays 2009 UPDATE: The highest number of FRAUD and SCAMS in the world is not as much anymore on our phones, and on our doorsteps anymore, as much as it is online. SAILING the MODERN 7 SEAS, is a refferance to the OLD age of PIRATES, and how this is the NEW 7 seas for those NEW generations of Criminals. CYBER PIRATES. I think my second edition release (with updates) will be retitled as SUCH.

• in response to Could you write an article on how to use an external monitor with a laptop PC?? Thanks for all your help... Sue, by Anonymous.

sorry I have neglected this page so long, I will be back at it daily. And yes I will write and article for using an external monitor on your laptop. on What to Buy Holidays 2009 UPDATE: Sue most standard monitors even the OLDER versions have a simple PLUG and PLAY capability, this is because the unit generally has a chip that identifies the unit and the basic operating paramiters to your computer, (desk top or lap top). To use a flip Screen (as it used to be called) all you need to do is connect the monitor to your laptop, and then after it is booted up, simply hit FN+F1 (there should be a tiny picture of a monitor on the key, and it could be on another F key on some models. And in some cases, you simply hit the button, and do not use the FN, alternate key press.) What you will see is it go from your Laptop screen to the External, then a combination of the two, parallell or verticle, depending on your computers operating system.) In most cases advanced settings for this are accessable through your program control console, for your graphic card in Properties.

• Any ideas short of a total system reinstall for removal of rouge programs? on Rogue Ware

This is a rough question. Each infection case varies by degree's depending on what type of infection it really is, this is only determined after hours of rustling with the beast, to determine how damagig the program is. See most malware doesn't want to DESTROY your machine, they simply pretend your infected by locking your files, and then make you pay to regain access to your own system. These types are too intense to crack without alot of CODING Experience in MS OS enviroments. If it does not allow you access to files on the system, save what you can and recover, if not, then attempt restores, and rebuilds. They work 20% of the time, but because of the mass of CODE in the OS, you never know if it is completely gone, without a recovery, as it could pop back up any time it gets opporotunity.

I want to thank everyone for their questions and comments! Now stay tuned for a tomorrow post, and I will continue to the next TOPIC: HOLIDAY Shopping/ Up, downs, and in betweens.
