  1. Try Malwarebytes Anti-malware to remove infection from your desktop. Load it onto a usb thumb drive, boot to safe mode then run it. If that doesn't do it, post in the "am I infected" forum on Bleeping Computer. This is where I go for help for almost any computer issue, including BSOD's, malware, or anything else. Be patient, as it is all volunteer people who most have regular jobs.

  2. I found this in extremely poor taste and etiquette that one would complain about this on a thread that was dedicated to wishing someone a happy birthday. You could have sent me a message privately asking why and how it is determined instead of publically denouncing this and derailing this thread.

    To miztrniceguy..my apologies that a thread that should have been a happy one turned into a sour one.

    Not bothered by it at all, Pam. Sour grapes just turn into w(h)ine :lol:

  3. Use Ccleaner to uninstall then clean. It will also clean up the registry. Also use it to see what's in startup section and eliminate what doesn't have to start. Programs that you do not need on startup like Adobe programs can be turned off so they start when you need them. If you are not sure if you need it on startup google the program name.

  4. If somehow I ended up with a Win8 computer, first thing I would do is partition the drive (or install separate drive) and put Win7 on it. I recently won an Asus Vivo tablet with Win8 RT. Luckily Micro Center let me substitute a Samsung Galaxy with Android. It was $50 less, and I used that and the $100 gift card that came with it to buy a stand alone copy of Win 7 Pro 64bit which I will use next time I upgrade my desktop hardware. My desktop currently is set to dual-boot to XP Pro (32bit) or OSx Lion. I can easily set a tri-boot option at that time.

  5. I have been paying electronically for about 2 years with bill pay, too. I get direct deposit from work, too and tithing is the first item in my excel spreadsheet. For about 6 years I had a 2nd acct that I had the 10 % go into, but suddenly my bank started charging me a fee so I closed it. It was nice being completely separated, but did not want to pay a fee since the deposit amount wasn't enough to avoid the fee. Still mad they changed.

  6. The transition from Office 2003 to 2007/2010 was a little challenging with the new menus and document format, but it's not hard to get used to it.

    I have had Office 2010 since it was new. I hate that they have added 438 buttons on the menu bars in Word and Excel. Who needs all those tools? I have eliminated most of them, but still more than I want. Blech :rant::rant::rant::rant:

  7. Consider yourself blessed that your husband provides without you having to work outside the home too. On the other hand, there are some households where the wife is also a WAHM providing significant income, while hubby works outside the home, and does all the dishes, laundry, and most housecleaning, too on his days off. ^_^

    Ladies, I need an attitude adjustment lately. I really try to find the joy in life and be thankful for my womanhood, but right now, I'm kind of hating it.

    I am not a feminist. I am pretty traditional, and I've had good men around me all my life so I don't really have a problem with the patriarchal order of things.

    Maybe it's that I'm in a place in life where I have young kids and a husband that's always working and not a lot of freedom. But tonight as I did yet more dishes and laundry, I just started feeling like it's not fair. I get all of the grunt work, and none of the authority and freedom that my good husband seems to get. Don't get me wrong; I love and appreciate him and I know he works hard at a job he doesn't always like. He presides over our home righteously and defers to me in many things. I guess my issue is that he has had somewhat of a choice in what his daily work will be. He works in a field he finds interesting and enjoyable at least some of the time.

    But no matter what, as a SAHM, my work will always be dishes and laundry and cleaning and changing many diapers a day and running the errands and seeing to the stuff that the breadwinner can't, which right now is everything. . . the errands, including his, the yard work, the parent-teacher conferences, the car maintenance, etc. He's great about taking over so I can get out, if he's not working and I have the energy to go anywhere, but that doesn't happen a lot.

    Let's not even touch the fact that if I die before him, I could get saddled with another wife of his choosing, and he never has to worry about that.

    It's strange to feel this way, because I've almost always found delight in being a woman. I don't know, maybe I'm just tired. Do you ever feel this way?
