I was taught by the experienced staff here at WTT, (but still know much less than they do}.how did you learn to do all that?
It’s never too late to start learning.I would love to work with computers
Windows 7 has an excellent backup utility.Should I make a backup now? Or should I make an image thing?
To set up a backup in Windows 7 open up Computer right-click on C: and select Properties. Click on the “Tools” tab and click Back up now I would suggest that you backup on a separate external disk.
System Restore only restores Windows system files, programs and registry settings.If this screws up again on me, I could just go to today's restore point, right
. No. I personally dislike cCleaner for this reason alone. The registry should be left alone. One of the malware experts, miekiemoes, has an excellent write-up hereShould I ever go into cCleaner and clean out the registry?
Another excellent article by Bill Castner is located here
That's kind of you. I can temporarily change the “donate” button to link to my personal account. I’ll do this later as I have to rush now.I wish I could donate just to you….. Is there any way to do that?
Not really - about 3 hours south of London.Do you live near London?

I don’t like any registry cleaners – they can cause a great deal of harm and leave programs unusable.do you like cCleaner or do you prefer another one. I am afraid I have the habit of cleaning the registry just because I think it is getting rid of junk
You really should let programs uninstall themselves properly and unless you are very knowledgeable, leave the registry in peace.
cCleaner can also clean out your temporary files, I believe, but then so can ATF Cleaner, (which is what I use although, I probably shouldn’t because it hasn’t been updated for a while), or TFC, (Temporary File Cleaner). You can try them and see what you think:
ATF Cleaner
Download ATF Cleaner
- double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe (on your desktop) to run the program.
- under Main choose: Select All
- click the Empty Selected button.
- click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
- click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Opera browser
- click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
- click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu
NOTE: The last update came out before Chrome and the developer of ATF Cleaner hasn't updated it to deal with Chrome yet.
Google Chrome includes its own “Clear Browsing Data” tool that performs the same functions as ATF Cleaner. It clears browsing history, download history, empties Chrome’s cache, deletes cookies and removes all saved autofill entries and passwords.
You can toggle each of these options and select the date range of data you want to remove.
You can access the tool by clicking on the wrench menu in Chrome, and choose Tools, Clear Browsing Data.
===============================================
Download TFC to your desktop
- close any open windows.
- double click the TFC icon to run the program
- TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
- click the Start button to begin the process.
- allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
- the program should not take long to finish it's job
- once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
- if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean
Microsoft Security Essentials is what I use as do some of the others in the Malware team. I personally wouldn’t touch Norton and although AVG is good, it's getting a bit bulky and tends to slow things down. Other good free ones are Avast and Avira.what do you think is the best antivirus?
You don’t need it, but you should have it if you want to view web sites properly. Many websites have flash animation, and to play those, you will need Flash Player. YouTube, for example also requires Flash.I was told on the forums here to download adobe flash player, what is it and do I need to download it?
If you install it, like Java and Adobe Reader, you must regularly update to the latest version and uninstall old versions, which are a vulnerability.
I did say that it was not necessary and you should not feel obliged to do it but thank you for the kind gesture..I donated you money, but not sure how your conversion works. I wish it could be more, but I am up to my neck in dr. bills. Sorry
Have you been to our “Meet and Greet” forum to say hello to others that enjoy being here and want to swap their stories . Maybe you can pick up some tips and also give others some of your tips.
You can find it here.
Take care Patti
