Just letting Rob know that the Smiley's aren't working for me again

**Johnnny** · 12-13-2004, 07:19 AM

Awhile back in July or August or something none of the smiley's worked.

He said to delete the Internet files in the Internet Options in your Tool list.

I've done that more than once & the smiley's still don't work.

Plus I've just done a clean up with my Panda Anti-Virus System Mechanic & Ad-Aware 6.0 & they still don't work?

Any reason why?

Thanks.

**ZECH** · 12-13-2004, 07:38 AM

Firewall?

**Mudge** · 12-13-2004, 08:09 AM

I imagine the amount of time he can spend to try and get your own system working are somewhat limited.

AdAware 6.0 is outdated, and even with SE I never use it alone.

How about an explanation of how specifically they "dont work," you are leaving us to guess here. At the moment it sounds like the IE animation bug which happens when cache is full, I've found clearing it by hand is more effective. But, you also have to close IE afterwards.

Not even the smileys smile to you Johnnny?

What is the new one out? That is free I might add.

**Johnnny** · 12-13-2004, 08:52 AM

yeah Ad-Aware is out dated.

I currently use Panda Anti-Virus which is amazing & includes a System Mechanic that deep cleans your computer full of junk & spyware much more than Ad-Aware does.

It's great.

I had just finished a scan & clean up & found a shit load of garbage files that Ad-Aware didn't get rid of.

Well one smiley worked just now as you can see, but I can't click on any of the others nor the more smiely's option.

When I do click it, it sends me to the top of the page?

(I had to hand write this one to work)

**DOMS** · 12-13-2004, 08:53 AM

Use Adaware SE and Spybot together. Individually neither is good enough.

Johnnny, are you using any sort of image blocker? Firefox's adblock perhaps?

Thanks for the tip, I will have to look into it.

Well I do have Zone Alarm but I don't think this would block images & no FireFox Adblock.

Oh also now whenever I'm on forums, certain words that I type like internet, or spyware or health get underlined as links which happened to me once before about the same time as the smiley's didn't work.

Someone said this was a virus, but I don't have any virus's as I just did a complete scan & system mechanic scan.

strange.

I always keep my computer clean, plus I didn't use it for 12 days while I was away in Toront on vacation, it was shut down.

Zonealarm wont block smilies it has nothing to do with a firewall its probably your IE settings if your using IE. Smilies require some sort of active scripting you might try lowering the browser security settings in IE or even better go get Mozilla Firefox.

Definately sounds like spyware

**Johnnny** · 12-13-2004, 09:17 AM

Well I just deleted a bunch of garbage spyware again.

Yet certain words are still being underlined such as spyware for example.

This is getting weird.

**Little Wing** · 12-13-2004, 09:45 AM

i have my settings on advanced n they don't always work from just clicking on them so i just copy and paste them.

**DOMS** · 12-13-2004, 09:45 AM

I'm assuming that you use IE. Try FireFox and then let me know if the problem persists.

**Little Wing** · 12-13-2004, 09:46 AM

the underlining shit making certain words links was happening to me too a while ago. spyware for sure. spybot works for me.

**Little Wing** · 12-13-2004, 09:46 AM

i use aol.

AdAware SE, I also use Spybot Search and Destroy, and Spysweeper, and HijackThis!

One spyware program is not enough anymore.

**Little Wing** · 12-13-2004, 11:54 AM

another thing that is annoying sometimes i post a song or list and its all numbered or nicely spaced and then i post it and it's all screwed up. no spacing like the original text. whats up with that?

Dude its called spyware. It could be BargainBuddy or any one of numerous programs hoping that you will click those links and earn them a nickel.

Some servers will put %20 in between spaces, use UNDERSCORE _

I know, but I twice just removed a bunch of spyware garbage & it's still bloody doing this.

It's damn annoying, hell the word spyware you just wrote is underlined

**Stu** · 12-13-2004, 01:58 PM

get a program called HijackThis and post the scan results on here

**irontime** · 12-13-2004, 05:39 PM

errr

You have just successfully used two smilies. Which ones don't work for you? Try putting them down in this thread. Possibly you can't seem them but we can

**Johnnny** · 12-13-2004, 09:31 PM

I will check out all that you guys have mentioned here.

In the past my Anti-Virus's, & Ad-Aware (even though out dated) usually did the trick.

If you read what I said earlier I had to manually type out those smiley codings on the keyboard to get them to work.

I seem to be able to make one smiley selection now & that's it, I can't make any smiley selections?

(this was hand written)

**Mudge** · 12-13-2004, 10:49 PM

Now we are getting somewhere, you can't click on them. Perhaps an update to your McAffee program did it, the Norton Utilities cripples a lot of web stuff.

Why? Because security is NOT friendly.

I was just making you aware that AdAware 6.0 is highly outdated, and using a single program wont cut the mustard in todays world.

Yes its highly highly annoying, I consider it worse than SPAM in my own arena. I hate it with a passion.

I used my Panda Anti-Virus's system mechanic to deep clean my computer on top of Ad-Aware.

The thing is that's really strange is that on a few other forums I'm on their smiley's work no problem.

Currently here now it seems I have only one choice of a smiley selection & then I can't use them again at all.

I have to hand write the coding.

This is why it's hard not to think something is wrong with the smiley's here.

If I can use all smiley's on other forums all the time, than it should be the same here.
