Free is good!!! Thanks for the link :-)

Kinda defeats the purpose to list proxies, once they are known they can be blocked :-(
why not use Tor, with Privioxy? TorTor is slooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww... but still if anonymity is the decider go with tor and only ssl connections (then even if the exit node is compromised they have to break ssl).

<wetelectric> "<randomIRCDude2> he's just in it for the fame and girls
Ya all the fame and girls.
Wait one girl and not as much fame as you could get, I kinda doubt it, seeing as he makes no money from it (I don't think, maybe brakes even????????)

I guess if you needed something only they had (ITT Tech) but try a 'real college', I hear MIT is good ;)

See Astaro they do email encryption and AV and some other stuff, GRC's Security Now does a commercial on them and might have a discount :-).
-
Oh the irony :-). Thanks for the post, I enjoyed it :-)

Take it a part see what happens if you do x with it, hmmm maybe see if you can make a wireless usb thumb drive with that and a thumb drive? :)

Seems kinda weird to me, and also how it does it may probably effects performance etc. Also I never did get web apps and cloud stuff, maybe I'm a privacy nut :-)

Nice ASCII art, also nothing is bullet proof but a PC that is unplugged and off (well besides physical access and plugging it back it). But I guess this would be better than nothing :-)

Midget!! It could be a regular size person too! Gosh so insensitive ;-). I like that analogy though works great :-).
And I thought I was paranoid using only AES 1024 (4 x AES 256)

Healthcare is great! Private that is, one question, just to make sure I understand. Why should one person pay for another person's healthcare instead of their own?

Ya ok ATT may be behind it too but still, Google has their own phone and even if they didn't it is Apple's phone and Google needs to grow up and stop asking mommy and daddy to protect them (the government). :-)

If all people will buy Intel like the old days processors are way too expensive that's why not so many people have computers specially on the 3rd world country's so for me i'll choose AMD simply to help AMD kick Intel out of the top and Intel will kick AMD again at the end it's always end user's benefit ^__^
Why? Let the person with the best proc for the job get your money (not saying intel or AMD is better), another company will come along if AMD fails and hell a business either needs to be successful or fail (oops my capitalism is showing :-))

What are your guys/gals opinions on the whole Apple, Google FCC thing?
Mine?
I think that Google needs to stop wining. It is Apple's Platform they have the right to do what ever they see fit, and I don't see how they are being 'anti competitive', Google does have its own phone? Right? Apple shouldn't have to potentially lose customers itself? Isn't there goal to gain customers and if they feel that the Google Apps will jeopardize this, fine so be it, Apple loses a application that might attract users.

I also had a problem with neither IE or iTunes or Chrome could connect to the internet...
so far I have IE able to....
I ran "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -extoff even if you don't have extenstions run it if you have problems... it worked for me :-)
Chrome
Delete the install folder of Google Chrome in C:\Documents and Settings\David Morehouse\Local Settings\Application Data\ it is called Google highlight it and hit SHIFT DEL and confirm (it will actually delete it not just move it to the recycle bin)
Could have ran because of the IE fix though... not sure
iTunes
Just run above and it ran!
Thank You to Opera and Firefox for allowing me Internet (to solve these problems) :-).
- I am guessing that Chrome, iTunes, and IE all use MS's internet hooks that they made for IE (and so when IE didn't work neither did Chrome or iTunes).
-
I wouldn't get AMD right now just because of my recent ATI problems (sense AMD owns ATI).
-
Just wait for end user level quantum crypto... then you can crack it... oh wait never mind ;)
-
Um Vako I don't think you can... hole natrual born citizen thing... Oh wait never mind, just ask Obama how he did it. (for those of you who do not now a joke when you see it let me spell it out T-H-I-S I-S A J-O-K-E)

It wasn't a virus... IT WAS ATI :-)
I went through the process in Task Manager and killed them off and saw which one made it go from slow typing to regular normal typing...
Ok the process was
ati2evxx.exe I have two of them running and they are a part of the display driver (so could have been my display was slow????) anyways from the comments here http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/ati2evxx.exe.html is seems like it is a useless part of it and after killing them I see no ill affects.
Oh I also have a quote :-) that I though of during killing process. It probably isn't true :-)
It's like playing Russian Rullete with Windows, sometimes it works and sometimes it, well, doesn't :-) (Not sure if it has been said before but I made it up while killing process.)
From http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic89438.html
Thanks for the posts! I took a look at that and then also found out some more stuff:http://www.vernalex.com/tools/services/?in...HotKey%20Poller
QUOTE
The ATI HotKey Poller is installed with any current ATI driver set. It is used in intercepting any key combinations that you define to perform specific tasks that involve multiple monitors. Simply put this means that this service listens to your keystrokes and when you press keys that match hotkeys that you define (macros) then it will perform the assigned task to that hotkey. If you disable this service then you will not have this functionality. I suggest most people should disable this service unless they use multiple monitors or odd output devices such as TVs.
Most current video cards support dual monitor display, and a few others support more (like the Matrox Parahelia that supports tri monitor display). This allows you to expand your computer's desktop across multiple monitors to give you more real estate. People that use their computers in more advanced ways, such as graphics design or those that just use a lot of programs at once, find this ability quite useful.
The ATI display driver is equipped to support the functionality of multi display. And this is where the Hotkey Poller comes in. Within the display property (right click desktop, properties) and under settings and then under the advanced button, ten under the Displays tab you have the ability to select which monitors or TVs to output your display signals onto. You can also configure hotkeys that perform tasks such as switching between multiple monitors.
If you wish to disable this service you should set it to disabled and reboot your computer as it will not let you stop the service. If you cannot reboot (or you don't want to) then you can kill the executable ati2evxx.exe. You can freely terminate (kill) these through task manager as they are not protected services. There will most likely be two of these processes running under the same name, but they're both the same thing. One is most likely a driver intercepter and the other a frontend client of sorts. If there are two then you will need to kill both to properly close them.
I am guessing that AV was blocking it (the keystroking) so it had no effect that is why it went away with AV.

Thanks guys and gals for all the help :-)

Update Ran Removal tools for both AVG and Norton. Still a problem... running malware bytes
Ok Ran Malware Bytes found some reg keys and successfully removed them. Still a problem
-
Ok after uninstalling AVG the problem is back again. :-(
-
Ok I uninstalled Norton totally but before doing that my keyboard was fine and I generally ran with Task Manager at 900 mb of RAM (so a lot of virtual memory)
Also it is integrated graphics so that is why there is a funky number
Windows only needs 100 mb of RAM (I have ran it with that and it was FINE)
For all the flashy stuff it needs 170 mb of RAM (ditto, runs fine)
the above is with no apps running
I then run iTunes (uses 80mb of RAM, sometimes itunes get bitchy but that is apple software on the PC (is it the same with MS on the Mac???))
Chrome or Opera runs fine, firefox is bitchy
I have installed AVG Free and am scanning then uninstalling.
Keyboard for now is fixed (my guess is fluke (I ran the battery dead dead and rebooted with it dead (without windows interfering.))).
So keyboard is fine now...
my guess is either a) it needed a hard shutdown to fix itself for some reason (reboot did not work)
or it is a damn smart rootkit/keylogger that only runs with no AV and with av is not detected.
Oh and i go through the process list every so often checking for fishy process, I only have launchy and taskswitch.exe (MS PowerToys) running at startup.

update firefox seems to be immune, all other apps from notepad up are effected.
