these are all great:)
can any of the smileys or emotes in any of the links here be used in yahoo IM? …in the window where you talk to just one other person?😀 Problem has been mostly solved.. after some more cleaning AdAware finally removed all the spiders it had been identifying, it has not relogged her in
however her Leechammer with winMX still gets her yahoo messed up and logs her off, but that is another issue. But anyone happen to have any ideas?

thanks, we did download and run spybot too, and it did find files that AdAware didn’t catch.
Her yahoo and ICQ are still logging her in in the middle of chats, and she still has a bunch of ‘spiders’ on her computer that AdAware identifies but doesn’t give her the option of removing them:confused: they don’t have boxes next to them that she can check to have them removed.
Yesterday her computer froze and wouldn’t load xp:(!! I’m looking for anyway to get the spiders off, or some huge program that will scan and fix all problems… i can’t let her computer die because she is far away and the net is how we talk 99% of the timethanks, we have been clearing the cookies, and will double-check them.
your website gave me an idea… maybe the re-logging is caused by yahoo auto-update? I don’t know if it would look for updates several times a day, or if it would also caused ICQ to re-log (though maybe ICQ has an auto-update also) but seems worth a try to disable it
😀 just quick note… i just got my winmx to work by uninstalling ZApro and using sygate instead, and changing my router settings for TCP and UDP.. thanks to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.buchanan/
we’ve never lost messages, and so far it’s only been logging her in again, never me. Just seeing she “has logged in” and then she can’t see the next few messages i type to her.
she does have a load of spiders on her computer that AdAware found, but it won’t remove them, and Spybot won’t either. She has 327 ‘bad things’ when she ran AdAware the first time, and i’m still trying to find some program that can remove her spiders without too much tech know-how needed by her… i figure that could be causing the glitch, if not just jamming her computer a bit.
I just was recommended to try sygate instead of ZA again to see if it fixes my winmx, so i’ll do that once a yahoo file transfer i have is done… worth another try
Zone Alarm seems like a great firewall, and so far my 98 and xp computers have been okay. I have some problems with winmx (can’t be a primary) and i can’t use Whiteboard with MSN messenger, but i think it may be due to me having a linksys router for my cable.
My girlfriend has ZA off, to see if that will eliminate the problem.
Sygate has a free firewall i heard is pretty good. I installed it to see if my winmx would work fully, but went back to ZA.
thanks, I went thru her ZA settings with her, but i’ll double-check them.
It is interesting that the re-loggings only started minutes after her ZA install, and it also affects her ICQ… though interestingly it doesn’t affect her MSN.. we fixed it.:D
we installed and ran AdAware
http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10045910.html?legacy=cnet
and went through her start-up menu
http://www.greatis.com/regrun3appdatabase.htm
and cleaned things up. Some of the things on her start-up menu weren’t at greatis.com but a google search identified most of them. A few other glitches cleared up after this too.
