Hi there after trying Gaim :rolleyes: and Skype :rolleyes: (our gran wanted a cheap and easy to use PC phone so she could phone her kids and grandkids that live overseas once a week and not get ‘skinned’ by Bell/Telus) we downlaoded the program and explained how it worked (even we found the contract small print was continually being ammended thus making it rather and hard to follow/understand) … 🙂 She allowed her contract with AOL to run out – which is roughly 1 month – before she started trying to use Gaim … but first she was told that ‘service unavailable’ then she was informed that she had been ‘locked out of the system’ because she had the audacity to sign on for an account, download the program and then (shock horror :woot: ) she didn’t use it ….
Well Skype was definelty cheaper than her old terrestrial telephone provider, but the problems with the dodgey sound quality (which never did get fixed), and the thing about unused credit being time sensitive (“Now it is” – “No, now it isn’t” decission hardly inspired confidence) and what seemed like the whole raft of ‘additional’ service fees — simply confused her 🙁 so much so that she wouldn’t use (it ‘just-in-case’ it was $2.5 a minute and not 2.5cents plus outgoing fee etc) … In the end SHE opted for Vbuzzer mainly because it is simple to use/understand and she likes the LOGO :p
When I am visiting her next, I will try the call-out service – but in the mean time she’s happy and it seems to be working fine … This now being six months after we presuaded her to ‘kick AOL to the kerb’ 😮 😀 and I will not even mention her very brief dalliance with a company called ‘TalkTalk’ 😡 :sick:
I still use Skype at work, and I find it quite reliable, but rates are gradually creeping up, and apparently customer service is on the slide 😮 which means I have just downloaded Vbuzzer myself … Watch this space 😎

Enter gpedit.msc in the Open box and click OK it says windows cannot find ‘gpedit.msc’ I can’t do system restore because of this, because when I go on run, and type in ‘msconfig’ and click enter, the damn box disappears! I done a scan with panda, a full scan, and I had loads of infected files! it come up with stuff like:
Virus:W32/Jeefo Renamed -Operating system-
and another one the same but saying disinfected, and other saying No Disinfected!
Virus:Trj/Downloader.GK No disinfected C:Documents and SettingsLauraLocal SettingsTempTHI6642.tmplocalNrd.cab[polall1l.exe] Virus:Trj/Downloader.GK Disinfected C:Documents and SettingsLauraLocal SettingsTempTHI6642.tmppolall1l.exe
There is loads more, but I don’t know much about computers, so if anyone wants to see the text file, if that would help then I would send it to you, but I don’t think you need it! So can anyone help me then! I know it’s definatly Magic PS i’ve been infected by, disabling the task magage and system restore, because my sister exected the file and opened it, from some WHO I know! idiots! could you please e-mail me your help, if not then i’ll have to check here thanks
angel1341uk@hotmail.comAngle1341 – first did you get your hacker problem solved? Second to prevent this happening again did you ‘educate’ sister about why she doesn’t want to do that? As well as Spyblaster and spybot you might find AVG Free antivirus software useful [it caught 4 trojans on my own PC] …
Same problem encountered during 3.1 running version 121 – is theres an elephant in the room [ie is this a perennial problem] … I have reinstalled T3 twice and tweeked it around to no avail.
Anyone else out there encountered this – and if so any work arounds *shuffles away all down in the mouth*
Real neat – but no audio and/or video links? 🙂 What about skins – despite the obvious advantages of Trillian 3 :confused: I would prefer a choice of more than 2 skins 😡 which currently is all you get with the basic version [0.74 was easily the best and most user friendly skinable version yet :woot: ]
So yeah I’d love to try it – when it has a video/audio facility! 😀
