After my ill-fated attempt to use latest version of Yahoo Instant Messenger (The Malware), I manually removed all traces of Yahoo Instant Messenger from my system. One thing however persisted - their search engine plugin for Firefox. Yahoo search is so poor that whenever I forgot to change the search engine to Google and inadvertantly [...]

Advertising from Google and its network partners sites displaying its ads accounted for most of the company's earnings. Google posted revenues of $1.578 billion for the quarter ending September 30, 2005, up 96% from the third quarter of 2004. Shouldn't its partner sites get some share of it too? Interestingly revenue from Google-owned sites grew at a [...]

Does anyone have any experience removing this from a Windows 2000 system w/o rebooting into Safe Mode? We are running SAV corporate 8.x on most of the systems in our network, and it is not able to remove MSAOL32dll.exe from the system. I am also unable to kill the process from the task manager.

I've been to SARC.com and done google searches for it, and haven't found any way to remove it other than rebooting the system into safe mode. Unfortunately, I have two servers that take miracles to reboot (they control our entire floor) that have been infected.

x-posted to it_admin

EDIT: got it covered. pokemone recommended "process explorer" from sysinternals. It allowed me to kill the process and SAV took over from there.

Having some issues with firefox, in that I cannot open a new window/instance of firefox. I know that this is due to an extension problem, as starting in safe mode solves the problem - although I'd obviously like to use my extensions. As such, I'd definitely like to figure out which extension(s) is/are causing the problem. The thing is, I have quite a few extensions, which are: All-in-one Gestures, Tabbrowser Preferences, PDF Download, Gmail Notifier, IE view, Countdown Clock extension, SwiftTabs, Download Statusbar, Greasemonkey, Firesomething, Autohide, DictionarySearch, GooglePreview, Copy Plain Text, Zoomy, Bookmark Backup, Fusion, HashColoured Tabs, Read Easily, Forecast Fox, StumbleUpon, Adblock, Adblock Filterset.G Updater and Customize Google. I've uninstalled-reinstalled, rebooted, swore a lot, etc and still do not know what is causing the issue.

Also, when closing Firefox, it does not actually end the process. I close Firefox, and look in the process list - it is still listed, and taking more memory than it normally would. Also, due to the fact that I am unable to open a new window/instance, I of course cannot open Firefox again until I end-task the frozen instance in the process tree.

Any ideas?

I've been fiddling with regular expressions and, well, I'm not that great at getting things the right way around so I figured one of you guys/gals would be able to lend a hand. I need a regular expression to check against user-submitted comments, so it needs to allow letters, numbers and punctuation.

I did a google search for examples but all I can find is "email validation" ones.. apparently users only ever submit e-mail addresses through forms ;)

If you could direct me to a decent resource (not php.net), that'd help too. All help appreciated!

Don't worry, it's for an internal thing.

How do you make an HTML email?
I mean more than just setting your email program to "Send email as HTML" - but I need to send this stupid email newsletter with links, graphics and a background image (on the table, since I've read that email programs often/usually strip the and tags), and google is inundated with stupid guides to stupid products, and not the actual task.
Don't worry, it's for an internal newsletter, not...really...spam.

I'm using MS Outlook.

just to say it some more:
stupid stupid and stupid...

But thank you.

Can anyone recommend a good place to find graphics for use in an HTML editor? I need graphics to act as buttons (for formatting text). I don't really care about the style (like icons, or like the buttons in a word processor... doesn't matter) though if there are corresponding graphics to use to make rollover buttons would be even better. I'm stuck finding what I need on google. I'd be most grateful for linkage. Thanks :)

I'm feeling stupid like this is something ridiculously easy I should know, but I don't, and Google wasn't very helpful either. So here's my problem:


I need to know exactly which Flash Player version I have installed for both IE and Firefox. The list of installed plugins in Firefox (settings->downloads->plugins) didn't help much, because there's no information as to the actual *version* of the Flash Player.

Also - am I imagining this, or is it absurdly difficult to find the Flash Player 7 (I need this version to test something) for Firefox to download? All the links I found so far are either dead or ultimately lead to the Macromedia site, which tells me they can't find the Player I'm looking for... *argh*

Any help is appreciated :-)


EDIT:
Problem solved. I finally found the Player I need at Macromedia's archive for older Flash Players :-)
why can't they put this link directly on the "download center" page, instead of offering a download that says "version 7" and is actually version 8? *grrr*
