heirloom - 07 Nov 2004 15:39 GMT There it is again, rrrrrrrrrr. I clicked on "Look What is it?", 11/7/04, 12:13AM (my machine) and another (^^%_) download. Not sure if I caught that one in time, either!
Once again, I did not have time to see what was being dl'd before I hit the cancel button......just hope it didn't finish. Off to run Spybot and AV. H
Heather - 07 Nov 2004 20:04 GMT Where on earth are you seeing these?? They are not showing up on my computer. Using the German news reader and they must be filtering them out.

Using the MS news groups, not the Deutsch one for these MS ng's.......grin. I will try it with my ISP's news groups and see if they have let them thru.
Yes, it is on the Rogers news groups...but I am not clicking on it. Tried to get the headers, but with the preview pane off, I couldn't.

Here's what I got looking at the page source. Don't know if it helps. I haven't let the post open in my mail client (Mozilla) as yet. Maybe I'll take a peak.

Back again, I opened the post with no problem and no evidence of an attempt to download anything. I'll run AVG just to check but, all I see is another spam job.

heirloom - 07 Nov 2004 23:06 GMT Yeah, I looked at the Properties, but, have yet to see what is trying to dl'd when I first opened the post. Probably nothing to worry about......I ran the Spybot, AV, BHO, etc. routine and nothing showed up. H

It didn't try to download anything on my computer, Loon. Odd that it did on yours.....maybe you should spring for a new one, lol!!

I want to know what's happened to your tag lines, I miss them, not the same with just H. As they say "Come back Heirloom all is forgiven" <g> Joan

And re: the tag lines, there just seemed to be too much duplication.....besides, I've have been stalking this NG long enough that everyone knows me.....I offer up a few answers and take advantage of the resident gurus quite often. The Me NG's are the best, I think, just because of the wonderful folks that frequent them. H

I miss your taglines......and you are the copyrighted owner of "old and....."
Please start putting them in again......we all miss them. Or I shall be forced to come down there and smack you upside your head!!
Figgs.....not quite as old, but feisty!!

If your system haven't this encode, IE will download and install it. There it is again, rrrrrrrrrr. I clicked on "Look What is it?", 11/7/04, 12:13AM (my machine) and another (^^%_) download. Not sure if I caught that one in time, either!

H: You should be able to stop this from happening by going into IE's Tools
| Internet Options | Advanced and unchecking the box "Enable Install on Demand (IE)."

heirloom - 08 Nov 2004 16:16 GMT Thank you, Gentlemen.....that explains everything and I did, indeed, have that feature checked in the Advanced settings (but no longer). I knew I could count on the resident gurus to put me back on the right path!! H

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > | Internet Options | Advanced and unchecking the box "Enable Install on > Demand (IE)." Heather - 08 Nov 2004 19:44 GMT Thanks, Mike. I had that one checked too. But the "Install on Demand - Other" was unchecked. What is the difference? And I also recall the Chinese encode or some such, trying to download in the news groups and I changed something in OE, I believe......but it was a long time ago.
Cheers.....Heather

Mike M - 08 Nov 2004 19:56 GMT Heather you might be thinking of (in Outlook Express): Tools | Options | Read | International Settings where there is a box you can check to (try and) use your default coding when reading messages.
To be honest I haven't seen any messages prompting me to change fonts or download language packs for IE for a long long time whereas some years ago I used frequently to see such messages. I suspect that that was back in the days of IE5 and 98SE.

I think (memory is bad in my old age, grin) that when I downloaded IE/OE 6, I got that and asked Jim or Steve on the MS OE group. But it could have been way back in the Win95 days too.
I haven't checked off that box in OE re International Settings. I had checked that before I posted the last time and wondered if it should be checked.
Gathering up some naive newbie questions to ask you guys.......all *basics that I never learned*....grin. Bet you can hardly wait, lol. But I have no one else to ask. Mostly folders in Windows Explorer that I am not sure whether they are needed.
