[New] Trouble shooting with saveing pictures off the web.with AOL

Will every one here knows i love adult web sites but awhile back i had a problem.

I couldnt right click save picture as and have the picture turn out

Instead i get a blank picture with a thing saying no preview avaliable grrrrr

Turns out its something AOL did on purpose to save there buts money on bandwith.
By sacrificeing the consumers rights on what he or she does on there owen pc

At 23 some dollars a month or so shouldnt you decide what you can save on your pc?

If your tired of trying to save pictures off the net and nothing happens and the picture dosent turn out

Then do the following so you can save pictures off of AOL properly.

How to Disable Image Compression in AOL:

From the AOL "Settings" menu > select "Preferences" > choose "Internet Properties (WWW)" > select the "Web Graphics" tab > choose "Never compress graphics" option > OK After you've done this, you must empty all your browser caches to ensure no old .ART images remain. You should not need to exit and restart AOL, but you should if you have any problems with saving any images you've already seen. (AOL uses a memory cache that doesn't go away at times without closing the program. System rebooting should not be necessary, either.)

The AOL image compression format was never very good or useful. Yes, it saves AOL a small amount of bandwidth, but, the images are not nearly as clear and the .ART format is proprietary and not the best.

Give this a try. You may actually see an improvement in performance, too. (For years we've been telling people, whenever you reinstall AOL, this is the first thing you should change. Whether or not you use dialup or broadband, it's almost always better to turn off AOL image compression.)

[New] AOL instant messenger faq

If you ever dowenloaded AOL instant messenger and your an AOL subscriber but you got the dowenload verstion of aim so you
could chat live with frinds useing AOL talk.
You might notice something with quality or a failed conection

Or some lame if you and a frind are behind a difrent fire wall blah blah blah message

Its because you sighned up with a difrent name other then the one your useing for your AOL account.

I experimented alot with aim talk turns out AOL provides better service to people with actual AOL acounts for AIM
by sighning up with aim with your AOL usser name and not a custom one you will notice a big difrence.

1.no netscape spam soliting you to sighn up for adtional netscap fetures bs

2.when you connect with some one to talk you will get clearer less static voice

3.if you were config corectly with aim and firewall you will notice you dont get that difrent fire wall message
Inless your frind really does have a difrent fire wall.

I hated it id get that message and my frind im trying to talk to dont even have a fire wall at all

Newbie trouble shooting with zone alarm pro
ZAP does have some bugs but that's expected with any fire wall.

First off make sure that the way you connect to the Internet A.K.A. your Internet provider such as AOL ect ect under programs has green check marks in zone alarm to have access to the Internet except for the act as a server option I usually put red X's as hell no lol.

If your on dial up on 56k you might notice a few things that you probably had no clue of but here goes.

In some cases zone alarm pro works to well this causes problems on dial up.

If you have AOL 7.0 or even 6.0 you might notice you cant connect to the Internet the very first time you try to connect.

But you will always connect on the second time this is probably due to zap learning mode in testing the Icmp Protocol along side with udp and 1 TCP flag basically these problems acure when connecting to the Internet the first time on dial ups zap blocks the icmp as will as the udp-aol and you get an immediate TCP flag.

the following problems will accure

1. will not connect on dial up first time

2. Aim instant messenger AOL's stand alone instant messenger and AOL internal messengers wont load( means buddy list wont load or the AOL instant messenger application stand alone will not connect or if it does the talking on aim feature will give you the if you and a buddy are behind different fire walls typical message box its due to this issue.)

3 . If you post reply's on such forums as wilders your reply wont post correctly you get web page not found or not responding there for your post does not go threw.

4. When clicking on several pages moving threw the web fast you will get pretty much a service of denial effect when none of the web pages load correctly you get page 404 not found or page not responding no matter what site you go to.

Solution?
1. First off call AOL and make sure you have the best dial up number in your local area sometimes that stupid auto numbers in your area isn't the best number for connecting to the Internet when using AOL.

Have the AOL guy or woman guide you in putting locale dial up connection dial up numbers in manually?

Find the one that connects the first time and move that one to the top when dialing the Internet so that number is at the top making it the first number you use when trying to reach the Internet threw AOL.

After you done the albolve and found a good 1 dial up local connection first try number go ahead and disconnect and close AOL start up zone alarm pro.

Then click on fire wall tab in zone alarm and click on Zones Tab

Keep zone alarm pro open or hiding in task bar now dial up AOL when it gets to 4 click on zone alarm you will see new Zone alarm Internet connection with a strand of numbers such as for example 283.204.0.0/366.366.0.0 that says Net work Internet.

Right click on it and go to add then scroll down to IP Range.

Now you will get a box pop up with the following words.

1. Zone tab trusted
2. IP Address . . .
3. IP Address . . .
4. Description

With the IP number you saw 283.204.0.0/366.366.0.0 do the following in the pop up box.

1. Zone tab trusted
2. IP Address 283 . 204 .0 .0
3. IP Address 366 . 366 .0 .0
4. Description Internet

Then click OK.

You will find doing this makes connecting to the Internet more easy and more stable.

You might have to do it a few times to get all the safe IP connections From your Internet provider.

For example some IP range connections might be extremely busy so you might have to connect to the Internet a second time and be redirected on to a less busy Internet connection there for add that new IP range number also to your safe zone.

You will notice that you can post and your buddy list will load and you can connect on the first try depending if you were fast enough to add to zone.

you will also notice aim talk works if it does not right click on aim in the right side bottom task bar on AOL instant messenger right click on it select preferences then aim talk

On the box that says AlterNet Internet address check the box or unchecked it lol you have to play with it sometimes this will get it to work=)

Newbys need more Ram,
Tired OF warning dialog box that says low on system resourcess

We often online get the blue screen of death frozen screens or a warning dialog that says low on system resources

As a newby you wonder why this is happening to you or why your pc take so dang long to start up grrrrrrrrrrrr

its due to microsoft crap and programs like msn messanger and aol's stand alone messenger knowen as aim not to be confused with the one thats built into aol AIM is a stand alone that you dowenload and install manuely for those with out aol.

all these programs take up ram and slow up your computer and hog up your computers speed as well

all because these programs purposely put them selfs in the start up list to start automatcly when you press the start button all usealy with out your permistion id almost consider many of it spyware.

want your pc to start faster less crashes less warnings about system resource or error this program has caused an error if you continue to have problems blah blah blah

well gather around fellow newbys heres how.

Step 1 click on start highlight run and click on it
step 2type in the text box MSCONFIG

[New]porn dialers and newbys, how to surf adult sites safely


With every day life cyber space surfing Newbys Worst enemy out there is Dialers.

Dialers are the scam artist of the Internet promising great adult content or games etc.

I have had some really bad experiences with these nastys as a newby.

Dialers can usually be found at all kinds of adult web sites with the promise of great adult material for a so called small fee to view a web site on a private server with no content or very little.

There are several types of dialers and the way they are made are worst then Trojans now of days.

Dialers are horrible because you end up with phone bills any where from a 100 dollars to absolutely no limit, in some countries there is no limit to what they can charge you.

It is scary what you think is 50 cents a minute can easily be 50 dollars a minute.

That is not the worst part they charge you for time you didn't uses round it up your time to the highest number to make more money.


WHAT IS A PORN DIALER ?

The surfer clicks on a link or gets spammed to download the small dialer software - only 69kb, which allows a quick download for you victim.

After downloading, the victim clicks the software icon usually a xxx something or a picture of a sexy girl on your desktop and the program installs.

If on-line the dialer program disconnects the victim from the Internet and reconnects to scam premium content.

For every minute the victim views the content per minutes are clocking up and hence so are the scam artist earnings of up to $0.55/100.00 a minute or worst.

Remember... criminals don't have to follow any rules it does not mater what the dialer says they can charge what ever they want.

"How is this legal", you ask.

CHECK IT OUT !

Is this form of revenue legal? Of course! Dialers have been around for years and are completely above board and legal. They work along the same sort of lines as premium rate telephone numbers and The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are the governing legal body's that keep an eye on the industry and ensure just that, just as long as the scam artist web master does not use the term free in any of his promotional activities.

These instructions are absolutely important if you are like BLAZE and you like porn and are a big adult content surfer like me then follow this newbys advice

Never ever download one of the pop up boxes that ask you to download something at an adult site.... absolutely never!

Pop up boxes usually look like grey boxes that immediately show up when you go to an adult site promising great porn if you download it you see one of these then say, "Hell no and run away from that adult site like its a plague."


INTERNET SECURITY SETTINGS

These are the settings you must have to do absolute safe adult searching experience.

1. Click on Internet explorer that's that big blue E. ICON lol.

2. Go to tools scroll down to Internet options then click on security tab

Now download the following programs

HTAstop (4/13/01)
It's now possible for a "rogue" website to actually embed Trojans, worms and/or viruses directly into a web page. In the past, pages that offer seemingly attractive downloads which contain such malware required you to click to start any download to your computer. Now it's become automatic, using features in the Windows operating system known as scripting. These scripts can load programs without you knowing, and then they run immediately. All you have to do is visit the site, without doing anything besides viewing the page. HTAstop acts as a brickwall against these scripts, disabling them so the download doesn't occur. HTAstop protects you against one variety of script, our IEClean covers all twenty-seven.

i mainly put this program in my folders icon on my desk top then right clicking on it then draging it from that folder to the task bar then leting go of the button while it is hovering over my task bar at the bottom then whalah short cut on my task bar and no clutter on my desk top i do that with all applications then its just double click on the utlity and enable it.

this program is like an off and on switch double click on it algain and hit enable its just that easy.


newby frindly easy to use dialer removers free programs

step 1 run this program after you fully updated it go online and hit online tab hit searh for updates then check mark the boxs on the bottom then hit update now
then run spybot

SpyBot-Search & Destroy... this thing will remove most porn dialers
read me first
http://spybot.eon.net.au/

[New Updated]download
http://www.wilders.org/HTMLobj-1444/spybotsd11.zip

step 2
Lavasoft Adaaware
after you config adaware and updated it... then run it see all the nastys and delete them by checking them and hiting continue
first read this before downloading
http://www.wilders.org/screenshots27.htm

http://www.wyvernworks.com/Lavasoft/aaw.exe

use this to download updates also allow it permission in your firewall to conect to the internet
http://www.wyvernworks.com/Lavasoft/refupdate.exe
   
step 3 after configuring internet sweeper   hit sweep

very top part

AOL user with versions before AOL 7.0 not recommended you been warn works perfect with AOL 7.0
download here
http://www.wilders.org/HTMLobj-1481/isfw.exe

Final steps if for some reason the 3 above didn't work or your not sure if the nasty dialer is gone do the following

Step 1 go to start go to settings go to control panel click on it go to add and remove look for the dialers name usually a pornographic name or xxx dialer or something similar then, click on it and select remove

Step 2 delete the porn dialer icon that is on your desk top

Step 3 go to start look to see if there a dirty icon with the same name as the dirty icon that was on your desk top sometimes its in the programs folder if you see it delete it

Step 4 go to my folder icon and look in there to see if a new folder has been added or a dirty logo icon is there if so delete it

Step 5 go to start go to settings go to control panel click on network look in the box that says following network components installed if you see something naughty like xxxteens or something that sticks out like sore thumb that is adult related porn ie select it and hit remove

Step 6 double click on My Computer icon then double click on C:\ drive then program files you should see this C:\Program Files

Now look for a dirty sex icon or a folder that says dialer or xxx sluts or something out of place if you see a dirty picture in that folder and usually looks like the icon that was on your desk top delete it

Remember the are several different kinds of dialers some scam artist have been disguising there dialers to look like other stuff with a program called icon editor.

I found dialers that look like the following have a dirty name or I never remember downloading it

Dialers can look like the following:
mp3, windows media movie. flash 6 mx file any media file like realone player, quick time etc. but when you click on it the box opens up with a naked girl saying do you want to get or look at porn click yes or no.

Another thing you might want to do is look at your dial up access numbers for the Internet. See if there is a 1 900 or 1 800 etc number or something odd ball that don't match the other dial numbers you have to call your Internet provider and find out how and if the number is really an access number or a porn dialer number then remove it

then just to be safe I would run the 3 programs
Spybot S&D
Adaware by Lavasoft
Internet sweeper..... then restart my computer

dialers suck !

PS- Again I will stress any adult site wanting you to download something whether it be a plug in or a utility of some sort say "NO and RUN"

If your computer starts to dial out with out your permission unplug your computers phone line until you remove it, otherwise you will be responsible for 100 of dollars worth of long distance.

By the way< any web site run off of Java and active scripting is usually a bad thing
any adult site that won't load with out active scripting and Java enabled is a bad website.. aka page stays blank and it tells you to re enable active scripting and Java

You may have noticed that sometimes the Desktop and Windows Explorer start to display the wrong Icons for some file types. Running RefreshEm when they do repairs the Windows Icon Cache so that the proper ones are immediately displayed.

AIDA32 - Personal System Information

This is a free program that will bring up everything in your system, including brand names, model numbers and even serial numbers to much/all of the hardware. It is literally a total and complete break down of your entire system, including memory usage/availability, some problem detecting, even CPU temperature. It does not run in the back ground, so it won’t deplete recourses. The layout is similar to Windows Explorer with the tree formation of all of the computer categories.

Even though its easy to use I recommend it to intermediate newbies who have some basic understanding of what there looking at.

but even i can easily get the jest of things so its up to you a very good program indeed

Note: Newbies click on the aida32 computer icon in the folder to get it started

I also recommend you putting it in your documents folder and make a short cut to aida32 on either your desktop or on your start button under programs for easy access.

ID-Blaster Plus v2.0
ID-Blaster Plus is compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP.
In Windows, many applications have something called a "product ID number", a "GUID" or a "Unique ID number". This number may be the same through Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player - even the operating system itself.
Since this number nevers changes, it would be the PERFECT way a malicious person or even an advertising company could track your habits. Maybe through a malicious website ActiveX control, or java applet.

ID-Blaster Plus works by changing these ID numbers frequently, destroying tracking tactics using these numbers. ID-Blaster can run from the system tray, using up very little resources, and constantly protect you in the background.

Much like ID-Blaster, MRU-Blaster helps protect your privacy - but there is a big difference.

MRU-Blaster is an all-new program, made to do one large task - detect and clean MRU (most recently used) lists on your computer. These MRU lists contain information such as the names and/or locations of the last files you have accessed. But they are located ALL OVER your registry, and for almost ANY file type. By looking at these MRU lists, someone could determine what files you opened/saved/looked at, what their file names were, and much more! (And, in many cases, the lists are displayed in drop-down menus automatically.)

DiamondCS RegistryProt v2.0
RegistryProt is a 100% free, standalone, compact, low-level realtime registry monitor and protector, that adds another dimension to Windows security and intrusion detection. By monitoring important locations and keys in the Windows system registry, RegistryProt will alert whenever a key is added or changed, and then give the option of accepting the key change, reverting back to the original key setting, or deleting the key.

RegistryProt's most useful attribute is that it will detect the vast majority of Trojans at the exact moment that they infect/install themselves into your system, and as such provides a new dimension in Trojan and intrusion detection.

0Click2 (6/22/00)
0click2 is a small, simple, free program for users of Windows95, 98, NT and 2000 which allows you to "disconnect doubleclick from the Internet" and this in turn prevents their banner ads, their cookies and their tracking of your activities. 0click2 works by causing all referrals to double-click from any site to be blocked at your own computer. 0click2 works only with the standard Microsoft winsock for dialup networking, DSL, ISDN and cable modems and does not work with other winsock programs such as AOL(Compuserve), Trumpet Winsock or Twinsock. 0Click2 adds new functionality to allow you to choose to block other sites as well.

DSOstop2 (new version 3/21/02)
The "DSO Exploit" (Data Source Object) was first reported by GreyMagic Software of Israel on February 27, 2002 and a "workaround" for Microsoft's defective code was provided by Axel Pettinger and Garland Hopkins on March 3, 2002. Their fix requires the user to manually edit the registry. Many computer users are extremely nervous (and justifiably so) about doing this, owing to years of warnings and advisories not to. This FREE utility will safely do it for those who do not feel confident running and editing "Regedit." Read the details for more information and links to the registry modification instructions and test site.

HTAstop (4/13/01)
It's now possible for a "rogue" website to actually embed Trojans, worms and/or viruses directly into a web page. In the past, pages that offer seemingly attractive downloads which contain such malware required you to click to start any download to your computer. Now it's become automatic, using features in the Windows operating system known as scripting. These scripts can load programs without you knowing, and then they run immediately. All you have to do is visit the site, without doing anything besides viewing the page. HTAstop acts as a brickwall against these scripts, disabling them so the download doesn't occur. HTAstop protects you against one variety of script, our IEClean covers all twenty-seven.

SockLock (2/17/99)
If SockLock is used BEFORE you fall victim to Happy99 or other SKA class Trojan attack, it will protect you from infestations by this Trojan horse. You can actually download and enjoy the fireworks display presented by the Happy99 Trojan without any risk of infestation or spreading the Trojan further to other hapless victims as SockLock PREVENTS any SKA class Winsock infesting Trojan from being able to do anything more than display the cute distraction. They CANNOT infest your machine (or anyone elses) if SockLock has been used to lock your winsock against modification. SockLock also creates two 72 byte files which prevent SKA class Trojans from being able to install at all on your machine once you activate the protection using SockLock.

ScripTrap
ScripTrap traps scripts when they attempt to run on your computer and provides the option of blocking them or letting them continue to run. You can also check the intercepted script with your Anti-virus program before you decide to run it or not. This provides you with a chance of catching possibly malicious code before it causes damage. ScripTrap is particularly useful for trapping scripts that arrive in email attachments, such as the recent ILOVEYOU virus.The worst thing about many types of scripts is that they can operate without warning as a legitimate part or extension of another program. Most damaging of all are email attachments that contain scripts. If you open them in an email program that allows scripting they may execute before you even realize what you have done.

SpyBot-Search & Destroy
the perfect double check for Ad-aware. Covers: Aureate,CLPRS, Comet Cursors, eZula HotText, Gator, GoHip, Radiate, WebHancer, WildTangent etc.. Very useful extra features included
SpyBot-S&D searches your harddisk for so-called spy- or adbots; little modules that are responsible for the ads many programs show. But many of these modules also transmit information about your surfing behaviour and more to the net.
If SpyBot-S&D finds such modules, it can remove them - or replace them with empty dummies in case their host won't work any more with its bot removed. In most cases, the host software still runs after removing the bot.
For a list of 'supported' bots see the feature lists below. Spybot-S&D works with an easy interface that allows updates by just replacing a file of about 1k size. Those updates come by my software mailinglist.Another feature of Spybot S&D is the removal of usage tracks, which makes it more complicated for unknown spybots to transmit useful data. The list of last visited websites, opened files, started programs, cookies, all that and more can be cleaned. Supported are the three mahjor browsers Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator and Opera.Last but not least Spybot-S&D contains some routines to find and correct invalid entries into the registry.
