chatroom question

Yep, take your computer to an IT hospital and have it examine and treat by some real expert sounds like an excellent idea. I hope your computer will get well soon. I wish you luck!

Is it only the chatroom problem with your pc? If so I wouldn't bother and save your pennies.

I think its your Windows 2000 or Security settings.

:huh: yes karl, it is only this chatroom that i am having problems with...

but the experience has been worth going through, coz im learning loads, and chatting here has been nice :silly:

now i have two browsers,.....something called ?panda? wotz this?it came with opera....but no security.......so next is putting on that..

xx suzan xx

When I downloaded the Opera browser, I don't remember of seeing anything about \"Panda\". I think you may have either downloaded an anti-spyware called Panda ( www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/activescan/ ), or possibly downloaded Firefox, and another name for Firefox is \"Red Panda\". www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/firefox-name-faq.html
Oh by the way, I don't think the anti-spyware Panda is that great. You are better off using AVG or some other anti-spyware, but that is just my opinion. Please see: www.techsupportforum.com/security-center...ng-browser-help.html

doent know where panda came from. !!!! i certainly didnt mean to download it...it appeared with opera.............am researching wwot to put on for security.....THanx for yr links.


i dont really like pandas, prefer kaolas myself !

Sounds to me like you somehow downloaded the antivirus program called \"Panda\" ( www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/activescan/ )
For security, I personally prefer AVG antivirus and AVG antispyware. ( free.grisoft.com/ ) they are both free and are very effective. I also use the Norton Spyware that comes with Yahoo toolbar ( toolbar.yahoo.com/ ), and \"Windows Defender\" that I downloaded from Microsoft. ( www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx ). Additionally, I also have AVAST! ( www.avast.com/ ) for my antivirus arsenal. Be sure to run these programs one at a time, or else you might risk crashing your computer.
I have not heard much pros or cons about Panda so I can't really comment on it.

Panda vs. Koala:

Panda...
The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 2,000 pandas live in the wild[2][3] and over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China[3] (another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221[4]), with twenty pandas living outside of China.[citation needed] Reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_panda

The Koala inhabits four Australian states. Under state legislation, the species is listed as:

Queensland - Common, or \"Least Concern Wildlife\" throughout the state, except in the relatively small South East Queensland Bioregion, where it is listed as Vulnerable.[11]
New South Wales - listed at a state scale as vulnerable, but varying regionally from \"secure\" to \"locally extinct\".[12]
South Australia - classified as Rare.[13]
Victoria - The koala population in Victoria is considered \"large and thriving\".[14]
A review of the species national conservation status concluded that the koala are not threatened at a national scale, with a population that numbers in the hundreds of thousands.[15] This was the third review undertaken by the federal government that came to this conclusion. The IUCN lists the species as \"Lower Risk / Near Threatened\".[2]

Though I am applying for immigration here in Australia, and though I strongly disagree with the Chinese for not respecting human rights, I still prefer Pandas much better, simply because Pandas are considered to be an endangered species, but not Koala bears.

Suzan is still having probs? Hmmmmmm.........an IT specialist might be best for her.

Gary is no angel...a porn addiction :ohmy: otherwise I'm ok. Ok...lol...shoot me for liking flashers. :woohoo:

I agree with Scott on this one. I think its probably best to seek the advice of an expert, not an amateur like myself.
I still don't know who \"Gary\" is though. Frankly, I really don't wanna hear anything about \"porn\" or \"porn addiction\". Thank you very much.

I'm sorry to those I may have offended w/ my last post. TMI!
