Check Out This Other Steel Guitar Website

b0b,
You are correct, the Christian Steel Forum does pay to have an ad free board. I've not heard of any problems for anyone posting/reading there.

For those of you not familiar with the Christian Steel Guitar Message Board, it is NOT now and NEVER has been an attempt to compete with this fine forum of b0b's. I put that site up so folks who had a desire to talk about Religious topics as well as steel guitar, would have a place, since there really isn't a spot here for Religious topics. After seeing some of the recent heated posts there about Christianity/Politics, I can see why b0b would choose not to host those types!

I'm still dealing with these popups. I say let's string the guy up who led us to this. Any new ideas on how to get rid of Mr. Reed's mess? My computer will not let me run the antivirus.com scan, and both Adaware and Spybot don't seem to do the trick.[This message was edited by Duncan Hodge on 18 September 2004 at 08:52 AM.]

Duncan and others,

I use 6 free programs that compliment each other and I haven't had any infections, virus, malware or anything else for a couple years. A couple have been mentioned above.

1: Adaware - Adware and popup scanner
I scan weekly

2: Spybot Search and Destroy - Spyware and malware scanner
I scan weekly

3: SpywareBlaster - malware blocker
Runs in the background - My Favorite app

4: HiJackThis - Browser hijack scanner
I scan weekly

5: CWShredder - Browser toolbar scanner
I scan weekly

and last but ablolutely not least...

6: Firefox - Best and safest web browser I've found

Haven't used IE for 3 years now - IT'S GREAT!

Updates are all free and they do a great job of keeping your comp clean and healthy. Besides defragmenting every week or two, there's no other maintenance I've needed.

Just so you know, I work at my computer 8 to 12 hours a day, and use the web extensively.

P.S. I also use Norton Antivirus, but it's not free at all.

------------------
Every day is a Great day,
Mike
