Well, I've been doing fine until my family starts going on the family computer (even though they all have their own laptops except for me, which they all screwed up, no wonder).
This virus just won't die, and no matter what I do something always comes up (a few names I recognize, but 321902934484810921 doesn't really mean anything to you guys).
So, what kind of programs do you recommend? I tried some new malware software, and that took care of the business for a short while until the computer began to die slowly, again. I also used the search and destroy anti-spyware software, which solved the problem for awhile. Then once I ran the scan again, I found more spyware than before... :rolleyes:
The worst of my fears is that my internet service (SBC DSL) is being targeted by a rumored terrorist group that destroys computers under a certain service with an unstoppable virus or worm, or so I heard.
Anyways, if you can help me at all, please feel free to post. If you just want to rant at my pointless thread, please go to WoW.

>>The first 5 programs on the above list are the major players and one of them should be able to fix your problem.
I had a small question.
These virus scanner do scan your system is true, but does them help to destroy the virus or worms?

Well i have a co-op at a computer repair store, and we suggest avg free edition to use. Also if you have more than 1 scanner, 1 spyware detetor it can mean bad things. Imagine this
You scan with Norton and find the virus, it then puts it the vault. Then you run avg when norton is still installed. It will find the virus in the vault and say you have a virus. It will keep making copies over and over and you will loose a lot of hard drive space. The best anti spyware program would be spy sweeper or spy doctor when you have paid for it. I wouldnt suggest norton just because it screws around with some windows files and doesnt really find many problems. We searched a computer with spy doctor and found 4000 threats, while norton found only like 100.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
