3 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoAdobe Flashplayer....when you do not have it set to "automatic updates"?
And then another version comes out, is it best to uninstall the older version you have.
At the moment on one of my laptops, i have it set to "notify me every 7 days" if there are any updates, and this has been fine ever since.
But installing newer versions over old ones, is this a good idea.
It may work in some instances, but is it good practice to uninstall any older versions first, if you don't have it set to automatic updates.
Thankyou for your replys

They will try to, but then the internet connection drops.

1 AnswerSecurity1 decade agoA friend of mine is changing ISPs today, how can she tell if the change has happened?
She is moving to post office broadband today.
But is currently on BT broadband.
So how will she know when the change has happened.
(ie. can you be on two ISPs for a certain time till one of them shuts down.
She has just turned the computer on now, but is still using BT broadband.
So rather than just waiting for the post office home broadband to be activated....is there a way to tell if your actually using it...
Windows xp
Windows vista.
And is there any tips on removing the old BT software.
No need to worry about the connection manager, its using the windows wireless Zero configuration
to connect to the router

2 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoIf "HiJackThis.exe" finds a executable file in one of the startup directories, why will HJT delete this file?
I was just wondering why HJT deletes certain files.
I was following a tutorial on HJT, where it says any executable file that resides in the startup directories will be deleted by HJT when you come to fix those lines.
Any information on how HJT does delete them, when you fix those lines, if they reside in the startup directories.
Any links or information on this would be great....
2 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoWhen you complile messages in "notepad" including BBcode, are you suppose to have "word wrap" unchecked.?
I have started to complile replies to web-site forums in notepad, then "paste" them into the web-site forums text editor, this also include's some "BBcode" like bold, list, etc.
They usually come out ok, but should i do this with "WORD WRAP" off or on.
And also should i complile the message with "word wrap" off or on.
Its just that i get confused sometimes, when they don't come out as they should, and i can't remember if word wrap should be on or off when compliling the message and also when you copy it and paste it into the web-site's forum text editor.

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoOK, starting from No full computer backups at all , so i create the first full computer back-up?
And then as and when start to do incremental or differential backups.
What i would like to know is how long do you keep the first full computer back-up , before creating another full computer backup.
EI.) i have just done a full computer backup (with acronis disk image software) so i would be doing 1 incremental backup after say, two days.and then every other two days.
Do you normally carry this on for one month , then start another full computer backup with incremental backups.
Or do you delete the old full and incremental backups from your computer........
