So, something strange is going on with my IE6. It crashes everytime I use google, with results opening in a new window and also with any pop-up I open. This started after some porn site added a bunch of icons on my desktop. I also had 3 exe-files on my C:. They were called gfnyyfbl.exe or something random like that. Occasionally they'd try to get contact, but my firewall blocked them. I deleted a whole bunch of stuff and now IE6 is acting strange. I really love IE. I know the buttons and crap by heart, so it's been hell using Mozilla 1.5 for the past few days. God fucking damn it annoys me. 1. The download progress bar. Either you turn it on and it's on for everything. Including small images!! This is the reason I stopped using good ol' Netscape in the first place. The progress bar would come up and wait forever to get the fucking image to my drive. FUCK! 2. Cache. I can't fucking believe how retarded Mozilla is with cache usage. With IE6, if I need to download the same file twice, it just sucks it up from the cache. You know how IE then copies it to disk when the download is complete. Mozilla? Hell no. What do you think this is? A serious browser? Download again. 3. The download speeds occasionally drop to modem speeds. Heh, especially when getting updates from Microsoft. My download speed record is on a Swedish MS server @ 670kB/sec. This Mozilla bitch could barely get the IE service pack. 4. There are so many small things. Like this blinking stick thing when I type here. It does a great job of covering up the last letter I type, not to mention it goes invisible if I press space. Hello? Can I install just IE6 from my windows CD? Maybe it gets repaired. Yeah right. |

try running adaware or sort out your start up config that's my answer for everything btw |
||||||||

I've been running Adaware. It's not that. |

I hate IE. Use Netscape or Opera or something if you don't like Mozilla. Does IE even support tab-browsing yet? |
||||||||
|

You could try Firebird, based on Mozilla - a very good browser. I've ditched IE cos I'm sick of popups and Firebird lets you control these. http://texturizer.net/firebird/index.html |

|

Yea, IE isn't really worth bothering to fix. Try Opera. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Pop-ups have never been a problem. Free pop up stopper works great. Well, not with Mozilla of course. It blocks any progress bars Mozilla tries to bring up. Not so with IE6. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
IE is worth fixing. Just for the cache reason alone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can't really deinstall IE, can you? in XP, I mean..? I believe you can only uncheck the IE box or something. can't you download IE 6 from some Microsoft site though? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All browsers have a cache just the same as IE, the settings must be wrong somewhere. |

sounds as your mozilla is somewhat ill configured. i've been using mozilla for two years now, i'm more than pleased. uninstalling IE is not a good idea though.. it's on any windows installation disk i think. be sure to get the updates asap as it's the piece of software which is under the heaviest hacking attacks. i do not use it for that reason |
||||||||

All the things you're complaining about sound like there's something wrong with your computer, not with Mozilla.... ...with the exception of downloading. Yes, IE downloads to the cache then copies the file wherever you wanted to save it. This is a bug not a feature for two reasons - one, I want the goddamn file to go where I said, not to make an extra copy on the C: drive, and two, this leads to problems with lots of sites where you can't download an updated version of some file - hence, tech support is always telling people to clear their IE cache. If you keep downloading the same file and deleting it, you need to get an encrypted partition to hide your pr0n instead cos what you're doing doesn't make sense. |

IE6 is the equivelant of listening to medium wave. its completely your own doing. he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword. you make your bed, you lie in it. err, etc. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

and you thought you had seen them all. so THAT'S what you've been doing the past few weeks!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I don't keep downloading the same file over and over again. Two movie files disappeared after downloading, because Mozilla reported I can't "change the folder" or something. I was like WHAT? What the hell is this? It never happens with IE6. Had this happened with IE, I would have already had the file on disk. You click the same download place and it just copies it over. |

not just the past few weeks |

I ditched IE a while ago in favour of opera. Gave firebird a roadtest and I'm liking. It's a lot quicker. IE licks balls. |

mozilla is a dream compared to IE. listen to ellen. |

The icons were Swedish. There was a html file on my drive called I.html. It said if I click the icons, I'd have to pay a 399:- SEK membership fee. It was so tempting, but then I decided to delete them all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh to have a browser that actually means delete when it says it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what moziall are you using? mine (1.5) supports resuming and has not failed to download once. i think you're blaming the wrong thing here, that just does not sound like problems that mozilla uses to make, those are different |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds a bit like there could be a trojan horse or two there.. |
||||||||
|

i can hear fleetmouse shouting ad-aware and spybot extrememly loudly from here. |

|
|
can you hear me shout spellingchecker? |
||||||||
|
|

I don't have trojans. I'm no leet haxxor, but I'm not a fucking cluebie either. Most trojans get caught in Adaware, not to mention Norton firewall. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, you'd think that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

me too |
||||||||
|
|

Opera doe the job for me, cracked of course. I love opening windows in the background by the bushel. |

Trojans run as processes in the taskmanager, right? Then I definately don't have any. I know my processes :) |

Hold on. My IE crashed cause I tried to open that link in a new window. I forgot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you had mozilla you could've opened it in a new tab :) |
||||||||
|
|

tell me if it picks anything up |
||||||||

Bfast tracking cookie. I always find a load of cookies with Adaware too. Two registry settings for Windows media player. I'm not sure I should've removed them. I suppose I will notice incase something is wrong. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, Opera rocks! |
||||||||

that'd make for an interesting thread.. *wank* meh :) |

yeah. you've definately got something going on with your computer. either a virus, a trojan, or you've deleted some sort of critical file or something. i don't fully understand the problem you're describing with mozilla & it's caching. but, it definately sounds like something else is going on. methinks you'd have a problem with any browser you choose right now because the problem is fundamentally with your operating system. that being said, mozilla/firebird are two teriffic browsers. they made the int0rweb fun again. IE feels like i'm surfing the web on a 66Mhz machine with oversized gloves on. get some AV software, if that doesn't work, back up critical data files & reinstall. make sure you run the AV stuff again 1st thing after the reinstall too. |

do this: 1 - restart your machine 2 - keep pressing F8 until you get the option screen 3 - choose command prompt only to get into true DOS mode then type this to get rid of all temprary crap c:\windows\smartdrv (loads smartdrive to speed things up) cd\ deltree/y temp cd windows deltree/y cookies deltree/y temp deltree/y history deltree/y tempor~1 (this one may take a while) then just restart and your machine should be clean of all temporary files |

if you're using winME you need to crate a boot disk to get into DOS. plus winME is the worst O/S ever so consider doing a complete clean install. |

there is no dos in xp |
||||||||
