All-
Ever since I went to XP around the first of the year I've had problems. You think you're talking to a lister 1on1 and you wind up on the site (And vice versa). You click on a link and the computer crashes. Etc., etc.
Turned on my computer tonight and went to delete the obvious junk mail. Crash. Lost everyone's posts for 2 days.
Called my ISP and talked to someone who (Hopefully)knew what they're doing.
He said to burn out Outlook Express and reinstall. To make a long story shorter, the only way of getting rid of OE/XP is to use the install disc. I burned out the old version (Backup your .wab files first) and reinstalled.
So far, at least I'm back on the site.
Hope this is the end of it, and hope this helps anyone experiencing similar problems.

Well, you should stop clicking on all those porn sites, Bill... Ha ha.
Seriously, invest in a good spyware program like Web Root's Spysweeper or Ad-Aware. Most of your problems are caused by things that get downloaded to your computer from either email or web links. I've been running XP on over a dozen computers, a number of which I routinely use for email and web browsing, and have found XP to be by far the most stable version of Windows ever. Make sure that you have XP Service Pack 2 installed too and that you keep your Windows Updates up to date. Weekly is not too often. Also, keep a good virus program like Norton Antivirus installed and up to date. You can never be too up to date. And never run without them installed "just for a little while". There are so many ways to be attacked these days, that even an hour without protection will probably yield you infected with something. Windows Service Pack 2 has a really good built in firewall now, and you should run this all the time without question.

Another way to provide some extra safety is to use Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com ) as your web browser. By design Firefox does not allow "ActiveX controls" to run, and suppresses pop-up ads. Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 will also try to protect you against "phishing" sites.
For antivirus AntiVir ( http://www.free-av.com ) is a good choice and free ( as in beer ). I also suggest Ad-Aware ( http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ ) to get rid of malevolent programs.
And if you are still having problems, you can always turn to Microsoft OneCare ( http://www.windowsonecare.com/ ) for these tools.

I’m an “IT guy” with 23 years in the field. I started
before the Internet and email, during my career I
witnessed the evolution of all this. Here are my
golden rules:
- Avoid using your ISP as email provider. Use your ISP
only to access the internet and as email provider,
use a separate free email provider like Yahoo, Google
or Hotmail. So if you change your ISP provider, you
don’t lose your email account.
- Unless you are in a corporate environment, avoid use
Outlook as an email client application. Use a web
based one, it is more convenient and safer. If you are
using your ISP’s email, use their web based interface
if they have one (if your provider is alltel.net, it
seems they have one, check this link
http://mail.alltel.net/ ) The advantages are various,
you can access your email from anyone’s computer, you
will avoid all the security flaws that affect outlook,
your messages will be immune for whatever happen to
your computer because they will be stored on the net.
Antivirus protections from web based email providers
are always up to date.
- When downloading applications, download from
reputable sites like CNet, Webattack and others.
- Avoid IE to browse the web, use Mozilla Firefox
instead and use IE only in those few cases where a
page is designed for IE and won’t open correctly in
Mozilla. Mozilla is safer, more convenient and have
better privacy protection, it clean your tracks better
; )
- If you have DSL, a firewall is a must.
- Run one or more spyware programs regularly.
You might be surprise that I don’t have a virus
protection program running in any of my computers at
home and I got viruses only twice in over 10 years.
The first time the infection came from a diskette, the
second time it came from software downloaded from
Kazaa. I use Yahoo as email provider and I use their
web interface. I’m not against virus protection
programs but I feel that I don’t need them that much
since most commons infections comes from security
flaws in Outlook and I don’t use it.
Be aware that these are only my opinion and not
necessary a consensus among other IT professionals, if
there such a thing.

Or just get your own domain (like "craigandjean.com"). Then your e-mail
address (and web address) becomes portable and more memorable. Then have any
ISP host your domain.

I certainly concur with William on his suggestions as my computer
experience goes back 1976.
The safest system use is a Mac of course (my choice) but some are
scared of that persuasion so your best alternative is to NOT use any
of the supplied Microsoft web access applications (Internet Exploder,
Outlook/Outlook Express). Switch to Firefox and if you must use POP3/
IMAP then switch to the companion Thunderbird. Both are drop-in
replacements for the former and work very well and are *much* safer.
My customers report a 99% drop in infections and spyware by making
this choice. Also, stay away from Norton AV as it slows down a
computer 25-30%. Use AVG free and a good AntiSpyware program like
Spyware Doctor.
Oh, and if you think Vista will make things better you have another
thing coming. The security "improvements" in it are so obtuse as to
make it almost unbearable. Dialog boxes galore... I predict like I
did for XP that the only way Microsoft is going to sell Vista in on
new computers.

If anyone would like an invite to GMail ( it's free! ) I have 99 invites to dole out. For those of you who may not have heard of GMail before, it is a web-based email system produced by Google and is similar to Hotmail or Yahoo. GMail gives every user more than 2.5GBs of storage space. It has very good spam filtering and protects you against spoofed email addresses.
You can learn more about Gmail at http://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en/about.html
Just "little r" to me and I can send you an invite.

Matt-
1. The only site I regularly visit is the Zenith list. You're really
slacking as an administrator, because I still haven't seen any pictures of
naked babes using a prop for a stripper pole!
2. I have NAV and Windows Firewall up and running.
3. Knock on wood, I've been 3 days without a problem after following the
advice of my ISP. Hopefully, the problem is now a non-issue.

I agree with a lot of your suggestions (Especially Outlook, which is a
PITA), but this is shaping up to be a corrupted OE installation problem.
I also totally agree that XP is the first Microsoft product since Excel
3.1 I've been impressed with, although it is tough to find files in new
locations.
Thanks for your input.

I'd already purchased and installed NAV '05 on the advice of a friend
before finding out about AVG (Which was also recommended by my ISP).
Compared to earlier versions, the version I have at home is no problem at
all. Not true with the server version at work, which is a nightmare.
Thanks for your input.

Actually having your own domain does not imply webmail. I get my personal
e-mail via POP3. My mail passes through my ISP's mail servers but nothing
else.

Just had another crash immediately after reinstalling software for a 56K
modem that had a version of CallWave buillt in still installed on my
computer. (US Robotics).
Microsoft XP diagnosis kept saying there was a conflict, maybe this is
it. No big deal to open up the case and pull the old modem.

Bill,
I build my own computers and use Microsoft XP. The fire wall included with XP is okay. I use McAffe Virus Scan (really good) and AdAware. I also use a broadban router simply for the purpose of having a hardware firewall on all the computers in my house. I have the anti virus program checking every thing. This has saved me numerous times in the past while surfing the net. By useing the software firewall and a hardware firewall, it is extremely hard for a hacker to get to my system. Hardware compatability issues however are a whole different ball game. Good luck.
Jerome
