Kim Komando Tip of the Day -- August 17, 2002 Four programs you probably don't want to install
The Internet has countless shareware programs, many of which are great additions to your computer. Some, however, are likely to give you more trouble than they're worth.
Kim's advice is to skip the following downloads:
Gator
Comet Cursor
Bonzi Buddy
Go Hip
If you've already downloaded and installed one or more of these programs, you've probably discovered that getting them off your system is a much more challenging task than getting them on.
Here's where to go for step-by-step instructions on removing Gator:
Gator A note from The Wise-Old-Blogger These recommended Downloads will help you find and remove "malware" (Malicious Software) programs and they are FREE for personal use: Windows Antispyware
SypwareBlaster
RegSupreme Pro (30-day Free Trial is fully functional) See Etc... for more Free downloads

E-mail Headers To find the name of the ISP of a Spam sender in Outlook Express, first "select" or highlight the questionable e-mail, click File in the Outlook Express menu bar > then Properties > Details > Message Source. Now you're ready to find the real sender...(if you like Detective Novels, this will be fun!) Spammer's often mask their actual email address, so I suggest this web page for a clear explanation of How-To find the Spammers IP Address: http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/19.html Other e-mail clients, such as MS Outlook, Netscape, Eudora, Incredi-Mail, Mozilla and others have a similar path to reveal e-mail Headers which are necessary when reporting Spammers. Send an e-mail to the Spammers ISP with a copy of the full header to: abuse@ISP name, postmaster@ISP name or support@ISP name. Also, report the Spammers ISP to an online list as described below in "Getting rid of Spam". Most ISP's have clearly documented rules warning their users not to send Spam. When discovered, Spammer e-mail accounts are off-line until they contact their ISP. Definitions and Links: IP address
