Posting from winter quarters... Not been here for a while.



Hope you folks can help me with a computer problem. I use google for web searches on internet explorer. When I type in a search, a list of suggested sites comes up as it should. But if i click on one, the computer redirects me to a site of its choosing, making google useless.



Julie just figured out Bing works, but i'd like to clean this virus out. HOW???



P.S. below zero with 15" fresh snow back home. 78 and sunny here. I've been calling my friends and asking for more suntan lotion.

Restore your computer to an earlier date then use microsoft security essentials to clean your computer. Worked for me.

Best Regards Tom.

I would suggest that you try DuckDuckGo.com as a search engine.

*No* tracking. *No* ads. *No* sending you to the nearest thing that sort of matches (e.g. a local dealer), when what you want is the manufacturer to download a manual from, or to order replacement parts from.

DuckDuckGo will ask you (the first time) if you want to make it your default search engine. I have done so.

Sort of half way between, here. :-)

I've started using

formatting link
. It uses google's search engine but doesn't track IP's . Also , consider switching to Firefox as a browser . When everybody quits supporting IE7 , that's where I'm going . 0. As far as weather goes , I rode from Mountain View Ar. to Memphis Tn. today on Mr. Bike , the temp never got above 35° ... but I did wait until it quit snowing .

That looks like a pretty good engine!

Thanks!

The methodology of the left has always been:

  1. Lie
  2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
  3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
  4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
  5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
  6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
