Thanks Joe
I got the W7 power users book!

Firefox plus AppArmor set to Enforce

What is AppArmor ? I did a addon search and came up nil.

I don’t know if this applies to you but at some point, maybe still, MSBaseline Security Analyzer required MSXML SDK and Parser. On my system I have Ver 4.XXxxX. I am guessing that would have included MSXML Ver4. A newer version may indeed work.

Am I fooling myself or is this a good way of getting rid of files, pictures or things I no longer want or need.

Not at all, but if its something you don’t want anyone else to see under any circumstance, yes you are. Temp files, page files and empty space (among others I may have missed) need to accounted for. I will let others better qualified explain the best methods to deeal w/ those.

It probably does not need saying but I would use a non infected computer to d/l and hold the restored files until such time as you are certain all traces of crypto are purged.

Glad to hear all is well. 2Mb is just big enough to be annoying if one thinks about it, but negligible for modern HDD.

I am probably not the only one that finds it irritating that Sue does not actually list all the KBs in her Patch Watch, seems like it would be a simple thing to do. But Since I am still running XP I have nothing to worry about now:rolleyes:

Have you tried “shutdown.exe /s /f /t 00” to shut down or turning off “FastStartup” ??

I like that freshly booted Windows smell in the morning:D

I also diconnect the AC power to the computer and router at night (except for scan nights) w/ a remote surgeprotector. One less time space for a lightening strike to take out my equipment and Windows always likes to be rebooted.

I have been following this thread and just wanted to be double sure. This is an actual shutdown you are doing and not one of these newfangled W8 sleepy mode things.

I am now one of the priveledged few that Microsoft has offered to assist.

I got my gf to bring her digital recorder over if there is a next time 😡

Just a thought (ouch) but could that empty space be for alignment purposes or is that for HDDs only??

It is affecting other things on my laptop
Very hard to change physical things as they usually are all part of the motherboard

OOps did not catch that. Make that a last resort, harder to do and easier to s(*&up. :huh:

And some ISPs do not let Send Mail work if not from an internal (to the ISPs domain) email server .
