You can see more information and get the link to the free download at the GeekSite. It ("the GeekSite") is more of a tech site that lists good quality stuff you can use for free.
]]>Before clicking a link, mouse over it and look at the url that shows up on the bottom of your web browser.
If you do get in trouble, do not click on the hello script window. Instead open the taskmaster and kill all IE instances. Then empty all of your temp folders. This will help keep bad programs from spawning on boot.
If you have any questions leave them as a comment.
]]>If a child gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious, and alarming.
Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the mapquest and directions straight to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same. Quite scary.
Please look up your own number.
In order to test whether your phone number is mapped, go to: google (http://www.google.com/) Type your phone number in the search bar (i.e. 555-555-1212) and hit enter. If you want to BLOCK Google from divulging your private information, simply click on your telephone number and then click on the Removal Form. Removal takes 48-hours.
Check your own number and although this may not apply to you if you have an unlisted number or cell phone as primary contact, but you may know someone who needs to know this.
Please share this information with friends and family
WHEN CHECKING YOUR NUMBER DONT PUT IN THE PREFIX 1— ONLY YOUR AREA CODE AND TELEPHONE NO…

Optimization of the computer sounds a lot more complicated than it really is; keep on reading to find out how easy it is to do you’re self. You can save about a hundred bucks doing this for you’re self instead of having Geek Squad or Fire dog do it.
First I like to start by uninstalling all the unneeded and
trial crap. That means you need to go to the add and remove programs feature on you’re computer. Next proceed in getting rid of all the programs that you don’t want.
After the general house keeping is done navigate to Ccleaner (”google is your friend”) and download it.
Open Ccleaner and run it, in both settings. This will clean out most of the temporary files and cookies folders; among other things. I use it myself.
Now you need an auto start program manager; among other
things, so navigate to this site to get all kinds of optimization soft ware for free Windows Sysinternals. I use this stuff all the time.
If you’ve been running windows for a while now you need to
disable some auto starting programs.
I like to start with the Adobe updater and reader; they will start when they are called for, so will the others that you disable. When that’s done I go for QuckTime and all the ITunes helper stuff. I also turn off the instant messengers. By this point you have removed a large start up burden from you’re newly optimized computer, restart and make sure that things stayed off.
Between uninstalling unwanted soft ware and turning off some
unneeded auto starting programs, you have sped up you’re computing
experience a bunch.
You can install full feature photo type applications and
office soft ware at a later time; for free.
You can add new blogs, delete unwanted blogs and customize existing blogs (title, sidebar, skin, widgets, etc.) from the Blog Settings tab in the admin interface.
