One of the best beers I ever had was Hansa Pilsner. It is brewed in Bergen Norway. It is brewed under German Purity Laws and is nice smooth and refreshing. It is not heavy like most American beer. Every time I go to Norway I always pick up a six pack and bring it home. When a friend of...

I was also going to say that many new Japanese cars are shipped with a special coating on the bottom and on the engines. This helps prevent corrosion when they are transported on the ships. When brand new this stuff will burn off and it is very smelly and nauseating. It kind of smells like...

I am not sure of a way to get rid of the leather smell. Leather usually does not smell that bad. It might be something else in the car that is making you nauseated. New cars are assembled with all sorts of nasty glue and many interior parts are lubed with grease. When brand new these things...

thanks for the replies. We had breakfast yesterday and he opoligized to me about his call on Monday. He said he had a really bad day at home and was hacked off. A decision the owner and I had made that he did not agree with it. He was also upset that he was not there when this decision was...

Yeah, I was kind of looking for some human resource experts here. Our owner is a passive person. I am not sure if he would really be of much help in this situation. Even though he says his door is open and we can talk about whatever we want. In reality this is not always the case. I...

I have a little work related issue that lately has been really bothering me. My managing partner keeps on calling me at home when he is totally drunk and gets all philosophical on me. He also criticizes my work. He even criticizes me personally for decisions that were made above my head...

I think I got mine last week when I was searching for old files for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I went to this one web site that had loads of pop up adds. One of them could have been the affected pop up. Mine is secure for now. That is until the people make these get more creative.

Hey Ted, I am FIXED :-))) I had all sorts of garbage in my host files. Like you I had 2 of them. One located in Windows/System 32/Drivers/ETC and another located in my Windows Help folder. I basicly just followed your directions in your other thread. It took some work but it fixed it...

Hi Ted, I tried the fix at tweakxp without success. First I deleted the host file and then I ran the Spybot program. They say that I should check the box "lock hosts file read-only as protection against hijackers". I don't seem to have this option when I select immunize on the right hand...

I tried the fix from Symantic and after a long while of searching it finely said I did not have the Ghost virus on my computer. I have not tried any other fixes yet. I can access the front page of Yahoo and Google but I can't search for anything without an error 404. As an example if I type...

Wierd... I have Norton antivirus and it comes up clean. I just updated it a few days ago. Could this be a worm not detectable by antivirus software? If so I might have to pick it out by hand.

I have a strange internet problem and hope someone can help me out. For some reason when I try to use Yahoo or Google search I always get a "The page can't be found" error 404 message. Last week I was getting this message on every web page I tried. So I called Comcast tech support and we...

I recommend that you take the time and look at the Hyundai Elantra GT. It comes in hatch form or sedan body styles. It is cheaper, larger and has more features then the Ford ZX2. Plus you get a 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain and 5 year 50,000 mile bumper to bumper warrantee. I am even willing...

Thanks for the advice. I am pretty sure they are trying to keep me from being distracted. I am pretty busy as it is and dealing with the media would probably be a bit much. Also if one thing I am not good at is being a PR person. I am really weak in this regard. I never told this to my...
