Get a antivirus program if you don't have it, and also go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com and download Ad-Aware..it'll look for spyware, the little annoying things on your PC that cause all those popups to come up.

Oh, and stop surfing porn sites too :D

Bro if you're using dialup do yourself a favour & ditch Microshite Internet Trawler for Opera.

It's a much faster browser with awesome integrated features like... popup control !! no third party software required. It is genuinely faster, I will never go back to IE.

I use the google toolbar, and they're courteous enough to let you know that you can take part in a statistic gathering exercise. My firewall makes sure the google module (a DLL file) does not send recieve any data of its own, instead only directs IE to go to websites. So far it worked well.

I run Adaware every month or so, usually picks up a few cookies n shit.

Oh an I also used to use this MASSIVE hosts file that mapped all the malicious URL's and ad URLs like adrotator etc to localhost, so none of em ever loaded up. Never tried to use it since migrating to WinXP though.

Some good stuff to have on your machine....

Ad-Ware and spyware:

Ad-Aware 6 - lavasoft as many people have mentioned.

CWshredder - This is good if your browser has been hijacked.

Hijack This - yes it is the name fo the program which gives you a log of some crap you may not want on your machine and alows you to remove it, but you would want to know what you are doing before you go deleting all this so if you don't there are plenty of forums out there where you can post this up and get help.

SpyBot-search and destroy - I like this program :).

I am also using sygate personall firewall Pro at the moment and it seems alright too.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
