i liked teamviewer very much when testing alternate to logmein free, but it proves incompatible w/ a reservation software (ros2006) running on the network i need to use it on.
can’t use tightvnc from it’s IP addressing dependance…
looked at chrome remote desktop too, find it kind of clumsy for lack of better explanation.
any other remote access FREE software anyone can recommend out there plz?
i don’t see any in this thread, thanks~

http://domain-name-registrars.findthebest.com/
but personally i recommend fatcow:
http://www.fatcow.com/
after many years experience i find them the best.
best luck!

they plain ol’ try harder…
didn’t find them on first page here:
http://domain-name-registrars.findthebest.com/
but after many years experience w/ a handful of different domain name registrars now, i am recommending FatCow to everyone who asks.
for the price & excellent customer service they can’t be beat:
http://www.fatcow.com/
for first timers walking you through set up, their phone support is priceless!
you can just get a domain name if that’s all you need, or the best deal is hosting package that includes it, so be aware they push the packages.
good luck!

kewl, someone finally mentions Advanced System Care!… up to version 4 now, my fave ‘freebee’ ever at this point, saves a lot of gunked machines for me, but Ray here fails to mention it’s from Iobit now, not CCleaner… also surprised not to see it mentioned by Fred in the article, probably not enough room for the whole bandwagon, so alas i feel to say something.
& i’m not a shill for them, ever.
the difference between the paid for version ASC 4 and the free is amazingly slight for casual users, scheduling auto tune ups is the main advantage i see for them in the paid version.
but even the more intense users like Ray’s (thanks again man, excellent addition to the article) can get the pro for $10 i think if you install the free & upgrade from their offer after install, sorry foggy on that detail, but not on it’s more valuable tools, gotta love ’em!

Excellent!
So nice to be validated by a Pro! I have used JV16 for too many years to count! Since it came out actually! I find that with a little caution and a lot of finesse you can improve a system beyond that of the original install or build. I do have to restrict my comments to Win XP and older tho, I have not worked these apps on Win 7, yet.

I also use CCleaner Advanced SystemCare Pro (and Free) frequently. I even have enough confidence in both to encourage my users to run them on a weekly basis. My users are programmers and service techs thus are constantly creating thousands of left over files, fragmentations and lots of ‘temp’ files. Resolving their day to day issues and technical research also result in lots of Firefox and Internet Explorer activities and in spite of internal ‘clean up’ settings for both browsers (and Chrome, and Safari, etc.) there is a lot of chaff left over.

I repeatedly find the application of CCleaner, ASC and JV16, IN THAT ORDER, to be all a IT pro needs…

Now to find the magic buttons for all that MalWare and spam!!!!

Excellent article, I really enjoyed and appreciated it. As for those that are asking for more details on ‘uninstallers’, that was not the topic of discussion now was it? Stay on topic guys and start a new one if your interests are elsewhere!

that’s great news Eric!
glad to hear it, this thread particularly caught my eye because i just had my yahoo account hacked, similar situation, but different: the spams had me in the FROM entry, not only ‘reply to’… luckily i caught it about an hour after it happened apparently, i checked the time stamps on the plethora of shize coming in the moment my mailwasher kept loading & loading that account, could see it was when my pc’s were still turned off, i had just started up for the day after all.
so went in & changed me password in the online account interface immediately & voila, message pops into the window saying i been logged out of a couple apps i had never, ever even logged into, duh.
providing some gratification that i might have caught the pr*cks in there & pulled the plug, but i’m a dreamer.
point is, how we’ve all heard it, know i did, i’ve even helped others out of this same mess yet ignored my own advice, at the expense now of embarrassment, & providing 200 people in my yahoo addy book yet another pain in the ass malicious spam:
by changing the password to my webmail accounts on a regular basis!
pain in the arse maybe, but well worth it, just had to chime in~
