Guest Spirit Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 The FREE version of Avira has a nag screen that pops up almost full screen when the auto-updater runs. Anyone know the three ways to disable it? Quote

Also unless you are actually noone@notthere.net you are causing unnecessary junk mail to be sent to someone's mail servers , by using what you think us a "fake" e-mail address for posting here without bothering to check the existence of the domain in question see http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/resu...in=notthere.net As you can see notthere.net is a real domain and used by some one and I doubt they are too happy about you using their domain name. Before you pick a "fake" name for use in newsgroup be careful and check to see if it is is in use or avoid trying to be cleaver and just use a genuinely invalid address such as a .local name as these are not valid for use as internet visible names. -- Mike Brannigan Quote
Guest Spirit Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Actually I did years ago, and it was grabbed by someone since and I never checked again. Changed now.

Guest Spirit Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah then I get yelled at by some other yahoo for cross posting. A tip for you, next time you have a thought don't.

Guest Mike Brannigan Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 The domain you are currently using is currently not in use but IS available see http://www.networksolutions.com/domain-nam...Available=false So if someone did register this domain then you would be causing them SPAM too. Just stop using a real domain name. none@localhost is fine and will cause no problems and is accepted by your news client that you are currently posting with. -- Mike Brannigan "Spirit" <noone@makeitgopoof.org> wrote in message news:u9qWp1bSJHA.408@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...<span style="color:blue"> > Actually I did years ago, and it was grabbed by someone since > and I never checked again.

Multiposting just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help than you should get. If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so by crossposting -- sending a single message simultaneously to multiple newsgroups (but only to a few related newsgroups).
