I recently found that hijackings has got a bit more bothersome, as they rewrite values in the registry after deleteion. There is no software rewriting as far as i can tell, all i know is after i find the value of the hijacking of the web page, and i delete it, i exit regedit, and press my homepage button on my keyboard, the value is already been rentered, how can i stop this?

Actually Joe, you are supopsed to post technical Questions in the Technical Q&A forum. You get almost instant answers there plus you will get 1000 points as soon as you accept an answer and reward the predetermined point value.

We are workig HARD to get TR to move the Discussion links because everyone misposts here (no you aren't the first). It isn't YOUR fault I think it is a site navigation issue, or poorly named forums.

In this case, I had answered before I noticed it was the wrong forum, usually I skip Technical Questions here.

I am not trying to sound mean or blame you for anything, it's just a website issue that needs to be addressed.

I sincerely hope you manage to get it all cleaned up, if not, please post back to the tech Q&A forums and you will get more help I am sure.

Best of luck,
OM

Ok, i found some programs that work very well on hijackings and popups and the like, one program is for the IE "internet explorer" while cruzen the web. It stops ALL popups and best of all, its free and free upgrades, and its a stand alone program, no 3rd parties and the like, very small but simple and effective in stopping popups, I got it off a cd i had, but i dont know where to find it on the net, onlything i can do is, if you want it, let me know and ill send, also a anti webpage hijacker if you will, witch is also a stand alone program, no upgrades, very simple to use and such, just dont close out of it, leave it running in the task bar. when something tryed to change your page, it lestyou know, you press yes, or no. very simple to say the least, and effective. If you want it the same applies, and sience its legally free, please help others by distributing this to people, thank you.

I had no idea that I could actually earn Tech Points by asking a question. So I checked and sure enough my score has increased by 1,000 after recently asking a question and closing it.

I rarely ask questions on this site, because I have other sources for technical support. So I will in time ask one more question, which will give me that nice little 10k+ icon in discussion forums.

TR is so glitchy and screwed up these days it isn't funny. The improvements are yet to be seen I think.
I really hate to slag somebody that is trying but in this case I have to wonder what these guys are up to. They ask for input and do nothing about it, they have contests and don't send out prizes (even after being reminded), they say they are fixing the link issues, yet we see more and more improperly posted questions each day.
They say they are improvign the site, yet NOTHING has improved and more problems have come up than before, it's just a mess. If it wasn't for you guys, there's no way I would hang around and I am amazed that people actually find use here sometimes, it seems TR has gone to the dogs.

The 100 point bonus is new, it was some sort of pathetic attempt to get people to close questions, however, nobody knows about the 1000 point bonus so it is irrelevant and completely useless. They USED to give out points for receiving TR emails on various subjects, but have stopped that, I don't even get TR emails much any more, despite resubscribing a couple of times.

It seems to be some corporate issue that brought all the mess around, when they went to the Jive Software, everything went down the tubes.

Oh well, at least you guys are still around.
