skinsguy 11-09-2005, 09:21 PM Hey Guy!
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to the thread. Anyways, I'm glad that I know someone else who has used JGrasp. I downloaded Eclipse and honestly, I didn't like the interface too well, but after someone who is currently taking Java showed me how to get started in it, I believe I'm going to like Eclipse over JGrasp. I'm sure all Java compilers have their issues, but I have had a few issues with JGrasp finding phantom errors.
As for setting Java up with Access (which is darn near impossible,) I think I am just going to use SQL for the database. The only reason why I was wanting to use Access, is because I am more familiar with Access as opposed to SQL. However, since our database has over 800,000 records stored, then I'm going to need a database that is much faster than Access.
That Guy 11-10-2005, 12:42 AM SQL is much easier to get support and example code for, since everyone and their brother uses it ;) and yeah, 800,000 records + access is a bad idea.
FRPLG 11-10-2005, 01:16 AM Seems to me that SQL is far easier to understand and learn considering it supports a true DB environment whereas MS's proprietary Access Language is much more confusing. Of course I use SQL on a daily basis and haven't touched Access in years so I am a little out of touch on it. Go with MySQL and you'll be happy you did.
JoeRedskin 11-10-2005, 01:29 AM Okay, this is not java related but just a computer question in general. Somehow i got this "Winfix 2005" thing popping up and redirecting my web page. gives me a pop-up box to install it "just click ok". I do NOT click okay and hit the "x" to cancel it. this starts a chain of about 4 redirects.
I've run spyroot and adaware but can't seem to find where this thing is buried. anyone got any suggestions? I did a web search and got the website I am always directed to. Basically I have to buy it to uninstall it, and, even then, I am betting it doesn't completely uninstall.

Goto C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and look at the host file. You can open the host file with notepad. See if the website's address and or IP address has attached itself to the host file. This is the file that spyware tends to look for when it installs itself. There is a way of locking this host file down so that spyware can't access it. If you do a google search for host file locking, you might run across the fix.
You might also want to try a virus scan. The antivirus software might get rid of it. You can delete the registry keys for this program if you are comfortable editing the registry, but if you don't know what you're doing, I would suggest not doing so. Believe me though, the program can be deleted without purchasing the software.

I actually have a REALLY good program that we use at work. It's called Spyware Doctor and I got it before they started charging for it. If you have AIM or something I could send it to you. You just update it and it's the best spyware protection/removal I've ever seen. Also, I'd be glad to Remote into your computer and clean it up for ya.
That Guy 11-11-2005, 01:24 PM bitdefender is the best AV software (in actual verified tests) and its free... ad-aware (lavasoft.de) is the best anti-malware package i've used, also free.
TheMalcolmConnection 11-11-2005, 02:12 PM Ad-aware is good at removing spyware, but Spybot Search&Destroy is free and it gives you realtime protection. I also would add Spywareblaster. The combination of Spybot and Spywareblaster gives you the highest protection possible.
skinsguy 11-12-2005, 02:25 PM I'm not necessarily a big Microsoft guy, but one thing that does interest me about the new Internet Explorer is that 7.0 is supposed to have this anti-phishing program built into IE so that it will do a scan of the site and let you know if it has the potiential of phishing information. This should help to cut down on alot of the spyware that clogs up our computers. I still mainly use Firefox and Opera though, but for those who like IE, this might be something good to look forward to.
That Guy 11-12-2005, 04:05 PM the best thing IE could do is not allow the use of activeX controls in any way ;)
