What makes my computer unable to access twitter? I don't get the over capicity whale tho but weird pages. WHY?

If you don't like twitter then skip this question, I've heard it before and that is abuse of Y!A TOS thanks!

======================================鈥?br>


I'm pretty active on Twitter. Very often I get bizarre pages that don't allow me to access twitter. Usually it's page down. But today I get a gray page with this in a box:





404 - File or directory not found.

The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.



The other day I kept getting Yahoo homepage when Yahoo is NOT my default search engine (google is).



Why does this happen to me? And how can I fix it?





%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;PLEASE NOTE: I get the same simultaneously on Firefox %26amp; on IE. I clean my cache, cookies %26amp; offline pages %26amp; IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. Then after a while (40min or so) it comes back. Why?



Thanks!

Try messing with your internet options. Or toggling with your system restrictions. (Maybe) You should save everything on something and restart the computer with the whole starter disk and stuff

Why does my computer direct me to a completely different page to what I have selected from google?

Basically I do a search in google, when I go to select what I am looking for it directs me to a complete different page... the ones that come up are usually other search engines i.e pixoseek.com, playingsearch.com, k-directory.co.uk - just to name a few.....How do I change this setting???? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you've got a virus.

Hello,



(ANS) Your DNS look up process has been Hi Jacked , Your computers host file has been infected or corrupted. This is a nasty hacker trick and so it means that anytime you connect with google or any of the major search engines your results will ALWAYS redirect you.



Solution is to a) delete the corrupted hosts file or b) using an editor the hosts file can easily be edited to remove the offending corruptions.



NOTE:- The hosts file normally lives in (windows XP) C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc



a) make a backup copy of the old host file first, %26amp; then rename it %26quot;oldhosts%26quot;

b) edit the copied host file, remove the corrupted records. Save this as hosts.



c) restart the machine otherwise the changes won't take effect. The new host file should work. You can check its working by running a normal search engine search %26amp; testing the resulting site is not redirected as before. i.e. should work as normal.



Hope that helps? Ivan.



PS: The hosts file is just a text file so can be opened with windows notepad (NOT a word processor though, just a plain text editor only)
Please please read!!!! You defo have a virus, same happened to me!

I did the following

-downloaded Spybot Search and Distroy and ran a search for spy ware

-downloaded CCleaner, which is good for freeing up space and speeding your computer up a little, gets rid of all temporary internet files which clogs up your system too!

-downloaded AVG Free Edition and ran a scan



All of the above are free. I had to download them on a friends computer, put them onto a disk then put the disk into my laptop because I couldn't get to any websites.



It worked and my laptop has ran perfectly ever since, hope this helps



Good luck :-)
You more than likely have a trojan/virus hijacker...I would recommend joining a good security forum and post a HJT log...The experts there will help clean your computer....A good free site is linked below as well as how to post your HJT log...



Changing the host file may help...but the malware will still exist on your computer...
Don't know :D



BUT



instead of using google.com

use www.blackle.com instead

it saves energy because it doesnt use colour but is the exact same as google!!

SAVING THE PLANET!
Yes, the previous answer is correct. It definitely sounds like you've got a virus. Try running an antivirus scan and that should cure the problem.
Have you run a virus check? I have heard there are several hijackers around at the moment, I would do one sooner rather than later and keep them up to date.
Unlike typical pop-ups (stopped with available blockers) 3rd party cookies are entirely different critters. When PC's (personal confusers) misbehave, like pop-up's, going to unrequested sites, goofy warnings, etc.; one step to help reduce annoying pop-ups %26amp; unrequested websites from being displayed on your machine is to turn off 3rd party cookies, and always leave them off.



INTERNET EXPLORER: Tools%26gt; Internet Options%26gt; Privacy%26gt; Advanced: here check 'Override automatic....'; 'Allow session cookies'; 'Allow 1st party cookies'; %26amp; 'Block 3rd Party Cookies'.



FIREFOX: Tools%26gt; Options%26gt; Privacy: here UN-CHECK 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'



OPERA, et al: not sure, check under 'options' for this.





Because architecture of the Internet (notably 'Flash' scripting), vulnerabilities are readily exploited in Internet Explorer, %26amp; it is now urgent that you use Firefox WITH the 'NoScript' add-on, which will prevent %26quot;Click-jacking'.

Oh man Why did they delete my Question?it`s so anti iranian.?

Few days ago I ask a question and wanted iranian to search something in google and show how much they care about PERSIAN GULF name , but they deleted my Q!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems that calling PERSIAN GULF, PERSIAN GULF is against yahoo rules. But they should be aware that no one can change the name of PERSIAN PERSIAN GULF, although some stupid people use a stupid fake name instead.
Oh man Why did they delete my Question?it`s so anti iranian.?
Do you mean that they should change the name to Iranian Gulf.
Oh man Why did they delete my Question?it`s so anti iranian.?
dont worry they do it to us negra's to
It was probably a mistake. Try again. Did you say it was anti-Iran? What are you trying to do? Create an International incident?
Persian Gulf Shall Remain Persian Gulf .

Unless no Persian would be Alive in this World (thats Unlikely)





Maybe it was because you gave a link from google and yahoo didnt like that !!

idk ...blind guess .
Its so annoying, I got Iranian questions deleted before too....



I asked one about that why a particular person insulted Iran so much... It got deleted because, as yahoo put it, it was %26quot;soliciting%26quot;.....



Anti Iranian policies... Hate them
I never knew yahoo had anti-iranian policies especially wne iran section is not there in the middle east section ?! .... maybe yahoo has antiiranian poilicies OR someone (arab) might have got offended by %26quot; persian gulf %26quot; and reported your question.... just an assumption may not be true !! :)
Just keep asking :)

SEO - picture Names - do they matter?

If I change the names of the pictures on my site http://www.fortuneweddingfavors.com will that help my SEO for google or yahoo? eg. FCT2bc1-2 is the product code, so the name of the picture, but what if I change it to Organza Heart-Shaped Bag with Single Wedding Fortune Cookie. How would I do that? too many letters for a picture to save? Make it smaller but still a proper description?

Do I run the risk of spamming my keywords though because many are named something like %26quot;elegant wedding fortune cookie%26quot;

Thanks!
SEO - picture Names - do they matter?
Don't worry the name of the picture doesn't matter at all. But you should pay attention to the alt content of the picture

  • How do I get google and yahoo to update my website faster?

    I just learned about meta tags. I didn't realize my website was listed under index. Now, that I changed my title from %26quot;index%26quot; to my home page name, it's still not updated when I do a search. I called yahoo tec support %26amp; they said it takes 2-3 weeks before the update...Is there a faster way? Thanx :)
    How do I get google and yahoo to update my website faster?
    Updating your website frequently with new content and by remaining signed in to your google account (if you have one) will help google index your site faster.



    A 'trick' that I have used before is to post a Google Adsense ad on your site. To determine which ads to show, google has to spyder your site to determine its content. Posting an adsense ad on your site ensure they do that within 1-2 days.

    How do I get google and yahoo to update my website faster?
    When you change your site it is done right then. The problem is that when you have it bookmarked it will access what was previously loaded.

    If you delete the bookmark and then re type it in it will come up correctly.

    I have my site through Geocities and what I told you above has been a rule of thumb for them.

    There may be a difference if you are using a different web hosting service that relies on the crawler system to update.

    If that is the case what they told you may be accurate.

    However different servers use server Crawlers to do the updates.

    How can i turn my blogger in to a functioning full website?

    hi please help, i have a blog i bought a domain name from google over a mth ago, i thought once i bought my domain name it would change the layout, but it didn't...so i need to know how i change my wordpress designed blog, in to a fully functioning website with a vertical tabbed Menu, i want to link to my forum,photos and other stuff....

    i also want to add a fully functioning shopping cart and paypal link.

    please let me know what i should do, i have tried googling but nothing is really comming up.

    thanks you so much in advance
    How can i turn my blogger in to a functioning full website?
    You can do most of those things with the right theme. A theme is just a collection of templates. I don't know if there are any sorts of shopping cart plugins available. If you can't find what you need, you would have to pay somebody to make you a shopping cart template, which is a lot easier than an entire website.
    How can i turn my blogger in to a functioning full website?
    Building a website that integrates a blog, forum, online shopping, and more is a pretty complex process. I'd recommend hiring a professional.

    %26quot;Please please please please please help as soon as you can my final is tomorrow morning! I have to know this!!! Or else I will fail!! :S%26quot;



    These two statements seem to contradict each other huh? Lets go with the first one. Why don't you just look it up on google?

    Where can I find out more information on the following subjects?

    My father sent me the following information. My questions follow in paranthesis.



    Yes, I could ask him for more details, but at 81 yrs old getting this information was a miracle.



    The very first (medical) practice I worked for was my own. I set up private practice in my home town of west frankfort in 1954. (That would be in Franklin county, Illinois. - How do I get the name of the practice or any other records on it for that year?)



    The following year I was offered the position of Director of Health Service at SIU, which I accepted. (This would be Southern Illinois University in or near Carbondale, Illinois, 1955.) I stayed there until 1971 (Would like to know how I can track down records on that by e-mail if possible.) when I left to join Bob Walker in Indiana to found BEDS Inc, so I worked for myself again (in a group of Docs) for the next 10 yrs. (Wed site and/or history of Beds Inc.?)



    I left in '81 to join the Health Service at ASU (Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. He worked at the Student Health Center %26amp; was also the sports team doctor for a short time. How would I find documentation to verify this?) where I worked for about 17 yrs before coming to Flagstaff. While 'retired' I worked part-time at the Health Service at NAU.



    In 1962 I got a Sabatical from SIU and went to Mashoko for 9 months. (Moshoko was in Rhodesia, Africa. Now it goes by a different name. I would like to know what that name is and if the mission hospital there still exists. Rhodesia is now Zimbabwe. I think that the name change came after '74.)





    In 1974 I went to S. Rhodesia and worked in Dr Gottliebs practice for 4 months

    In 1985 I went to Kenya and worked at Tenwek Hospital for several months.

    In 1987 I went to Niger and worked at Galmi Hospital for several months.



    I believe that the last two or three lines of his statement are presently academic. I'm sure that I can find the information on a Google search. The other stuff has been difficult to find.



    His name is Dr. Richard V. Lee and I am his son. I would like to surprise him for his birthday with a written biography on this information for nostalgic reasons.



    Your help is sincerely appreciated!
    Where can I find out more information on the following subjects?
    Ok you do have a lot of questions so I'll do my best.



    To find the name of the first medical practice contact the local city or county genealogy society. They should have the old phone directories. Could also be in the public library.



    Contact the University for information on past staff members. Any personal details would require your father's signature. Google the info on Beds, Inc. (Keep in mind that the mental souveniers of our parents is not 100%.)



    Once again for the info in Tempe Arizona contact the University



    The information regarding the work in Africa is probably the hardest to track down and verify. Political boarders have changed but I would try contacting the Doctors without Borders organization to get the details.



    I wish you all the luck in the world in this venture.

  • Domain Name and Search Engine question?

    Hi,



    I created a website uploaded it to hosting and then got a domain name. My website showed up on google as the domain name. I.e. www.mywebsite.com



    Now that has dissapeared and it is showing the actual website where it is hosted... i.e. www.hosting.com/user/webpage/page20



    How do I get this changed back to the original domain name and not the long winded hosting address.



    Thanks
    Domain Name and Search Engine question?
    I am a webmaster with 4+ years of experience, you could do that in any other search engines, but the way Google spider works now, is to look at the source after follow again, it will recognize and it would replace it with the natural hosted page.

    The Google brain is keep getting better and better tools to do all these and day by day it gets smarter and smarter.

    The only way to do what you want to do is, to use the domain provider that comes with full tools that you could mask the domain name with adding keywords (These days most of domain providers have this future, if you don't know how, just call them and ask %26quot;How could I mask the redirect and add keywords, that I think you already have done that), but here is the point: Don't add meta description %26amp; meta keyword in the hosted page, this way your domain name uses keywords for search engines, and the hosted page doesn't, so you win the search with the domain not the hosted page.

    I have done this and it has worked, because your domain name is out there in the same keyword that you have find the hosted page, but just not in the same page as the hosted page appears; the hosted page appearance will drop the other domain to lower possition in the same keyword, so you do the opposite by taking the meta power from the hosted page and keeping the domain masked with assigned keywords.

    I have done this and it will take time to see the result, depends on the keyword popularity, and I don't think that anyone knew this (maybe), so thank me the way it goes in the Y! answer.

    I hope the info was helpful.

    How can i prevent someone from remotely accessing my computer and changing my fb and youtube id ??

    about a year ago i was at the begining of my eng. study and i meet a girl from a site of those who make contests for programming languages and thier applications ,as soon as i began to see strange things like my computer name changed on its own ,browser pages open without i click them moreover the site that appeared i have never seen them before , google shearch is activaed also without my knowlege and search for things or even change its moode from %26quot;resticted %26quot; moode

    every time she does something like that i just re setup my windows , but i am tired of that and really want to find an answer :S:S:S

    desperately needs help
    How can i prevent someone from remotely accessing my computer and changing my fb and youtube id ??
    don't except files.Sounds like she got you to download the server.She was either clever as to using certain binders to get it past your av or you were not running any av at all.

    How do i stop this?

    Whenever i go to a search engine like google and follow a link from one of the results, it goes to a completely different page. these pages often have adult content, but seem to be other different search engines. i have tried blocking my computer from these sites - but the name changes every time. what is causing this and how do i stop it? it is annoying. i just want to be sent to the page that i am trying to get to.
    How do i stop this?
    you have a browser hijacker. You need to run an anti-spyware app like Ad-aware or Spybot to get rid of it.



    Also try resetting your web settings. goto tools %26gt; internet options %26gt; programs tab. click the 'reset web settings' button at the bottom.
    How do i stop this?
    I shall confirm what the guy above me said.



    Also get an anti virus program (like mcafee AVG) and do a full system scan



    also get spybot search and destroy and do a scan

    it should fix your problem
    It sounds as though you have a virus or spyware on your computer - which has hijacked your internet browser. Scan for viruses and spyware (some tools suggested below) and possibly use a more secure browser such as Firefox or Opera which are less tolerant of hijacking.
    Sounds like you might have a problem with adware, or google is getting even worse than it was for a search engine.



    Try running a spyware scan with any of the free programs available. Try %26quot;Search and Destroy%26quot; a freebie easily found on download.com or try using another search engine like alltheweb.com instead of google.
    Hi

    There is a way to stop that follow these steps:

    Step 1: Go to Tools in the Menu Bar and Click Internet Option and then go to Security for each of the zones Click Default Level.

    Step 2: In the same window Click Privacy and Click Settings and then remove all web sites you find there.

    Step 3: Download this free software to block any harm web site by just typing the words for example %26quot;Adult%26quot; and you will see all adult site will never access to the internet any more

    To Download this Software Press The Following Link:

    I hope this work and Take Care
    check what programs and add ons you've installed recently, may be related to spyware thats running, check msconfig/startup,

    empty temp folder(s)

    empty temporary internet files folder,

    empty downloaded installations folder,

    delete trash in recycle bin,

    then scan for spyware, ad-aware or spybot or other...

    How do I delete my old facebook group from google?

    Last year I created a facebook group. I deleted it today when I realized that when I google my name the facebook group and my name show up in the results. I thought the link would disapear, but it didn't; I guess I should have changed the privacy settings. Now when I click the link it just brings me to the facebook homepage, but I don't want the link there because it's showing my full name. I've tried a few times to delete the URL through the webpage removal request tool, but I've been denied everytime. I have no idea how to get facebook to modify or remove the page as google says to.
    How do I delete my old facebook group from google?
    This may not be right, but I would think you will need to send a letter to facebook asking them to completely delete your account. Try customer service at facebook.......

    Webshot users: Why do my pictures (in private albums) appear when I enter my member name in the Webshot's?

    search engine? I was bored and did that and was totally caught off guard that some (not all) pics from my private albums showed up. I was not signed in when I did that. The albums were once public, but changed to private. In addition, I entered my member name in google to see if the private albums show up, and indeed, a few did! So I signed back into my account to make sure all the albums are private (btw, I changed the albums to private more than half a year ago). I became furious when I couldnt find any answers on their Help page and then more when I cant contact them cuz I have a free membership. So anyone know how I can keep my private stuff from coming up on the search engines both within google and webshots? I really dont want to delete the albums, but if that's the only way to not publicize my pics, then goodbye Webshots!



    Any ideas? sorry for rambling on.

  • I can't get rid of a computer virus?

    So my computer was infected with the vundo virus about a week ago (it had been running for almost a month, but it got so bad last week that I did something about it), and I downloaded the malwarebytes program. I ran it, it removed the virus and my computer worked fine for a few days.



    The problem started yesterday after I restarted my computer for the first time since I removed the virus (I have a bad habit of leaving my computer on for long periods of time). When I started it again, it started fine then it wouldn't load anything I started and if it did load, it stopped working after a minute or two. I can load it fine in safe mode (I'm in safe mode with networking right now) and I've been trying to remove whatever is wrong with it, but nothing is working. I tried malwarebytes again and it insisted my computer was clean. I then downloaded two other vundo remover programs (VirtumundoBegone and Vundo Fix), one said my computer was clean and the other said I was infected with vundo again and then claimed it removed it. After neither of those worked, I downloaded Vcleaner, changed the name, and ran it. It worked fine until it just randomly closed during the scan without telling me it was done or had a problem or anything. It did this three times. Today, I downloaded the AVG virus removal tool, which, unfortunately, I cannot install in safe mode. I attempted to install it in %26quot;normal mode,%26quot; but it froze like every other thing I've tried to open in the past two days.



    What can I do to clean my computer? What might be wrong with the Vcleaner that it keeps closing? I can't work in safe mode forever and I can't seem to find anything that effectively scans my computer and then removes whatever is harming it. I don't download ANYTHING off the internet and I only visit sites that either show up on a Google search or are big name sites that millions of people visit everyday with no problem (like Facebook or Yahoo), so I don't even know how I got this virus.
    I can't get rid of a computer virus?
    I've been a network administrator for over 12 years now. Here's what I do about virus and spyware infections: I backup all the documents, pictures, music, etc., and then I put in the Windows CD and have it format the hard drive and start over. That's the only way to be 100% sure that all of the infections are removed. For backing up the data files, I prefer an online file host (such as http://www.drivehq.com ) instead of a USB drive because recent viruses (like Conflicker) can infect your USB drive.



    What should you back up? Almost always these days, if you just back up your %26quot;My Documents%26quot; folder (and the My Documents folders for other users on the computer), you'll have saved everything. Microsoft and third party software manufacturers are becoming very good at making sure all of your stuff goes into that folder, or a subfolder (such as My Pictures).



    For the future, I recommend that you use Mozy Home Free Edition to keep your documents backed up online. Then you won't have to hesitate if you want to ever reformat your computer again. Here is a YouTube video that I made about how to use Mozy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmhAoPCmO鈥?/a>



    I also recommend installing Site Advisor at http://www.siteadvisor.com. It will pop up a red balloon any time you go to a web site that has malicious downloads. It will also put red, yellow, and green icons next to your Google and Yahoo search results.



    Lastly, here are my recommendations for anti-virus products:



    All antivirus do just as well at detecting viruses. So the best antivirus is a free one. Here are three free ones that you can choose from:



    AVG Free Edition: http://free.grisoft.com

    Avast 4 Home: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht鈥?/a>

    Avira Antivir Personal: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avi鈥?/a>

    PC Tools Antivirus Free Edition: http://www.pctools.com/free-antivirus/

    Comodo Antivirus: http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/antiv鈥?/a>

    What is it called when you change your computer's opening program?

    When I used to open up the Internet Explorer, Yahoo would pop up but I accidentally changed it to Ask.com. Now I can easily ask Google a %26quot;how to%26quot; but Forgot the name of what it is called to get instructions. It is not a screensaver but it is........?



    Thanks in advance.

    Hi

    Sadly there is only one answer and its not pretty. the only real answer is a rebuild. the registry will be really confused if you try anything else.

    the registry is the heart and soul of the PC.

    you have confused it.

    a PC is a very simple device not as intelligent as a human, it can not deal with several changes.

    A virus changed the destination and possibly name of my files, how can I find them?

    -I use windows vista

    -my restore system only back to Dec. 7th, where I still have everything the same.

    -i have tried google desktop, windows search and detect my files.

    -the virus' name was Security Tool, it's not %100 out yet

    You need to use a strong anti virus to detect and delete that virus.

    Here are my suggestions (Bitdefender , Nod 32).

    If this problem continues then the virus already damaged your windows , in this case you need to format your widows.

    Don't download from a site you don't know or trust , believe me untrusted sites can cause alot of troubles.

    Just use a reputable anti-spyware for scanning and removing everything. Alternatively try Spyware doctor, Malwarebytes or Superantispyware. These programs should help you to fix everything.

    Download a copy of Ubuntu.



    It is an OS that is immune to the viruses.



    Burn the .iso to a CD.



    Restart your computer with the disk in the drive (make sure you set your bios to boot from disk)



    When it boots up, choose the run from disk mode so that your computer settings will be unchanged.



    After it is running, take some time to get to know the OS.



    Go to the %26quot;Places%26quot; tab on the menu and choose your hard drive.



    You will be able to look at all of your files on the computer and should be able to access any file that have been contaminated.



    After you clean up everything dual boot your system and use Ubuntu so you don't have to worry about getting anymore viruses.



    Tons of videos on youtube on how to do it.

    How do I remove my name from being searched on google on Zoobody.com? How do I even delete my profile there?

    http://zoobodypark.com/priv_srchusers.ph鈥?/a> %26lt;- I'm one of the names on that list so when you look up my name it directs to there, with my full name and all. I know it was stupid to sign up for something like that but it was impulsive, spontaneous. I changed my profile so that everything was wrong, and removed all my pictrues but I still don't want my name to link there. How do I delete my profile there? Nothing on the site says %26quot;Delete Profile%26quot;. who do I contact or is there another way to delete the profile that Idk? And remove my name from being searched. Thats just creepy, and since I have a unique name its the only site that pops up. Thanks for the help!
