It's Time For A New Computer Mouse!



I HATE when things go wrong! As as you can probably tell from this blog I will like hold on to things forever!

My computer mouse has been giving me some trouble for a while now. It's a computer mouse that is a trackball computer mouse and I have been told that they have come out with new and upgraded kinds of computer mouses - since I have had mine for ages!

Since it is a trackball computer mouse the trackball has been sticking for some time. I have had to take the computer mouse apart and clean the inside of it more than just a few times!

So its time to get a new computer mouse!

ITotalfind!??????????

I don't know how this gets onto one's computer but it is very annoying!

What happens is that when you view a website with adsense ads on it you won't be able to see the adsense ads. Instead what you will see is ads by itotalfind!

There also seems to be a big problem when you try to get rid of this. Apparently it is a very hard thing to do! It's being classified as malware. According to Wikipedia, Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent. Here is a discussion board that is discussing the topic and possible ways to get ri of it. But so far nothing seems to be working. One person posted that they tried contacting the company but still nothing has been done. Another person said that they had to reinstall their windowings operating system just to get rid of it!

It could also have something to do with it being associated with some type of affiliate program and when people join the affiliate program they get it installed on their computer.

How Long Does A Computer Monitor Last?

I'm already having trouble with my CD drive and now comes a new problem with my computer monitor! I know its an older monitor model but I was hoping that it would last forever!

I'm having a problem with my computer monitor in that it is not coming on! The plugs and connections are securly in place and the lights on the computer monitor that are supposed to light up are lit up! But it is not coming on. Now I had the computer on for two days straight and it was working fine up until then. But when I got it out of "sleep" mode that is when the screen went blank. Now I have tried turning it on and off again but it only shows for a few seconds and then the computer screen goes blank! I'm hoping if I leave it off for a while (to let it "cool" down?) that it will come back on again and everything will be as it was.....

But I am curious as to how long a computer monitor can last. I still have the instruction manual for it and I have read it and the only thing that it mentions besides making sure that the plugs and connections are secure is to check and make sure that the monitor has proper ventilation.

So please keep your fingers crossed!

Annoying Little Popup

I have this annoying little pop-up that shows up on the bottom of my screen everytime I log onto the internet.

It's for the Norton Ghost program. When I first got this computer I had access to it for free for a certain amount of time. After that time was over I decided that I didn't want the program just yet. So I thought that the annoying pop-up reminders would go away. No such luck!

Now I have to figure out a way to get the reminder to stop popping up without messing up the configuration of my computer!

12/31/08 Update!

Unfortunately I still haven't been able to figure out a solution to this annoying little pop-up!

I did some searching online - but still couldn't find anything!



February 2009 Update!

Yep! I'm still having this problem!
