nuttynutz Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 hey guys, started using firefox and boy is it so much better than explorer, no more annoying spywarez messing up my pc. anyway, for the guys that know how, where are the bookmarks/favorites link saved on the pc? planning to reformat pc, but would like to save my favorites first. (internet explorer is easy to find, cdrive - documents and settings - etc etc) thanks, if anyone knows Ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Firefox ROCKS! No more annoying banners on certain Supra web sites :wink: Anyway, bookmarks : Click Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > File > Export Sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Yeah I have been using it for a while now ( IanC advice ) and it is so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttynutz Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 ahhh brilliant thanks Jake, didnt realise you had to create the file, thought it be like IE. nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Yeah I have been using it for a while now ( IanC advice ) and it is so much better. I keep getting folks asking me to look at their PCs that are totally stuffed with Spyware and browser hijacks. The ones that have taken my advice and switched to FF are usually ok after that, the ones who are persisting with Internet Explorer are regular customers, . . . bless 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then i didnt realise using FF or other browsers would reduce spyware till my neighbour told me bahhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 ahhh brilliant thanks Jake, didnt realise you had to create the file, thought it be like IE. It is like that with IE, in IE6 it's (File > Import And Export > Next > Export Favorites) You can do it other ways if you know your way around a PC but I think that the 'user' way to export your porn bookmarks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuttynutz Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 jake since you an expert at this stuff, what is the best spyware remover would you recommend? i've tried lavasoft ad-adware pro, but that seriously messed up my pc once as it accidently deleted something important which was required to boot into windows. so am currently using spybot - search and destroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I'm no expert mate, I just use Spybot S&D, HiJackThis, Adaware and Regedit (and Google for finding specific removal tools once the other apps have identified the problem) Some of these new Spyware things are complete bastards to remove but I usually find that somebody else has already had the same problem and there's a tool out there to fix it. They usually work better in Safe Mode of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
