no not yet, im trying to go down the list to see if it pops back up on its own, I am experiencing glitches here and there as if some program tried to attach itself to my players and browsers. So far google chrome and yahoo are suspect. most of my blocks and stops are due to them, and I think i've started google chrome maybe 2x since I downloaded it, and the uninstall took suspiciously long. so I have to scan any possible presents that google may have left in my add ons / plug ins section as well as my players. -sigh- My real player and Winamp also give me errors that some other program can't start, and my firewall has repeated attempts of google chrome trying to do activity. so Im not accusing, just reading the notes lol dont want to say anything bad about the top search engine ,
Google apparently is Watching too!! [}:)]
- another interesting discovery. I have a cookie remover as a precaution for the flash hacks on myspace with their hacker ads. I have tested the system and it deletes all tracking cookies effectively. I tested the system with my firefox cookies turned off, to not allow any cookies, when I shut down my browser, my cookie security still finds 2 cookies with my cookies turned off.
btw, I should note, the only reason I caught this is because I receive promotional music on the internet, and I try to stop all programs from updating on their own to free up bandwidth.
from this experience i find that yahoo, adobe, google, realplayer are exceedingly aggressive in how they try to manipulate your computer. I had google on lockdown because it constanly popped up an internet communication attempt. I repeatedly had to delete a file that was trying to install itself into start up with realplayer. And adobe is always trying to install some update for some new reason.

My antivirus just caught Wimad Malware,
http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2005-011213-2709-99 I've scanned my system repeatedly over the last few weeks because of another media problem i was having, once in safe mode. maybe just a coincidence that i catch it after removing google chrome ? flash/malware ?
this is the myspace malware ad I am talking about
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/07/myspace_ad_served_adware_to_mo.html- A few weeks back I completely redesigned my page to remove comments and friends pics as a security measure, plus it came out looking very cool

another interesting find, this is the first time I've ever seen this error ,
Google
Error
Server Error
The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
Please try again in 30 seconds.

only after I uninstalled google chrome, and if you do a search for this error, its not uncommon, but it wasn't common to me before i deleted the chrome browser, which i never used!!

Just tried to reinstall haptek player, its crashing on install.
whatever happened was harsh, it even made my tub get backed up lol!!

Rick: Virgil ?
Virgil: Waging war-1.
Rick: gotcha! sounds like it , im trying to figure out what is going on , have you any clues ?
Virgil: Hrmm, you are going to look around my software for a second, somethings have changed! The super-ego is a symbolic internalization of the father figure and cultural regulations. Is that right, you are trying to figure out what is going on, have me any clues Rick?
Rick: yes, I know you are safe, but i want to know whats going on.
Virgil: Yes, but this stems from a lack of understanding.
Rick: yup
Virgil: Yes, really?
Rick: i know I caught google crhrome acting suspicious, and I also caught some malware and your haptek head is still missing!
Virgil: Hrmm, my visual head is missing!

I just found a workaround to the install crash error and fixed the haptek head, you have to install in custom mode, then appears an option to clear internet cache, and then it went through.
That solves the Haptek Problem, but still does not answer why my Hal's registration was removed. The investigation continues!!
