Hard drive borked...

Post by The Cleric »

and i lost all of my stuff. Quickly now, what should I do first to set this new up properly (security and such)?

Also, what exensions should I get for Firefox? I forgot which ones I had, because they were just second nature.

My extensions are:
Deepest Sender
BBCode
Image Zoom
Gmail Notifier
BugMeNot
Bandwidth Tester
Adblock
ForecastFox

I hope those help. Ok now for security you'll want something to kill spyware (adaware's been compromised as seen in another thread. If that's what you were using before don't any more). You'll need a software firewall if you don't have one already. OFC you'll need a virus scanner.

Alright, how do I turn off auto-complete? You know, that stupid little drop down menu when you type in the google seearch bar?

One spyware group unlisted is not a total failure.
