None of that worked for bookmarks, and I have no backup file.... Blah.

IRT Xellos: Although this is most likely related to a problem updating to Firefox 1.04, it's a known issue that if the Mozilla/Firefox process is killed, or the computer hangs or is powered down while Mozilla is running, there's a good chance of losing bookmarks and cookies. Now you know how to backup it though (although Firefox should have backed it up regularly); just copy Bookmarks.html to a safe place every now and then. You can also do it on every boot, ask how if you don't know.

Wiseman, urgent help would be needed! On Trillian (and AIM as well) I can't see if Cavalier comes online, and can't even get his IMs. He sees me online, and types to me, but I don't recieve anything. He hasn't tilted me either. What could be the reason of this?

!!!I wanna talk with him!!!

You might have accidentally banned him or vice-versa.

Nevermind, he's fooling with me... or hell I don't even know.

Does anybody know of an utility/window manager that will make all Windows' windows snap to each other's borders (like Winamp does)? Since window-based UIs were invented I always found windows annoying because they are hard to align and I hate it when one window is partially above another. I love it how most modern Linux window managers, like KDE's, will allow you to snap windows.

I'm in a serious shit... malware has been installed in my system! what to do?... =.=!

[Dreamer7000]

Find the main problem that is probably a trojan, keeping a gate open for malwares and other shit. As you posted in another topic somewhere. Bidefender/Trojan Guarder and after it Ad-aware.

This is the little bastard i hunted down (pretty quickly i must say, as i don't browse with I.E.) the trouble is that i'm not sure if i got to remove it totall, and i'm afraid that i didn't.

Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Small.afa

does it sound you?

IRT Melfice: I'm in a serious shit... malware has been installed in my system! what to do?

You probably know of it because of a running process, registry key, or anything unusual you found. Just Google for it, there are at least three trojan databases which may have a solution to get rid of it.

Googling for "Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Small.afa" suggests you should search and delete USBN.EXE from your hard drives and all registry keys with the string "USBN.EXE". It doesn't seem too harmful, just a porn dialer.
