Not really. I have a bootlegged version of Windows XP so I can't get updates or get verified programs so I tend to get alot of spyware, especially since I didn't have one until today. Got rid of it thanks again for those who helped.

firefox + noscript won't get everything

Do this to stop retards.

1. DOWNLOAD THESE Firefox extensions :

*Adblock Plus: blocks all ads

*Adblock Filterset.G Updater: filter for Adblock Plus

*Customize Google: Blocks all Google ads, yes they have ads, and including in gmail or any google service. Tools -> Customize Google Options. Go through each category on the Left and tic off "Remove Adds" (and anything wlse you might like).

*NoScript: as stated above, it is a must to use with firefox.

*SafeHistory: Safe History will clear your private information when you close Firefox.

*SafeCache: to be safer against CSRF attacks.

********** ADDED *****

2.Secure Private Data

*1. Go to your Firefox menu -> Preferences -> Security Tab

Set a "Master Password". This will protect others from displaying your passwords. If you have a sensitive password like to your Bank, BEST NOT TO STORE IT AT ALL.
Cookies

*2. Go to your Firefox menu -> Preferences -> Privacy Tab

UNSELECT "Accept cookies from sites" All cookies are now blocked and you will have to manually accept cookies where it says "exceptions" in that same privacy tab.

I could tell you more but it's not for beginners.

~edit~
Use a firewall, and btw, if you are using a pirated version of XP you WILL be able to use updates. So I do not believe that is how you are catching "nasties".

Preferences are at the bottom of where it says edit on the menu bar. And with NoScript, you have to generally manually accept every site. So to do this you will see a circle on the bottom right of your firefox. It should have a red X or a slash on it. Next just click that and options should pop up. All you have to do for most sites that you trust is to click where it says "Allow Silkroadforums" for example. Usually when you have to login some where you have to except more than just the site itself.
You can also set up options for what you want NoScript to disable by clicking on that circle on the bottom right again and where it says "options".

As far as disabling cookies, you have to manually put in the site + it's subdomains. So for example if I go to yahoo.com and try to log into my mail, I have to manually put in mail.yahoo.com and yahoo.com.

ok give i'll load up some screenshots for you.... and I am using firefox 3 beta 5 so it may be in a different spot.

~~~ edit ~~~~

The smilies should be working because they do for me. Try restarting FF if you havnt already.

This is how my NoScript looks right now

And this is where my preferences are. If they are not there then maybe in Tools or File Tab.

not under file, edit or tool
emoticons still not working
and secure browse is annoying

HawaiianMix · **Joined:** Jan 2008 **Posts:** 786 **Location:**

I do not know why it is not working. Perhaps you made some mistake or there is some type of conflict because I have zero problems.

What version of Firefox are you using?

~~~~~Edit ~~~~

BTW, Options is the same as preferences. There are different variations of Firefox and that is probably why you could not find it. Look for "options".
