Re: OT Telemarketers
Not to change directions but dang, this WinShow browser hijack is still around *after* repeated removals (manually unregistering its files and deleteing them, to using Ad Aware 6).
I don't know how it keeps coming back... I'm really pissed at 8ad.com and 00hq.com People like that make me sick... especially since I *never* agreed to use their software. I wonder if my startup items were modified to get the latest crapware from them. |

Re: OT Telemarketers
Just the other day someone show up at my door. I look thru the stain glass door and did not recognize them and they were wearing regular clothing, so they were not Mormons either. I open the door to see what gives! And guess what! It was a salesperson...... AAGGGGGGG..….I hate door-to-door salesmen. No mater what I say, the dude would not SHUT UP!! And when he finally did shut up!… after five f---ing minutes... he ask me for a drink of water, so I told him stay there… and I got him a cup of water and told him to keep the f---ing cup, and then I closed the door.
Well… I did not say keep the f---ing cup... but I felt like saying it. I hope this not the return of the door-to-door salesmen because of telemarketing. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif [ November 06, 2003, 05:19: Message edited by: Cosmos ] |

Also, you may want to check your startup menu - most of the stuff in there is usually pretty worthless, so go ahead and get rid of it by renaming the directory (usually C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp) to something else - ...\Programs\DisabledStartup, perhaps - to allow revcovery of anything you actually want to start up on startup (for example, I've got a remote control utility for the TV tuner installed into my machine; that, I do want). |
Re: OT Telemarketers
my stomach now feels somewhat better, but you don't want to hear of my recent activity.

Re: OT Telemarketers
My favourite trick with telemarketers is to ask if they mind being put on hold. Then I put the phone next to my stereo and play loads of highly offensive punk music. (Snuff's 'arsehole' is a particular favourite)
You can check back 5 minutes later and they'll often still be there, but by 10 minutes they've usually hung up. |
