Re: Need help please answer my other thread someone

If you make your living with your computer never ever use it on the internet (except to register the software) I don't even use it to download upgrades. I download to my home computer and then transfer it via a usb drive.

Re: Need help please answer my other thread someone

We discovered that reinstalling Windows (2000/XP) can change the Serial Number. This is part of our fingerprint so, along with other undisclosed reasons, this was creating a "new install" record.

We are working on this now. It has created a lot of demand on our support, which we respond to as soon as we discover what is wrong. We NEVER expected to find the Windows SN changing!!!!!

We deal with things as they become clear. We solve them as soon as we can.

If you run into a problem, we now have a new Registration and Download Problems Forum to post your problems in. This is the best way to get our attention to solve your problem when reinstalling doesn't work.



We STRONGLY RECOMMEND that everyone put ZoneAlarm Pro on your computer. This protects you when you go on the Internet.

If you use Windows Internet Explorer, NEVER click on a rotating Banner Ad on a page (MTU does not display any ads).

Some banner ads have viruses in them that can download all sorts of things to your computer. ZoneAlarm Anti Virus or Security Suite will block these. Get it and install it.

One thing I've found to be a lifesaver was stopping the use of Internet Explorer altogether and switching to Firefox from Mozilla. It's free and prevents about 98% of pop-ups and "spy ware".

I used to run Ad-Aware all the time and my average for a week of surfing the net was about 30-70 items found. After switching to Firefox I have gone up to 2 months without using Ad-Aware and when I did had under 7 items found.

The only time I use IE now is for sites that absolutely have to have it.
