TEXT ONLY: Pornography Bypass & System Speedups Ok, now that that's out of the way, i am going to show you tid bits of what is going on. The first way not to be emailed pornography, is to NEVER give out your real email address. That means, Never submit it to places. (News groups, companies, people, Ect). So, how should you submit? Well, I suggest getting a FREE email account, like Yahoo, and then using it to submit so you can get your email. This way, if there's too much junk mail coming in through there, then just delete it. Also, if you travel, you can then download your personal messages WITHOUT worrying about having unwanted junk and pornography messages. (Trust me, they get annoying) Now, Beyond this, you will probably STILL get the messages, but not in your personal account.. how do you bypass this? Well, i don't know about Netscape, but if they have a filtering, it will work on that too. Same for the other ones, Filter out the following areas. (before deleteing everything, do a quick scan to see if you recodnize any names that you know in your deleted items, before permenently deleting them or you might miss an old friend that is just saying 'hi, how are you doing' kind of thing.) If your filter system has a bit of 'This' AND 'this' or 'This that' without 'there' then the filtering could be more powerful, and would not delete the important messages you want to keep.. Also, if you have all the junk coming through your FREE account (annonymous?) Then, it would be a good idea to have in all the fields that say 'TO' or 'RECIEVER' or something that says YOU are the person getting the mail, set it to your free account, so most other problems will be ignored. Ok, Next, the list. I have composed this list, and it's not complete but it has gotten a good chunk of the junk off, if you have a pattern develope that includes certain words (Amature, CUM, waiting for) Ect, then add those to your filter list, it will be quite complete soon enough.. But this won't get rid of them all, only what patters we have noticed, the obvious ones, and the somewhat sneaky ones, until they decide to stop their stupid work (which they won't stop any time soon) DELETE LIST, with subjects Including: PORN: XXX teen girls free sex cum hardcore horny hi OTHER JUNK MAIL: sprintmail.com on anyone or debt internet investigator credit earn money casino -- This list isn't very big, but it's effective.. Over 30 messages i got, it filtered out 20 of them, only a few (which weren't really anything else i deleted manually.) Now, the rest of the part. Popup Windows? Well, that's easy to bypass. Before i proceed, i will give instructions for you to do, and other things you CAN do, but that is your choice. for IE (I don't use netscape, so i don't know) Go to Settings IE 4.X VIEW/INTERNET OPTIONS/SECURITY IE 5.X EDIT/INTERNET OPTIONS/SECURITY At this point, it has some options, select CUSTOM and then go into the Settings. This will give a list of different informations that you can activate/Deactivate. ACTIVE X: This is a set of special protocols (Kinda a scripting language?) It is what makes all the popup windows. I personally disabled all of these options, it will also disable other things, but if you can get to where you need to go, it will be fine. Recommended: DISABLE ALL Java: A scripting Language (high level) that is more secure, and works on ALL emulators (supposably). It is nice, it is suppost to use only it's own resources. But it takes a lot of memory and time to run the scripts. They are good for simple programs, Chat, internet games, and the like, as long as nothing has to be saved. Recommended: High Safety Scripting: This is a quick made scripting language, i think it's a lot like Visual basic, and CAN take control if you let it. It works as a regular program on the computer and is one of the primary bugs in some of the EMAIL viruses. Disable this, and all those problems are gone (Since EXPRESS uses IE settings, except for the 'preview pictures') Recommended: DISABLE ALL This is just a guide, don't worry. If you have questions, look it up in the manual, or write me, or microsoft. I will help however i can.. Speedups: Ok, now for a few speedups. One of the primary parts of the internet is pictures, and making things look nice, but i have seen a single picture, was made with 30 pictures, each a part of the larger piece, so does this make all the pictures a little smaller? I don't have a clue. But here's a bit on it all. IE 4.X VIEW/INTERNET OPTIONS/ADVANCED IE 5.X EDIT/INTERNET OPTIONS/ADVANCED Notify when download's Complete: This is a silly option. It won't close the file or program until you click OK, and then it's gone. Disable this, and you won't get the popup when it's complete. MultiMedia: A nice set if options, i suggest you set it up this way. Show Pictures :OFF Play animations:ON Play Videos :OFF Play sounds :OFF Smart Dithering:ON Ok, here's why, If the show pictures is OFF, then it won't automatically show the pictures. Don't skip out already!! When the pictures aren't loaded, they aren't saved.. saving you LOTS of space, and LOTS of downloading time. this is a MAJOR speedup on the internet. Why did i put Animations on and pictures off? well, that enabled will show animated GIF's, and play them, otherwise their first picture is shown, and then locked. (boring at times, but useful..) Play Videos & Play Sounds: These ALSO use a lot of space and take time. With these off, you won't have to wait, only the actual page (with text) will load, and it is then easy. Smart Dithering: THIS is a small slower algorythmn. It takes a picture, and translates it to your current 256 pattlete. Or.. Makes the picture look ok on lower color resolutions. Cookies: I HIGHLY suggest you disable this, unless you absolutely have to. It will allow ANY and ALL sites to access the cookies, which are a little window to your computer and your life. Anything you looked up before is in there, anything you do, anyone you talk to, information you pass on, is hidden there. If you have cookies on, CLEAN YOUR TEMPORARY FILES ONCE A WEEK.. This is a simple way to keep information from being too much, and too open. That's it, if there is anything else i will tell you later.
