Re: "Tikotin.com" browser hijack help!
Hooray! Hubby decided to try the suggestions in the order they were offered, and the very first one (see below) worked- thanks 1492! 1492 wrote: Download and run AdwCleaner. It targets and removes browser hijacks. Run a Scan first, then do a Clean. Followup with the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Per last couple of questions about anti-virus protection: we do have it installed, but I'm not sure this was exactly a virus. I think one of us sort of "invited it in" via one of those downloads where the fine print has the user "agreeing" to switch browsers, and that's what happened. Why the weird redirect of searches to tubechop happened, I guess we'll NEVER know. Fortunately I could get here via my bookmarks. Anyway...I think I'm good for now. RV.net saves my bacon again- thanks to all!478Views0likes0Comments"Tikotin.com" browser hijack help!
Hi, all Anybody heard of "tikotin.com'??? This thing got into our 'puter a few days ago- I'm blaming hubby LOL- and displaced our regular browsers. NOW I can't even search the web for how to get rid of it. I finally got it to "allow" me to use Chrome- my old browser- but everything I search defaults to "(find whatever) on tubechop". What the heck???? Ideas/instructions/links to help pages would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, I hope!2.5KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Well the Holidays are all over.....

Seems like this is when things went bad- doesn't sound like there was a real problem until that person enlisted you in their "dispute".580Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slab City, California Observations
Slab City bills itself as "the Last Free Place in America", which is I guess supposed to be some kind of attraction. "No gummint interference" and all that sort of thing. Funny thing is, I'm betting that once folks actually get there and see how badly it's been trashed, it makes them better appreciate the benefits provided by places where there's at least SOME sort of organized gummint!861Views0likes0CommentsRe: Beware of scammers!!!
Link to ad Wow- that IS misleading. Pics show two generators, and the "details"( click above image to read) even talk about their output AND their oil/fuel capacity. But not until the very last line does it say "Does not include generators". On the bright side, surely no one would believe that you could buy all that including gennies for the price...93Views0likes0CommentsRe: What's her name to be
Of the two choices, I like Razz. But without the matazz. Per "Nike": I get the mythology reference, but I guarantee you that EVERYONE will think you named her after the shoe. While considering the options, you'd do well to ask yourself just how many swoosh/shoe jokes you're prepared to listen to during the upcoming many years that you're going to have her.153Views0likes0Comments
