For problem 2) you need to install Anti Spyware software. there are few good free software:

1. Lavasoft Ad-Aware www.lavasoft.com
2. Spybot Searc&Destroy *www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Paid ones:

1. Spy Sweeper www.spysweeper.com

Answer to 3 and 4

Start using Mozilla Firefox. It is one of the fastest growing browser and has in built pop-up blocker. You can specify the allowed sites as well.

Norton does best what it is supposed to do best i.e Virus detection and removal. Anti Spyware software focus themselves exclusively to Spyware and Adware problems.

:arrow: SMTP nd POP settings will be provided to u by ur ISP...or incase u have a gmail acount then they have excellent step by step info to create POP mail acount in outlook...PS...yahoo dont provide POP access free of cost!!

:arrow: to block dialers nd shit stuff...use adaware,spybot at regular basis,nd MOST IMPORTANT UPDATE ADAWARE ND SPYBOT REFERENCE FILES REGULARLY,every other day u'll find a new reference file...they r useless if they r old...install google toolbar,it has inbuilt pop-up blocker...nd BEST of all....dont CLICK on ny window that says that ur gonna be a millionaire with just one click!!!!...i.e use internet with caution!!! :wink:

:arrow: best i have used is google toolbar,since i google a lot..ie.e searching is too common for me then having a toolbar is a must!

:arrow: how much RAM u have...hanging of IE is due to low RAM...nd which OS ru using...try repairing IE,if it doesn't work try reinstalling IE.
clear ur temp IE files regulary,clear history,clear SSL state,clear forms/passwds...do msconfig nd remove startup unwanted stuff....will free up memory a lot!

do inform if it worked!! :mrgreen:[/b]

i'm a novice with email clients, i dont use them much, but here r some tips that worked for me.
for ur first question, let us take MS Outlook
start outlook, go to Tools>E-Mail Accounts>
in the window that pops, select Add a new e-mail account.
here, select the type of account (pop3 - for accounts like spymac, gmail, imap - for accounts like fastmail.fm, http - for mails like hotmail)
next, fill in the account details. for incoming and outgoing server settings, u will have to check the website for details. its usually mail.website.com (eg. mail.spymac.com, mail.fastmail.fm) or pop.website.com (for gmail, its pop.gmail.com)
for outgoing server, its usually smtp.website.com

for ur second question, just do this: download spybot snd and javacoolsoft spywareblaster and install both of them...its THE best combination. spywareblaster stops spywares from installing in the first place and it monitors both IE and mozilla firefox.
dont hoard ur PC with all kinds of s/w like adaware, spybot, spysweeper etc..

for ur 3rd q...i have not used a popup blocker much, coz i hardly use IE, but if u have SP2 installed, u wont need a popup blocker...for a better internet experience, just use firefox or opera.

for ur 4th q...it cud be a spyware which might have installed...run spybot and check....also, post ur hijackthis logfile here....doctor big fat bat (it_waaznt_me) will see if therez anything wrong.
but explorer crashing this often usually requires a clean install of the OS...i wud suggest u to perform a clean install.

You should use Maxthon. It will take care of all popups and ads ..And yeah .. if you suspect its spyware, then do post your HijackThis log ..

And btw .. You typed all this in Notepad na :p ...

Below is the URl for configuring your E-Mail Client

*internet.vsnl.com/mailservices/popmailsettings.htm

SMPTP server for Mumbai: 202.54.4.116
POP3 Server for Mumbai: 202.54.4.116

other servers:

*guide.vsnl.net.in/tcpip/static/dns/dns.html

Port you do not need to enter since most of the server use 25 as SMTP and POP3 is 110

The user name and password you have to provide as given by VSNL. User would usually the email name like abc if email is abc@vsnl.com

Please also check checkbox "My Server requires authentication".

I do not know about 1 Mass Mailer but this is the problem why you are getting error.

It depends for what purpose you are sending emails.

For personal use Outlook, Eudora , Pegasus are fine.

1st Mass Mailer is a mass mailing software and I do not know much about them.

One software tells me my primary DNS is 203.197.12.30

but it send emails only to 50 people

can u now help me after knowing DNS

thanks

DNS has not much to do with sending mails here. DNS is basically for resolving IP address.

You should check the error log or log of the software for reason why it is sending to only 50 people.

Since it is sending mails so configuration is correct.

thanks
it is sending to 50 emails because it is unregistered
do u know any email software that send emails without SMPT or POP settings.

You are welcome.

No email could be sent without SMTP settings. What happens is that email is transferred to the SMTP server which forward it to the recipient.

There are basically two software required for sending emails.

1. EMail client like Outlook
2. An SMTP server like VSNL. It is possible that you install a local SMTP server on your desktop. This will remove the need of an SMTP server like VSNL or other. There are many free SMTP servers

Below is a free SMTP server:

thanks

The Code 550 means that the email is invalid. Since I do not use these software so I cannot help you any further. I suggest you search on google for your requirement.
