Why does about:blank keep popping up on my computer!?
About:blank can be a devious little bugger to get rid of; because you have pop ups I suspect you may have a variant of CoolWebSearch - Superantispyware may have caught some of the infection but not all so it won't hurt to run another tool. First start by cleaning your browser cache, temp files and cookies; use Internet Explorer's own tools or download CCleaner - download the "slim" build http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds make sure IE is closed when you run CCleaner. Next, download and run CWShredder - free here http://www.filehippo.com/download_cwshre... run it and see if it solves the problem; if it doesn't, you may have to install Spybot Search & destroy and run a scan; free here http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot... As you can see from this page, it is difficult to budge About:blank sometimes http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_remove_the_about_blank_virus_from_your_computer If problems persist, download and run HijackThis http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/ post the log to a hijackthis forum such as Bleepingcomputer and wait for a geek to help http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html

Why do I keep on getting"Yahoo is not responding,recover webpage"?It is very annoying.How can I alleviate this?
There are a few things you can do which might help : Reload the page by pressing F5 on your keyboard. Make sure your browser is updated to the latest updates and has the latest version of Adobe Flash player plug-in. You can also clear the browsing history by pressing control,shift & delete together.This works for both Internet Explorer & Firefox. Try another web browser to what your using this might help. Try a different internet connection to the one your using if you have another one. You might see this sort of message on slow connections or if the page takes too long to load.It might also happen when the connection goes to Local only. Wait for it to go back to Local and Internet.If it doesn't then disconnect then reconnect the connection. You can see your connection to the bottom right of screen next the system tray. Hope that helps you,Tidus
How do I turn off the annoying Yahoo popups?
The new page is supposed to become permanent tomorrow, 11/11. If you hate it, use the feedback link at the bottom of the page, and join the boycott. I have bookmarked my email so I can access it without having to go through the homepage, and now I am using google for searches, and msn for content and features. There have been hundreds of posts by frustrated users in this category of answers alone. If all users who hate the new page would boycott it, and send a feedback to them tomorrow that says something like "homepage boycotted", or something like that, they will receive thousands of such feedbacks if everyone does so, and their usage will drop considerably, if those who boycott do so and mean it. I won't be back until they quit that obnoxious stuff.
How do I get MSN to stop popping up when I turn on my computer?
Press on Start Button and click on Control Panel after you have double clicked on there. Go to Add/Remove Hardware on the Control Panel and go to the right side of the screen and remove the MSN from your hardware. It should be installed when you are finished from your computer. It might ask you to restart your computer so you can see if the MSN will not be on your computer when you get back on.
What would Quora's homepage look like if all the questions were answered with videos?
There's already scope for this in the current visual design programme for the site. We have the little avatars under lines of text for all kinds of update following - personal and topical. A video interface for the homepage could include a line of video thumbnails under the question. That would look very Quora-ish. A mouseover event could play a preview snippet of the video like Bing Video Search does. In order to keep the thumbnails small though, the preview snippet might have to play in a floating side panel. That would break the Quora right-hand column though. You could use a pop-up the user can close for the preview, but that is not Quora-ish, and if the thumbnail had separate methods for launching a preview versus clicking through to the actual thread/clip, that would be inelegant from a user perspective. Clumsy clicks would often produce the result that the user was not intending. Quora makes a lot of use of the "stretchtext" or expandable text hypertext pattern, where clicks expand views of a comment etc., keeping the focal message in context at all times. Mousing over a thumbnail could open up a collapsed inline video preview box under the line of thumbnails. I think that's the most Quora-ish solution in my remarks so far.
Do some people still use Yahoo? And if so, why?
I still use Yahoo search engine, whenever Google do not provide me the information I am looking for.This happens very often when I need an information that is not interesting for the mass, like when I need technical information or if I need a complete overview about a topic that is not too much affected by the mass opinions and tastes.On Google, search results are heavy filtered according to how many people “appreciate” the content (i.e., how often they visit the site, how much they click on it, how much time they spend on it, …). This make the search very powerful for commercial stuff (e.g., restaurants, shops, …) or basic knowledge (e.g., translations, encyclopedic information, …), but often useless when you are looking for some technical questions (e.g., how to configure a specific device on Linux, …) where you will be pointed to the most popular site (e.g., Ubuntu forums, …) reporting the “answer” for the mass (e.g., install another distribution).Summarizing, when you search on Yahoo results are ordered mostly according to content relevance, when you search on Google results order takes into account what the mass wants. As a result, when you search on Google you will find your answer on the first page, or you will not find it at all. Moreover the answer will be biased by the mass opinions an tastes. When you search on Yahoo you may find your answer on any page or even spread on several of them, but it is unlikely that you will not find your answer or that the answer is biased.
