cleaning my computer
 

im starting a new account and i want to make 100% sure everything goes good. is the ccleaner and deleting the flash stuff as book says really enough to get my computer clean?

i was thinking about just getting a used laptop off craigslist or something.

Re: cleaning my computer
 

Getting another computer is unnecessary to be extra safe make another user account or get vmware.

Re: cleaning my computer
 

ok so im doing the ccleaner, also the flash thing from adobe or whatever it was and i already made another user account on the computer, i should be good then?

im also going to run a different browser than i normally did.

im just paranoid lol and dont want to have to do this again

New computer? Don't need it - make new USER ACCOUNT.

Re: cleaning my computer
 

What platform is this aimed at?

ebay or amazon?

ALL that you have said is fine. It is really fine you made a new user account ( although rsot missed reading that)).

Is your IP new as well?

Could you give some more info please. You are on the right track though

:ranger:

Re: cleaning my computer
 

Post your steps OP - seems like you're aiming at eB but true, not 100% clear.

I did not miss reading that by the way - I was aiming at Mrjame wrong info

Re: cleaning my computer
 

Sometime I didn't pass when use new user account, so I usally vmware ;)

Re: cleaning my computer
 

For ebay you use vmware?

Re: cleaning my computer
 

sorry been very busy. im referring to ebay. yes im going to change my ip within my router as the book says.

Re: cleaning my computer
 

also i have a modem question.. right now i have a modem with router, if i buy another router can i switch routers back and forth to change my ip or will the ip stay the same because i would be using them off the same modem?

Re: cleaning my computer
 

A modem/router combo may not ideal for changing IP address. Most of these can be bridged. If you are unable to bridge your modem, contact your ISP for a modem ONLY device and you can use your own router.

Re: cleaning my computer
 

i dont know what bridging is. my router is from buckeye and the modem is mine. we have recently had some net issues in my area and they said it could be my router also, i thought about taking that opportunity to go in and swap my modem out for a new one, they said i could.

Re: cleaning my computer
 

I am sure you got it backwards, so the modem is from Buckeye CableSystems?

If you change/spoof the mac address in your router and reboot the modem, do you get a new IP address?

Re: cleaning my computer
 

yes the modem belongs to buckeye and the routert i bought on my own. well when i changed my ip before i went into the settings for my router and changed a few numbers and yes it came up different when i checked it at ipburger

Re: cleaning my computer
 

That is all you need to change the IP address. Remember to log your IP addresses.
