Cleaning out cookies (but not 'ALL' == prefer to keep some, but may next have no choice)
IF.. 'Remove All' is fast enough to grab/squash this monster between cycles. ie.
Came across an UN-deletable cookie from, Guess Who ?!? ONE !!!
This one:
Website: ".support.microsoft.com"
Name: fmshb
Path: /
Expires: [blank]
Contents: A (now) 13-digit number, incrementing ~ 1/sec. No other symbols, words.
(Increments vary, not one-digit/sec but various near "1000", sometimes exactly 1000 several times in a row
-- others a few over 1000.)
Google was singularly uninformative re 'fmshb' and pooped out with any additions, like the Beast-website addy of this thing.
Any ideas whence came this spawn-of-The-Beast?
I'd settle for a removal antitoxin, but it's better to know how it was enabled to steal MY precious CPU-cycles.
Problem is ... as it's constantly altering, 'hilite + Remove' won't work, even at Yeti-whacking mouse-finger speeds.
Possible/likely? origin:
This sucker might have come about while I was looking for reasons for a Beast error on a Dell Dim. 8100, and got this message:
Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer. Restarts got Safe mode (only).
A previous 98-Lite, working install is on this Dell and error occurred after newly installed 4x256M PC600/800 RDRAM RIMMs, allegedly supposed to be installed "in matched pairs".
The 4 weren't 'paired'. And maybe only need an arbitrary swap, if That is what 98 is bitching about.
Yeah.. RDRAM didn't stay around for long, did it?
Had run memtest for several hours [0 errors] before trying to launch 98SE.
As there are n-causes of this error message, Google's matches sent me to various sites, none of which gave any useful logical triage. Possibly one of these sent the sucker, as I doubt that Beast HQ has time for games.
Natch I was surfing on the Mac, which makes this all seem peculiar. I don't even much care about the Dell's fate / subtly-bad mem, say!
It was pretty useless with 256M before and I would have just given it away if the new (rilly-cheap, used/tested?) memory had worked.
At least w/1GB you can do Something on any Linux distro.
Any hints welcomed..
