  • How we prevent email links to be considered as 'Click-Through'

    I have a link in the email that goes to a page Web Eloqua followed. The link itself is not followed. When I click the link it registered it as a 'click Through '. I can see that in the activity of lead as a "Click-Through".

    I need a solution that prevents the mentioned link to be considered as 'Clicks' in lead activity above.

    Hello

    One thing you can try is to use a Shortener to link to the middle like Bit.ly. You can create a shortcut link that points to your last URL, then in your email, you can link to the shortened version. It breaks the continuity and as long as you have not followed is enabled for the connection, you should see is more clicks on caterpillars.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to get out the mode safe mode with msconfig.

    I'm working on my computer and need to start in safe mode. I ran the msconfig and reboot the laptop. I get to the login screen, but when I get my username and password it tells me that the user name and password is not correct. How to get out the mode safe mode with msconfig.

    When you run msconfig to get set to Safe Mode, you just activate/check the option/SafeBoot at startup. INI tab or did you do something else?

    There is some malware that if you use the/SafeBoot option, you will not be able to use your system again until you remove the switch/SafeBoot the boot.ini for you can boot normally.

    Maybe it's not your exact problem, but I will never suggest to anyone to use the option / SafeBoot never again - too risky when troubleshooting since you can always start new or will never connect again until you remove the switch/SafeBoot.

    Anywho, if that's what you have done, you can start in the XP Recovery Console and then either make a new boot.ini file containing the switch/SafeBoot or simply rename the boot.ini file, you have something like boot.ini.old if you don't have a boot.ini file (I know it seems like a weird idea).

    In a single partition configuration, XP is not even a file boot.ini to boot.  XP will complain if there is no boot.ini file, but will always start very well without one (non-believers - try it!).

    After you get booted up and logged in, you can rename boot.ini.old in boot.ini and run msconfig to remove the option/SafeBoot, and never use it again.

  • How do you get sound on safe mode if it has not told!

    How do you get sound on safe mode if it has not told? He didn't use to say! It is possible a hacker has stolen the sound and typed it is? It could have been someone who was company or seized that they work in or landed a job at the company laptop I have! phyllisfc

    Frankly I doubt that you ever had its Mode without failure.  Safe mode is a specially designed Windows state that charge only a very minimal set of very generic for devices drivers, so that you can resolve problems or solve problems that cannot be solved with the full software and driver responsible.  Sound is one of the first things that gets tossed by the window, as improved video drivers, network drivers and so on.

  • Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

    Original title: remove programs

    I think I have a virus.  I see on my computer a few applications with and installed as of 2004.  The computer was purchased in 2007.  When I run it in safe mode, it works fine and all applications have a date of 2007 or newer.  Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?

    Hello

    This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
    computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
    for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

    =============================================================

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
    the regular windows when you can.
