What Is CLASSID

[jeremiah wright]

Before you go ahead and download a registry cleaner understand why it
is necessary. As a web page loads on your system, you may be prompted
to install several ActiveX components before the page can be fully
downloaded. This is so that the browser can interpret the ActiveX
components and display them properly on the system. This only would
only occur if the controls used in the web page were not already on
the system. If you decline permission for the installation, the page
will not function properly. However, once these ActiveX controls are
on your system, you won't have to download them again, even when you
come across them on other web sites. These download clutter up the
registry over time and need to be removed with the help of some
registry shareware cleaner.
Other ID Tags
So how can the web page determine that the required ActiveX controls
are not installed on the system or not? The browser does this by
referring to the 'CLASSID' in the 'OBJECT' tag of the web page. To cut
a long explanation short, an ActiveX control is added to a web page
using theand container tags. The 'CLASSID' is unique to each ActiveX
component; it is with the 'CLASSID' that you specify which control you
are using. The Registry has a special section for CLASSID and they run
into thousands of ID's. The useless records in the Registry have to be
removes with the aid of a registry cleaner. Free PC registry cleaners
are available for download and help keep the system running smoothly.
If you were to look at a CLASSID it would look something like this:
Class ID: 99B42120-6EC7-11CF-A6C7-00AA00A47DD2....

Good; about time you did more than just waste ether with an obvious
declaration that it's "spam".
You did of course, catch the following, right?

whois for 222.209.125.88 : (e-mail address removed)
(e-mail address removed)
Using abuse net on (e-mail address removed)
abuse net sc.cninfo.net = (e-mail address removed),

Using best contacts (e-mail address removed) (e-mail address removed)

Reports to Yahoo never do any good; they are too spam friendly and have
no wish to bother with spams and never have acted on anything but the
most serious and then only e-mail types.

What exactly makes this spam? The fact that you follow the MVP line that
registry cleaners are all snake oil or that the poster provides a link to a
google search? If the later please report all links for Acronis TrueImage,
Ghost, NOD32, AVG, Ad-Aware, SpyBot S&D, PerfectDisk, HiJackThis, Nero or
any other references made to third party products that posters provide.

While I am not advocating a specific registry cleaner I am getting pretty
tired of you sending your spam reports when you really have nothing to back
it up. By the way your link in the sig line was removed as it could lead to
spam.

as if the poster or its isp care about spam reports.

what about the other 25 you have conveniently overlooked.

link removed from sig line as it may contain links to more spam.

Hi Xandros,

I didn't think it was spam at first either but when I looked at the
headers the forgeries were pretty easy to spot. I didn't report it
because I left the room and when I got back, forgot and deleted it right
away and exited OE. Can't win 'em all I guess.
Falsely reporting spam though is worse than just ignoring it, so your
point is well taken. I doubt whoever it was reported it knew much about
how to report it anyway, so even if it wasn't spam, no harm would have
been done.

Anyway ... just thought I'd let you know that I at least did look at it
and determined forgeries in the headers and involved ISPs that were
completely unrelated to the rest of the received lines, so it couldn't
have been anything but spam. But at the same time, it's not very smart
of people to be reporting posts as spam when they have little idea of
whether it really is or not. There are a couple of pretty weird minds
and attitudes on these groups. It makes one really appreciate their
professional groups.

Cheers,

Twayne

Agreed, but ...

as if the poster or its isp care about spam reports.

In reality almost all good ISPs do care about spam reports, it seems.
If sufficient numbers of people submit spam complaints about an IP on
that ISPs servers, it can result in them ending up on realtiem
blocklists and blacklists which in turn begins to eventually limit the
areas of the 'net they can reach because one one blocklister I know of
only blocklists the IP; all the rest of them block the entire range of
IPs in the block the spam sender happens to be in. So it does behoove
most ISPs to keep track when they start to get multiple complaints about
spamming from their servers whether it's done by an account holder, SQL
injection, zombifying PCs or any other method.
OTOH one person reporting spam, even over and over, won't really be
of any notice to an ISP either. They will only react when they see
multiple submissions from different people in differing areas and all
different IPs. Most have software that watches for patterns like that,
but not all. Too many depend on doing it manually and others are too
lazy to bother with spam, while still others are just plain ignorant of
how to handle it, and then there's the last group where they're making
enough money off the spammers that they just don't care.
Fortunately most do care and most have pretty good filters for your
webmail if you wish to use it. Newsgroup spam is a whole other animal,
too, which is really the gist of your comment. Everything above still
goes as true, but the sheer anonymity of the web makes it a lot harder
to be very convincing about something being an actual spam. That's why
full sets of unmunged headers are so important to any place you complain
to about spam.

what about the other 25 you have conveniently overlooked.

lol, do what they say, not what they do!

link removed from sig line as it may contain links to more spam.

Kind of a neat site, BTW; just checked it out for grins. My daughter &
sil are doing almost the same exact thing right now. For "gramps"
don'tcha know<g>. But: Don't you get a lot of spam by leaving it out
in the clear like that?

way too many items that are STOLEN from others without giving credit.

In what way could it lead to spam ?

 

[Xandros]

In what way could it lead to spam ?

Providing a link in your sig line can be considered as being unsolicited and
an attempt to drive people to a site. Therefore by definition it is spam.

But how could it *lead* to spam?

I personally see it as, at worst, a mild form of advertising.

So ms advertise with their KB`s ?

"Leading to spam" is irrelevant. Something is either spam or it isn't.
Contrary to what some think, there are various definitions, not all
acceptable, of what spam is. Unsolicited advertising meets one of the
criteria of being spam. Some could legitimately, by stretching the
definition, call it spam. There are groups where self-serving links,
whether in sigs or not, is considered spamming. IMO it's right on the
verge and should be considered spam, but I usually refrain from
complaining to their upstreams about it since it's often more a matter
of pride than intentional spam. It can lead to some long "debates" so
you might want to consider that before you jump into the fray<g>.

You can thank one of your so-called experts on this group for starting
the BS over it; not Xandros. Right now: There are two here who want to
call any link but their own spam and others are retaliating against
them.

Twayne

You'll need to expand on that question.
