Yesterday I asked you if you have any problems with the banners we show on this site and I received lot´s of replies that the upper right banner is following you when you are scrolling down the site and when you are using the opera browser. I have tested it and i could solve the problem, it was really a problem with the bannercode some people mentioned. Thank you for you help! If you find any problems or bugs on the site, please let us know.

Dear Visitors,
I received some emails from some visitors, telling me that they have problems with displaying our banners on the top right.
On my place it works fine, maybe you have the same problem and you can t see the advertiment our you get an error message. Please let me know. Leave a comment. Update: Thank you for all the comments. Looks like the netshelter code has the biggest problem, i though it were the other ones. Thanks a lot for your help!!

Due to heavy bandwith peaks we had to take the files down for the moment. Stay tuned. Please read or statement and thoughts over here

Ok Peeps here's a little story I got renting a car.

One of my best and oldest mate's is getting married this Sunday the 21st of July. So I decided to hire a car and I did a quick search of the Internet and found a company called UK-Car Rental, here's their website address uk-car-rental.net.

I went on their website trying to find their terms and conditions but no luck, so I rang them up and got the info I was looking for which was how much access was to be paid on the rental car: £500 and then I book the car. At this point I was told that I could pay £10 per day extra that would reduce the access on the rental car to £75 if I had an accident but this could only be done after I had booked the car which I did but when I got the call to say the car had been reversed. Low and behold the price for the rental car had gone up from £98 to £145! WTF I thought after a little haggling I got a Golf manual instead for £90 pound with the their supercover. All I had to do was pay £75 access and pick up the car today. By the way UK-Car Rental is a booking agent for Alamo / National Car rental but when I got to Alamo / National Car rental my wife went to pay the £75 on her Visa switch card and was told because she was paying the £75 access on this card they have to do a credit check but if she had not forgotten her Barclaycard they wouldn't need to do a credit check but as luck would have it she failed the credit check and now she's banned from Alamo / National Car rental for six months cause she failed the credit check. LOL and to add insult to injury they want to charge us £20 pounds as a cancelation charge, so now I am told no rental car. It's 12.30 in the afternoon and all the major rental car companies close @ 1pm on a Saturday, but after some ringing around got a great deal from a company called AutoLinx. Big Thanks to Ian, they did me a BMW 328I for the same period as Alamo / National Car Rental and same £90. I can't say thanks enough to AutoLinx!

The point I am making is UK-Car Rental is a booking agent for Alamo / National Car rental, which is a Major car rental company in the UK / Europe and USA. They can't even be bothered to post the terms and conditions on their sites, and mislead their customers! They come out with crap they think you want to hear, so they can make a sale and treat you like morons. Yes sir the terms and conditions are on the website, where? I must be going blind cause I can't find them and yes I will be speaking to trading standards on Monday. So the next time you need to rent a car from these companies ask them if you pay by cash or Visa switch and if they credit check you. If the answer is yes - can you do that before you take my booking or better still HOW about sticking your terms and conditions on your websites? And I will send a brand new cooler of your choice to the fist person that can find the terms and conditions for the UK on any of these sites! Here's UK-Car Rental's crappy attempt @ saying they do have terms and conditions which you get after they are done with you!

Just to let you know that this update is for the SBLive! only and not the Audigy cards!

According to Creative, the new drivers resolve compatibility issues with Sound Blaster Live! products on Windows 2000 and Windows XP! that's about time.Those new drivers don't support Windows 9x. Creative should also release the same updates for the Audigy cards very soon. Note that if you choose the drivers only download it's possible to download individually Creative applications later:

25MB Download is for the Drivers Only (including AudioHQ & SurroundMixer)
50MB Download is for the Complete Drivers Package including applications.

60 Viruses Received in 1 hour Well I didn't wish to do this news post and I defiantly don't wish to point the finger, but after getting a similar email 50 times from one person (who will remain nameless for the moment) in 1 hour with an attached virus, I think it is now time to mention this. The virus is the klez virus, and I have been getting it from this one sender, once every minute. If this was not to mention, then the next time I login to collect emails (10 hours), I would have over 600 viruses sent to me. As many of our readers know, this can get very annoying and being sent so many viruses to a well know virus, I recommend it is time to do update our scanners.

In the past we have posted some homepage tools like java menue builder, html help tools, new php versions and something like this. We had quite a lot of reads on these topics and so we are thinking about to open up a special section only for homepage related topics. And we would like to ask you if you are interested in this.
I attached a poll to this post, when you click Read More you will find it on the right hand side.

For a while I have been working on an update to Sniper Tech, to introduce theme support and have created a beta version showing some of what can be expected in the next version. In this beta version I have created 4 themes which shows some of the capabilities the should be ready in the final version and I was wondering if the viewers of Warp2Search could give me some feed back of what your think. Here are the Links to the themes: Binary Theme Classic Theme Current Theme Win OS Theme Also most you are wonder why there hasn?t been much contents added. Soon I am planning on adding a Glossary of Computers Terms, which I hope you find useful, and currently contains over 200+ definitions. On a final note, I was also wondering if anyone out there would like to work with me to help develop Sniper Tech and the Glossary. If you interested and have any abilities in programming/ writing and would like to write any Tutorials, Guides, Tips, Tweaks or would like to help with the programming side of Sniper Tech, I would be very happy to hear from you @ do@warp2search.com

At first, we would like to thank all of you for the great news you guys submit to us, but there's one little problem. A lot of you guys don't log in before submitting, which causes the name to be "Anonymous". So please, next time you submit news, remember to login first, or else just put your name at the bottom of the story, we'll make sure you get the credit, instead of that "Anonymous"-guy ;-)

Keep up the good work!

Just got word that the leaked Ad Aware v.5.83 will be out official this Tuesday and the detection system may change so download @ your own risk! but in the mean time Ad-aware referencefile 029-15-06-2002 has been updated! so if you downloaded Adware last night then please update to Ad-aware referencefile (Update 2) 029-15-06-2002

Yes, it's true, we will open up an own online store.
2 months ago, Gerhard Sigwarth from GSM-International asked us, if we were interested in selling his and other products in Europe and Germany and we decided: Yes, we will.
It is a great chance for us because I lost my job 3 months ago and Peter (Rancho*) will start his studies in August.
And with the shop, we can pay our living costs and of course, this website.
We will sell GSM-International products mainly. That means high quality aluminium cases, modding equipment like glow wires, cables, psu´s - some of them not available in Europe before. We will also sell cases from Lian Li and Skyhawk at competitive prices.
Furthermore we have the chance to get all interesting products like graphics cards, latest CPU's and much more for reviewing. Please read more, your comments are welcome.

Shame on me that I forgot that!
Exactly 1 year ago, two buddies started a small and simple HTML website, content was only weblinks and some news, updated 1 times a day.
We were lucky when we had more than 2 visitors a day and now?
More than 30.000 visitors take a look at our site and every day we get more and more. I would like to thank our newsposters especially NewsFactory for your great support and your kick ass news and I would like to thank Mike Hoffmann from MikeMth.de for this kick ass server. And a special thank you goes out to YOU for all your support, suggestions, comments and for your visits. Hope to see you next year to Warp2 2nd birthday! Stay tuned!
Yours Degger* Rancho*: WooT! I really don't want to sound commercial here but I guess 'Just do it.' is what fits. Thanks to all of you and all our affiliates. Thanks to Gerhard, Mr. Wu of Lian Li and the Tweaknow team for supporting us. Hint: If you would like to be enlisted here for supporting Warp2Search on the 2nd birthday just drop me a line. Sponsoring positions are available! ;-)

Yesterday evening, between 8 - 11 pm +2 GMT, we were attacked by some people and this attack caused a serverdowntime for about 3 hours. We are checking the logfiles at the moment but we have already found some usable traces. We have contacted the german jurisdiction and it looks good to find out who these people were. Stay tuned, we keep you informed.

Just wondering if some people never heard about Antivirus software or if they simply don't use it. I receive about 60 - 100 emails daily with the W.32.Klez Worm virus included. Most of them from the webmaster account of this site, which is used for registration purposes. This worm is old enough and any virus software will detect it. Make sure to have the latest virus definitions and updates and scan the mail you receive. Best
Degger* Update: Symantec has a tool online, which removes any infection with the W32.Klez.H@mm. Run it on your computer and remove this damn beast.
Get the tool over here.

Please answer each question as best you can, and thanks again for your cooperation and your help to improve our site. Your Warp2Search Team

Not long ago Maxreboot.com unfortunately closed, but thanks to Warp2Search a sub section of that site survives and is now available here. This section is called Sniper Tech and hopes to further enrich your experience at Warp2Search. Press read more for further info or you can view the contents of this section directly, via pressing HERE or on the right under the heading Sniper Tech.

Hi there,
after our server change and a few days running I would like to know what you think about Warp2Search's new home.
Do you have any problems accessing the site, is the site fast or slow for you, did you find any bugs or problems on the site? Please let us know in our forum over here so that we can solve and fix problems you have.

The forums are updated and they are running fine now. One problem though. We have lost the user avatars, so you have to upload them again in your profile folder. Sorry for this :-( Stay tuned.

Allright Ladies and Gentleman, It looks like the site is running fine now. The www.warp2search.net domain runs fine for me but it can take some hours that other DNS servers worldwide have updated themselves and that the site is reachable from everywhere on the globe. The forums are running now, too. If you find errors please let us know and drop us a line where u discovered the error and what the error message was. Also the files are down at the moment but we are working hard on this to set them up but it can take 2 or 3 days. Also I received a lot of emails and I noticed in serveral forums that you people have missed us.
It a very good feeling for us to know that we do something right for you guys out there. Thanks for all your support you gave to us.
Also a big thanks goes out to NeoWin.Net and MaxReboot.Com for your support, help and opinions.
Allright, let´s go back to business ;-)

Here we are back !
What has happend the last days?
Well, we have left TechConnect and we have switched to an own server. On this server we want to give you an improved content and some other things will change in the near future.
We have decided to switch the server because we think, that Warp2Search is big and famous enough to run on it´s own feets. Also we have have more possibilitys to improve our site and our content.
But now it costs our own money but I think everything will work.
A big thank you goes to GSM-International for their great support .
Also I would like to thank TechConnect for their great support in the past. If you need a host for your site, write them a mail and I think, they can help you. It could be that you find some errors on the site like none working links and sql errors, we are working on this.
Also the Warp2Search.Net domain is down but it will be up in the next 48 hours. Stay tuned!

I noticed on the web that serveral big sites are presenting the GoldenHawk / Padus CDRWin 5.0 for download.
I had contact directly with GoldenHawk and the version which was released a few days ago, is NOT officially developed by GoldenHawk or Padus. The version which is floating around the web is manufactured by a third party group and NOT supported in any way by the official companys.
We are waiting for an official statement from GoldenHawk regarding this matter. We already learned from them that this version is definitely rebuild by using the CDRWin name.
Also users reports show that there are some serious issues running this software.

Yes, Í know you missed it but now it is back and running.
After our forums update I had to change the function a bit but now it is running fine.
In the block "Latest Forums Posts" you see the latest running topics in our forums.
Make sure to pay the forums a visit. There are some nice features for you when you register like:
Upload your own avatars create own polls and some other nice features.

Enjoy

It's new and we had the first trouble ;-)
After we installed the new forum we had some problems with our MySql database and so the forum was unreachable because we had an overflow in one table.
Unfortunately it was the user table and I had to drop it to solve the problem.
All userdata, who had registered after upgrading the forums have been lost :-((.
The other userdata was save so you can use your account normally.
Only the brand new users have to register again. Sorry!

We are glad to announce that we have upgraded our forums succesfully. Sporting a new sleek design adapted to the main page this is our new service for you. All previously registered users can continue posting but we advise you to delete your cookies first. New features are: New design Improved navigation Registered users can create polls Registered users can upload their own avatars Online statistics Improve search function and direct jumping between forums much more... Enter The New Warp2Search Community If you encounter any bugs or issues please leave a comment in the feedback forum or here. We may be customizing the forums over the next few days so please be patient.

Yes, it s true. The first is out.
Why it took so long?
We had some problems with the system and so I needed to sort that out before we could start. But now everything is well. What can you expect from the newsletter? Read More...

Well folks I think it's time to get this I got hacked by the pop-up story out of discussion once and for all. Many of you emailed us and also complained at TechTV that they got hacked. That is not the case! The infamous pop-up uses a cheap trick: Your harddrive content is displayed via a simple html frame. Hit read more to see how it works...

Ok, in the last weeks I received tons of emails from users, who told me, that they can't login on Warp2Search.
This problem is now fixed. I tried it with several logins and passwords and I had no problems anymore with the login.
Please try again and let me know if it works or not.
Greetings
Degger*

You surely have noticed that the site is slow and temporarily unavailable. This is due to a serious router error but the tech guys are already on it. Sorry for the inconvienience...
Rancho*

There are still open positions at the german branch of Warp2Search.
We are looking for some comitted people who have basic html experience, natural appeal to PC-Hardware, Software... news.
It would be nice if you have some english experience to transfer some of the english news to the german site. If you´re interested drop me a line here or contact me via ICQ #123841946.

What a night... I think everybody noticed that Warp2Search wasn´t available during the last hours.
Reason: I tried to update the site and our database but it didn´t work the way Iplanned. I had tested it several times on my local webserver and it worked perfect for me, but there is one guy...Murphy! Murphy's Law. So I had to upload the backup again, kill the database and I had to reinstall the database. That was not nice! ;-)
But now everything should be running fine.
If you find any kind of error, especially MySql error messages please let me know.
Thank You.
Greetings Degger*

Dear Visitors, our site will be down till 24:00 - 7:00 ECT+1 time because we get new and fast bandwith lines.

You asked for it, I made it for you.
I received several emails and I noticed some comments that our reviews are not printable.
Now I´ve added a function so that you can print the complete review. Have fun.

Hi everybody,
I have uploaded our downloads to the new file server and all links in our download archive are changed.
Please report broken links in this topic in our forum. Thank you and stay tuned!

A few days ago we hit the 2.000.000 Visitors mark, and now we want to to say hello to our 1000 registered user!
Welcome on board:
Kevnco9! Wow, 1000 users registered without any need to do so.
Thank you and stay tuned!

well further to my post on January 03 2002 as follows.

I was just thinking about seeing if I can get a free games server for Warp2Search! And maybe setting up a W2S clan. :D

well after trying a few companies and a few people I know, I've had no luck in getting a games server for warp2search. so if anyone can help in getting a games for warp2search that would be much appreciated

The final option is to set-up a Tournament were you can entry your names into heats that are run every Saturday .well that depends on how many people want to play so post your comments as to what to do? the place will be Barrysworld.com were I can book space on a Games server each week for 2 hours .

We had to cancel all our downloads at the moment because we're putting them on a new fileserver. That will take a bit of time to change our complete download archive and I have to upload about 800 MB with 128 kb upstream.
That will take a while ;-) Stay tuned, I hope our download archive will run completely tomorow. In the meantime you can check out if your download is working already. Greetings
Degger*

Just quick note:
