Do any of you geeks know much about the Ghost software and server?

A fellow told me that it is the best system for blocking cookies and other tracking devices.

True?

Is he referring yo Norton Ghost?

Dunno..... I'm not a geek.   He just said "Ghost" with apps even for your phone.....

He thought it was terrific.  I have never heard of it...... but that isn't to be surprising.

The only Ghost system I know of is Norton's, where it makes a complete back up of your system, so if attacked, you literally pick up from when it crashed.
Doesn't stop anything, just replaces it.

Could it be this?

Don't know, unless he's talking about the cloud.

Actually, he was probably speaking "human speak."   I am just THAT tech challenged!

Oh well, I just thought some of you guys might be familiar with it and be able to print in block letters for me ....

Oh geeezz quiller.  That is exactly what happened to me.  A flash-mob took control of my computer!!!

Eventually the entire computer had to be swept clean like a new computer.  A new system was installed.  It is foreign to me and I struggle to do basic tasks now.   aaarrrggghhhh !!!

I hate learning NEW techy stuff!

But, but, but --- being forced to use software which doesn't even come with a User Manual is GOOD for you!

Per the "Ghost" reference: it probably does refer to the Norton Ghost imaging system which copies a clean install of your hard drive, which greatly speeds up recovery after a hard drive crash or other seemingly-insurmountable problem.

Here's a place to start researching this last-ditch back-up.... The free systems may come with adware or other add-ons, so do read their Terms of Service closely.

Thanks quiller!

...... clear as mud......

You say it is GOOD for me....  I say, it is bad tasting medicine!   

I will muddle through......   

The first time I rebuilt from scratch and took about 7 hours. The second time, four. That was BEFORE I took a look at imaging.

Time and hassle to rebuild from scratch can be sliced to a fraction.

You are talking to someone who could not even figure out the "quote" function on this forum without step by step help from Walkstall !!   I'm hopeless !

Imaging has saved my butt more then once.
