You must own the domain name associated with the website. If you own the domain, contact the domain registration service you used to register the domain.

yes and actually the 'so called' "Anti-virus 2008" software is a virus desguised as an anti-virus software opens a backdoor that downloads other virus onto the system. The best thing (the only thing actually) you can do is then download the trial or buy the Norton 2008 package off their website which will fully take ALL virues out gaureenteed by me (jk). So yea..

Also, there's a virus called "ALPHA ANTIVIRUS"and my computer got it off of facebook and I had to look it up to delete it.

And again there is another virus called Antivirus7, it tellls you too give it information and to buy it but really its someone trying to take all your info. If you seem too have it on your computer i advise you too take it off. Another thing to look out for is things that are unusual.. NORTON DOES GIVE VIRUSES. Norton does not help at all and you have to pay for it which is the WORST PART OF ALL. please be carful .

I recommend FIREWALL, and more

How do you remove or get past RM Safety Net or Safety Net Plus?

Goto Google (http://www.google.co.uk) and enter: "cache:website.com", without the quotation marks, and (obviusly), changing website.com to your websites domain name (URL, Address).

For Example:

cache:facebook.com or cache:msn.com

Even if your school monitors the websites you go onto, it will appear on their screen as "www.google.com", as this is a google trick!

(Note: This will only work on 50% of websites, and certain pages don't load images!)

or

Go the start menu and click on the control panel. Then click on add/remove programs. Wait a moment and then find Rm Safety Net or Safety Net Plus. If you can't find either one of them they might be a componet of a program. Find that program and click remove. The uninstall wizard window will appear and then follow the instructions.

(Note: Most school computers will not allow you to do this unless they give you special permission!)

or

  • Uninstall it and/or delete the program file. Don't delete any shared system files though!
  • Install a proxy.
  • Go on www.spiderproxy.com or www.surfproxy.net - They have now Banned both.
  • Use the IP address. Visit www.centralops.net and ping the site. Copy the IP into the address bar with http:// in front. This will not always work. Update: centralops.net has now been banned by RM Safety Net.
  • Combine the two methods above - use the IP address method to access www.spiderproxy.com, and visit other desired websites through that proxy. You might need to get the IP addresses at home now and write them down since they blocked centralops.
  • Read more information at www.rm.com.
  • If you want to de-filter stuff go to www.yarrt.com
  • Download a free program to get past it here http://sourceforge.net/projects/rmpass
  • Download FireFox by uploading it to a host. Put it as a .jpg file and when you access it at school download it and change the extension to .exe . Then install FireFox into your User Area and open it up. Tell it to import settings from Internet Explorer then you can change them in FireFoxs internet options.
  • Also try this link, its a Proxy and it works well but YouTube will not work on this: http://64.191.70.133/go/
