Open with window shows when opening hard drive?

the topic says it: i have been reading the Yahoo! Answers web and cannot find a way to settle my computer's problem. when i open a hard drive it will show the open with window, even with explore, and i either have to type the drive on the address or use Folders tab. when removable drives come instead of opening the drive it went to search. please guys help me, I am very irritated as I met a simpler situation last time, rather than this that lasted long.



my computer is free of spyware, and had it scanned with Norton Internet Security, AVG, and Avast Antiviruses.



Open with window shows when opening hard drive?antivirus scan



Read this all cause certain steps may be skipped Try This To Preven That. When It Say Open With Click Selecty Program From List Then Browse. Go To c:/windows And Select explorer.exe The Use For Allways Use This For Selected Files Let Me KNow If This Works



Open with window shows when opening hard drive?computer security



I have the same problem, however, I can't not select "Always use this" option. Report It

Why is it that when I install 2 security applications in the same computer, both don't work?

Iv'e installed Zonealarm Firewall, and use the free Norton Spyware Scan that comes with the Yahoo Toolbar.



They are 2 completely different types of security, but why is it that when both of them are installed, neither work? I uninstalled both of them, and tried one at a time, and they work properly then.



I'm going to install the full Norton Antivirus, and I need it to work.



Why is it that when I install 2 security applications in the same computer, both don't work?antivirus



Dont install 2 firewalls or antiviruses at the same time as this causes collisions between them and therefore causes your system to crash. Only have 1 antivirus , 1 firewall and 1 antispy . Dont use Norton , use AVG . AVG is free and does a much better job then norton .



Why is it that when I install 2 security applications in the same computer, both don't work?computer



I agree with the first answer. Only install one of any type of security application.



Keep in mind that if you are using a router for your DSL or cable broadband connection, you may have a hardware firewall. Therefore a software firewall really would be redundant and not necessary.



Good luck!
i would keep zone alarm firewall as its the best, i would assume you have the pro or security one with spyware option? if thats the case that would explain the conflict with the toolbar one.

My computer is in a perpetual state of reboot?

O.K. here is the deal. I was givin a computer and when I would go on MySpace the computer would give me a pop up error that said there was an error and then my computer would reboot itself. I ran Norton thinking I had a virus and it said my computer had none, but when I looked at Norton again I noticed it expired in 2003. I have DSL through Embarq and they have free virus, spyware, and adaware downloads so I dedcided to do these. I had to uninstall Norton and then download the Embarq programs. Well the programs loaded and then gave me a message saying I had to reboot my computer to save changes. I hit o.k. and my computer went to reboot, but never came back on. When I turn it on it starts to start up, but the minute I see the screen that shows the Windows picture it turns off and reboots itself again. Please tell me how to make this stop. I can't get anything to open, so I can't click on my computer or any thing like that. It just keeps cycling over and over.



My computer is in a perpetual state of reboot?ariel



boot from windows disk and do a repair install or Re-install

I would suggest doing a restore of your operating system. If you have the windows disc , start over.

Limewire and bearshare..?

legal? free? adware/spyware/trojans? is it compatible with a sony walkman? is it easy? what do you suggest?



Limewire and bearshare..?aurora



illegal... i suggest you try something that wont land you in the slammer or on season three of prison break!



try apple's itunes...



Limewire and bearshare..?download



I have used both. Of the two I prefer BearShare personally. When you pay the downloads work better. It's proprietary software and installs on your computer. It is easy to use. Im not sure that the program will work on the walkman. They are designed to download programs, movies, mp3's.
limewire and bearshare is legal it only comes illegal.. when you start too download the software and copyright music .. movies free of adware/spyware/trojans? no it is not soon as you start too downoload your get more then adware/spyware/trojans? you will have virus /malware if you go downloading free software ..like pc games //windows os// anitvirus /antispyware then your computer will he like a car with 4 people in it going no ware
it is LEGAL!!its music thats already bought and other people are sharing it with you, its a sharing prgram thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Dear Friend,



First of all, Limewire is Hard Spyware. It will demolish your entire computer system and throw all your personal information on share...I request you NOT TO USE LIMEWIRE AT ALL.

If you're using Internet Explorer, might wanna check your security settings. Click on "tools", "internet options", then "security" to check your internet settings. Restricted sites may not load properly. Also, call your ISP's tech support, they may be able to help as well. Maybe DNS settings are off sync.



Hope this helps!

Should i install Ubuntu or stick to Windows XP?

Hi there! i have so far gone through 4 PCs in less then a year , one of the reason is that i only download free virus/spyware , firewalls to protect them with, the other reason is that i really do allot of internet surfing everywhere and anywhere, last but not least i dont really know much about computers, anything that i do know i have learned right here, the things that i want to be able to do with the pc are= read mail (hotmail), download info from the net, download movies/clips,buy and sell on Ebay, will i be able to do those things with Ubuntu? will i be able to surf the net the way im used to with windows?My pc info is windowsXPpro verion 2002, pentium4 , cpu1.80ghz,504 gb RAM, 18 gb hard drive , thank you



Should i install Ubuntu or stick to Windows XP?avast



I hope that's 80GB, or 180GB harddrive! (Not sure if I've ever heard of a 180GB harddrive!) If you think malware,(spyware/viruses), are the culprit of you computers,(plural), demise, perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't. It may be cheap power supplies, and/or dust build-up. Dust is an electrostatic magnet! Also clogs up cooling fans for the processor, power supply, and case. I have a C: drive, and D: drive in a partioned 250GB harddrive. The operating system, and backup files, and folders are on the D: drive. The C: drive is the one that's open to surfin, programs, etc. Creates a 'sandbox' where baddies can mess with the C: drive, but are taken out, like a bad habit. Can't get 'em out? Watch me! This is on my old system, Pentium4 3.2GHz processor, 1GB of 400Mhz ,(two 'sticks' of 512MB, in dual channel configuration), DDR ram, 250GB Sata Hitachi harddrive, WinXP Pro OS,and ATI Radeon X600XT graphics card,(won't go into the rest, points moot.) Maybe I was just lucky, I don't know. I run a Pentium4 2.5GHz, 1GB of 400MHz, DDR ram,( set up as above), with a 40GB harddrive, Visiontek ATI Radeon 9250, and Ubuntu 7.10 'Gutsy Gibbon', with Compiz Fusion window manager. This is a test system to see how I like the malware free environment, the 3d desktop with desktop effects enabled, and Mozilla Firefox browser, thousands of free applications,(OpenSource), and capabilitys to see the baddies crap, like looking at a man painted red standing in a white snow covered field! Hmmm, spyware,... click,.. bye! Hmmmm,... tracking cookie,..click, bye! It's too funny! However, just like when you learned about how to do things in Winblows, the first time, you must learn again! Oh yeah, about the Linux won't run games thing! Pffft! Use Wine! Put Wine HQ in your search bar, click on...Wait, here: http://www.winehq.org/, and here:http://appdb.winehq.org/, and here:http://appdb.winehq.org I'm here right now on Ubuntu 7.10! I likes it! Point to think about. Unix was the first real computer OS. Linux was formed from it. Then Winblows came along. Looks like a child next to Linux. Take the windows manager for example! Go to YouTube, put 'Windows Aero vs Ubuntu+Beryl' in Youtube's search bar.

What is the best Internet Speeder ? That adds speed to my Internet Connection!?

Free from Spyware; Shareware or Freeware and Tested



What is the best Internet Speeder ? That adds speed to my Internet Connection!?best antivirus software



if you're on broadband, there really isn't anything that helps much.



many programs claim to help, but they just want your money.



Even on dialup, the claims of speed increase are based on caching, so unless you surf the way they think (guess) you will, it doesn't help much.



What is the best Internet Speeder ? That adds speed to my Internet Connection!?firewall



there's Google Web Accelarater



I can email you an installer
Having programs turned on that are constantly searching the internet behind the scenes can and does slow down the opening of internet pages.



I had some programs on my right task that worked like that. One of them being Webshots seemed to be a problem. I have removed all my programs so that they dont open automatically at start up. Except: my Nortons AntiVirus



For example.... best not to open Email or send files thru messengers while searching the internet.

How do i wipe out my computer?

I am ready to toss my comp out the window but thought i'd try something else first.



I have a sony laptop, not sure what year, but it has very little memory and no place to add more. I want to delete everything in it, bring it back to like new, but im not sure what i should keep, whats necessary. I know that the stuff i have put in myself i have the cds for, but what do i need to make backups of?



Also maybe if you have a good free virus/spyware scan, that may help. Most likely will have to just delete all.



Thanks,



~Cat~



How do i wipe out my computer?microsoft office



Try Avast for the anti virus and upgrade your memory you can go here http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/ to find out if you can upgrade your memory



How do i wipe out my computer?norton antivirus



Memory does not equal space. Memory is RAM and is a hardware component. You can always add more as long as you haven't already maxed out the laptop.



If you're talking about places to add files, etc, that's Hard Drive Space. You can always get a new hard drive to add more space and it'll come completely clean so you can reinstall everything.



Other than that, you should be able to boot from your Windows disc (or other OS) and reformat and reinstall everything. OR if your computer has a recovery option, try that.



Be sure, of course, to back everything up that you want either on CD's/DVD's, or a Portable Storage Unit.
Export bookmarks from explorer, export outlook email as a .pst file. Then whatever personal files you have after that.
Make a backup of what you want and that's about it.

Has anyone tried Incredmail?

I realise that you can no longer embed photos in Yahoo mail and need to send an email with photos embedded. I found a Yahoo Answer mentioning Incredimail:



http://ph.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...



Has any of you tried this and is it free of spyware?



Thanks.



Has anyone tried Incredmail?microsoft



Yes i have had Incredmail for 3 or 4 years and it is ok



you can send pictures and so on it will take the place of your



email that you got when you got your Internet connection



just make it your default if it ask or the same if you want to use the one that they gave you when you got your internet connection. Yes you can get it for free



And it don't bother your Yahoo Mail



Has anyone tried Incredmail?norton ghost



Yes, ive heard that Incredimal is very good, best thing to do is try it out..



if not, get a Windows Live Messenger Account



Kindest Regards.



Lee
yes i have its not to bad but i suggest if you have a load of photos try flick r
free version is little bit annoying cause of the adds
I actually use Incredimail Premium at the moment, I bought it a few months ago after getting used to the free version.



Yes it is completely fine and has no spyware. You just have to deal with a couple of little ads in the free version. It's definitely worth a try though.
ya that A good Feactures of Make email good

Virus removal?

l am running blueyonder full comp protection also avg free virus/spyware. avg is picking up "unknown virus exploit wmf ,which is in the vault . has anyone else heard of it and if yes how do l remove it? blueyonder didnt see it? am not a computer wiz so straight forward answers please.



Virus removal?moto guzzi



This detection covers WMF files attempting to exploit a Windows vulnerability. This can result in arbitrary code execution; meaning that any number of events may subsequently take place on a compromised system.



January 5, 2006 --



Microsoft has released a patch for the vulnerability attacked by Exploit-WMF, see: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/securit...



SO, are you keeping your Microsoft Updates Up to date? True Microsoft programmes do seem very vulnerable, but that is partly because the virus writers out there target Microsoft. IN thier defense Microsoft do issue patches and updates as these vulnerabilities are found. It is up to each user to make sure they install these patches as and when they are issued.



Virus removal?norton internet security 2008



Delete avg.Good Luck
Go here and run the online scan http://www.bitdefender.com/ it will hammer any nasties it finds



Also just to add it is important that you are not running 2 anti virus programs side by side, it can cause major problems.
http://www.computeractive.co.uk/download...
If it's in the AVG vault, delete it or empty the vault. It won't be returned to your computer, it will be removed.
go to your vault and click heel then delete it
I suggest that you try to carryout system restore to a day previous to the day when there was no virus or any problems. It may be a few weeks or months back. You have to decide the date. Detailed instructions are posted at http://fixit.in/systemrestore.html



The problem is likely to be solved. Then,You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at

Compaq presario lifespan.?

Hi, I have a compaq presario laptop, and it's recently been overheating a little more than usual and it's moving pretty slow, it's free of spyware and viruses.



I've had it about a year and a half, use it everyday.



Does anyone know the average lifespan of a laptop these days?



Compaq presario lifespan.?network security



2 to 5 years of usability for medium to high-end purposes, and up until the thing dies for websurfing, email, and typing stuff up, depending on the brand, model, and processor used.



Your processor heatsink is probably dirty, and your laptop is probably due for a reinstallation of Windows anyway. Find a take-apart guide for that laptop (Google is your friend), and use computer duster to clean out the heatsink fins. If you're comfortable with taking the heat sink off of the laptop, go ahead and replace the thermal gunk with something better (Arctic Ceramique is amazing stuff, my friend).

Best Antispyware.?

Pls let me know the best free Anti Spyware available.



Best Antispyware.?norton 2008



Actually there isnt a "Best" one product. The best solution is to run a mix of several spyware/adware removal programs. I personally use Yahoo anti-spy, spybot search and destroy, ad-aware and microsoft's windows defender (formerly anti-spy). I am an admin at a medical facility and when they complain to me about popups and other problems I install and run all four, between them all I can usually clean up everything.



Most consider Hotbar harmless, this is not the case, HOTBAR is one of the worst offenders of being adware, but because it must be installed by the user (meaning you asked for it!) they dont consider it adware.



Best Antispyware.?pop up blocker



You should try out "a squared" that is what we use...just do a search for it in yahoo, and download it
The very best antispyware is called superantispyware.
The best antispyware is only as good as the people who spy ......Buy a Apple Mac G5 and forget about virus and spyware.....
windows onelive onecare.I have been testing this all in one program the microsoft intends incorporating into windows vista and I must say it is doing a splendid job.GO TO THE MICROSOFT WEBSITE AND DOWNLOAD THE BETA VERSION.
An updated version of Norton Antivirus is best, it's not free but it'll keep your computer from crashing.
Ad-Aware SE with Yahoo! Anti-spy both are free downloads.

Annoying viruses?

my laptop has this trojan horse dropper.agent.9.AA how do i take this off? i have a free edition avg anti-virus, i also have a windows defender, and norton internet security, is that enough to protect my laptop from annoying virus and spyware? what else is out there that i can download for free and at the same time good antivirus and antispyware? can you give me some sites where i can download anti-virus and anti-spyware for free? thanks



Annoying viruses?norton antivirus 2007



Ok first thing, remove one of the anti virus you have. Either Norton or AVG. Never use 2 anti virus as they will conflict with each other.



TrojanDropper is designed to infiltrate your computer and open a conduit by which large amounts of adware and spyware can be piped to your system. TrojanDropper opens up a large security hole on your computer and is a very dangerous threat to the security of your personal and financial data. The additional adware downloaded through TrojanDropper will also generate large numbers of popup adverts.



I would suggest using this free to remove it.



http://www.superantispyware.com



It does a lot deeper scan than most.



Annoying viruses?product key



First thing, get rid of norton and either AVG or windows defender. Having multiple antiviruses running simultaneously will cause your system to be unstable, not to mention eat up unnecessary resources.



Nothing can protect you like knowing what you're doing. There is no one-hit-wonder software.



BTW, norton is bloatware. It does the job but requires a lot of unnecessary resources to do it.
GET RID OF NORTON!!!!!!!!



Also install SAS (http://www.superantispyware.com/download...



AVG should find the virus
Hi,



You should use "NoAdware".It's very effective.I don't have anymore problems with spyware,adware,Trojan or pop-up ads.Now, you can download and try it for free.Check it out here:

Personally I would replace all of that with, for example, Avira Antivirus, Spybot S%26D, and Zone Alarm - all free and with regular, free updates.



You've gone a bit over the top and it will slow your PC down.



There is no 100% protection but I would say you get 8 out of 10 for trying :-)



How much is my computer at risk?software



all this is making your computer strong and safe, but be care full that your computer will not crash as everything is working all together



the worst thing that can happen to your computer is getting really slow



Also try not to free download too many free safety software and try to buy them from quality PC shops.



You might be downloading a virus instead of protecting it or might be downloading something not use full and wastes memory.

Have fun online! Lucky...



Am i safe online this is what i use?spyware remove



You definitely have one of the better security combinations of those who ask that question :-)



The only *improvement* I can see over what you have would be to trade your Zone Alarm firewall for Comodo Firewall Pro (despite the name, it is free.) (See source for firewall ratings.)



You might want to consider adding Comodo's BOClean as an antimalware shield. I use and recommend it, but you would want to watch for possible conflicts with your CounterSpy.



But all-in-all you've done very well.

4- internet browser : is Firefox recommended?

1) Avast.



Yes, Avira's detection rate is somewhat higher, but Avast's is still very good. Also Avast scans your email and can be scheduled to do a boot-time scan, niether of which Avira can do. Also Avast has recently added antispy and rootkit detection to their free version.



I think Avast is the best all-around free antivirus and I use and recommend it.



%26gt; Avast 4 home Edition: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-...



2) Antispy: Superantispyware has been suggested, and I definitely use and recommend it, but the free version doesn't give real-time protection. That's why I team it with Comodo BOClean.

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.
The two best are: Spybot search and destroy and ad-aware.

What's the best internet security system?

I believe that my computer may be infected with spyware. What free online downloadable software is compatable with windows XP, and is a good way to locate, and destroy spyware?



What's the best internet security system?pc security



I like McAfee.



What's the best internet security system?symantic



Adware, windows defender, and spybot is free options for spyware removal



Antivir and Avast are good anti-virus options.



Get zonealarm for a firewall. (they have a free version)



and us a different browser like firefox and opera



firefox even has an IE plugin if you need to use IE for that site and opera has an option that makes it identify as IE.



but for your current problem download ewido from http://www.ewido.net/en/ is on a 15 day trial but this should remove majority of your malware. If not, there's Hijack this, but use when as a last resort this can f up your system if you don't know what you doing.



ps when done with you antimalware sweeps you might want to do reg clean/defrag and optimize your drive.



I deal with this everyday www.duelwave.com
'norton' best in world but 256mg ram-avgfree.is free and 100'' for me.xjust type avgfree into your search engine it'll tell you what to do from there.--p.s.-u TAKE a lot from this community with question's-if you don't GIVEback with answers-that would be selfish behavior and the point system will inevitably lose you from the system-bottom of 'guidelines' think you shud look again maybe-i tell u cos i like the humour in your one answer-hope to see some more b4 u gone.x

I'm trying to download more songs onto my iPhone....?

And I'm looking for a download site that meets the following criteria:



-Songs have to be in MP3/iTunes format



-NO ADWARE/MALWARE/SPYWARE whatsoever



-Free of charge on songs



I've tried LimeWire, Kazaa, and WinMX (from long ago), and they didn't work much for me. Limewire was a big pain in my rear, because I had a lot of spyware that infected my PC.

go to start



go to control panel



choose mouse



set the speed
Take a look at what apprentice says but it may be as simple as crud on the ball and contacts in the mouse take a look at the two rollers in the bottom of the mouse when you remove the ball they should have NO marks or muck on them often it only looks like a thin line on the roller but can need quite a bit of elbow grease to get it off



Good Luck R
Go to control panel and look for mouse options if you need any more help email me and irl tell you how to do it all alanmoore799@btinternet.com
Is a ball mouse, roll mouse, optical mouse, or wireless mouse?



Be more specific.



P.S. Whatever the cause is, it's not a virus.
Well, I am not a hundred percent sure this is the problem but it might be your mouse ball itself. The rollers that the ball moves might have less traction than before. Try replacing the mouse

The best file sharing network?

the network shoyld be virus,spyware etc,free.it should contain full games.the speed of download of files also should be fast.



and last but not the least it should be free. the one who gives the best answer i will give him/her full 5 points



The best file sharing network?spyware remove



Limewire is probably the best, but it isn't Virus free, you have to be careful about what you download, check for suspicious names or file sizes curiously small %26gt; 1mb for something that should be large (song, game, video) Go check it out www.Limewire.com, if your using a wireless router you will have to configure ports but thats pretty easy too! XD

I'm guessing Limewire.

Speed up my high speed internet?

I have Comcast High Speed internet, 480MB of RAM. COMpletely virus/spyware/adware free. Yet Comcast garuntees between 4 and 8 MBPS. Yet I am only getting 1376 KBPS. Is there anything thats FREE... that can make my speed increase or anything like that? Or what else can I do to make it better. (Its a cable connection.



Speed up my high speed internet?spyware remover



Well, deleting the cookies, files and clearing the history helps speed up your internet connection.



The easiest way to do so is:



1) open internet explorer



2) Click on tools-%26gt; Internet options



3)Under temporary internet files click on 'delete cookies' and on 'delete files'



4) Under history click on 'clear history'



you can also download many of the free programmes (like x-cleaner) that delete your cookies, files, cashe and history and checks your system for malware.



;)



Speed up my high speed internet?virus removal



Speed is varied upon the number of light particles being examined by the Focal Light Projector at the given time
I don't know what you are complaining about 1.3 down is pretty good. Now I have verizon I'm getting around 660 KB down that is less then 1 Mb down your getting 1.3 Mb down. With my connection I do everything including gaming and downloading mp3s and I downloaded a 4.7 gig movie within a day with my connection. You connection is kind of indepedent of you computer hardware settings. Because in realtion to a computers speed the fastest internet connection is actually very very very very slow.
sometimes unhooking the cable and putting it back helps out a lot

AVG 7.5 Ad-Aware, Zone Alarm, winpatrol...free versions at www.cnet.com windows advanced care v2 (www.iobit.com) free version, all are very good, had for a long time no problems...
Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Spybot, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
About "free stuff"....



You need to understand what "real time protection" is. None of the free programs offer this with the exception of the real time active shields in the free Microsoft Windows Defender (antispyware) program. In other words, without real time protection (which will block viruses from installing and most adware and spyware or at least present a warning for blocking) your computer will get infected first. After that, the free programs in antivirus and antispyware will allow removal after a full scan and detection. The problem with that is corruption of files or softwares - as well as the personal information already leaking (being transmitted back to cyber criminals). In severe threats in many cases your free programs will be blocked from even operating or retrieving update definitions. Paid subscriptions activate real time protection for antivirus and antispyware programs that have active shields like Webroot Spysweeper or Trend Micro Antispyware. Note that only the top sellers in antispyware actually have real time shields - the others are just scanners basically.

Do you think Norton Inernet Security 2006 is any good?

After only 3 months on a brand new computer, I got a trogan horse virus. I was on the internet and a box suddently pops up and says Windows has been infected "click here now to restore". As I'm freaking out and not paying attention to what's telling me this (I assume it's a security program in my computer) I hit the stupid button and guess what? Spot Bot puts intself on my desktop. It takes away your desktop and any ability to modify or make changes to it. I do a full Norton scan - no viruses! To make a long story stort, I get help from someone and download a bunch of FREE software that helps me scan - they find it!! Give Norton another chance before I clean it out and do another scan - STILL Norton says there's nothing. I'm no running on a bunch of software that's FREE and have no problems. I have rid myself of the virus (I hope as I know it can come back later) What helped me? AVG Free, Ad Aware, Spyware Blaster, Spybot Search %26 Destroy and Trend Micro. Was I right?

NO antivius or Spyware solution will protect you.



You have the best, but I have found several things they miss.. *course everything else except ME missed them, and I only found it by macthing up creation times of files, Ahh that spyware was a pain to remove.. but I digress....



Your safe with nothing other than windows firewall if you NEVER download .EXEcutable files.



YOUR NEVER 100% SAFE WITH ANYTHING IF YOU DOWNLOAD EXICUTABLE FILES.



Your defence is as good as it gets but its still no where near as good as an informed user *thats you =)* making educated and prudent choices about what to open on their machine.



PS. I am pleased to see you have not installed either of those crapware suites by norton or mcaffe. So much stuff gets by them, I have no clue how they stay in business charging as much as they do.... system after system I fix with them on it the spyware and rootkits just walk on in and they never see them.

How do I delete a cookie that keeps changing its filename?

I don't understand how it is doing this. I just got the free version of Spyware Doctor today and I was cleaning up a lot of the spyware it found on my computer. In my cookies folder there is one cookie named 'default@go[2]' that keeps changing its name every ten seconds or so to 'default@go[1]'. I can sit here and watch it change intermittently. Windows won't let me delete the file because it doesn't recognize the filepath (I assume because the file changed names after i clicked delete). I've tried renaming the file myself, and then deleting it. I can delete the file when I do that, but in ten seconds it reappears. This is freaking me out. Any advice on how to get this thing off my computer (or find its source so I can delete that)?



How do I delete a cookie that keeps changing its filename?cafe racer



Get SpyBot Search %26 Destroy and Ad-aware free from DOWNLOAD.com. You see, just one Anti-spyware program will cover all bases. Try Rebooting your computer into SAFE MODE, then deleting that file.



How do I delete a cookie that keeps changing its filename?free anti virus



It sounds like even if you delete it, it will reappear. I think you may need to redo your computer. Save everything first, and start the restoration process. I had the same problem a few months back, and that was the only way I fixed it. Good luck!
you got a virus - get NAV or MacAfee
IE-options-delete cookies-
That looks like a standard cookie drop. If you think it is a virus, set IE not to accept cookies and see if they show up again.

What can I do to make my computer and internet faster?

i have a windows xp... when i start my computer it takes about 4-5 minutes to get to the desktop. i have high speed internet but its not as fast as it could be... i've tried removing spyware and viruses, and i dont seem to have too many. maybe im not using a good virus remover? What can I do to make my computer faster?! And are there any good free virus and spyware scanners?



Best answer will be rewarded quickly!!



What can I do to make my computer and internet faster?computer protection



Starting Windows generally takes less time if you have very few icons on your desktop. One of my friends told me that and it significantly boosted my start-up speed.



Also, Lavasoft's Ad-Aware works very well to remove unwanted programs. It's free and is available at http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad-awar...



Going to Add/Remove Programs under Control Panel and removing programs you don't need also helps, as do Disk Cleanup and Disk Fragmenter (both under All Programs%26gt;Accesories%26gt;System Tools).



A registry cleaner such as Macecraft's (free 30-day trial at http://www.macecraft.com/downloads/) often helps, too. It worked wonders on my computer!

i have mccafee virus scan software that is now outdated (about a year old)..is it still good to clean my pc of any viruses and spyware? if not, is there a free virus and spyware cleaner available?



Virus scan software?computer repair



If it's that old it's out of date. A very good anti-virus program you can get is called AVG. They do have a fully functional free anti virus program. It updates itself and also scans your email. You can read more about it by going to the source link below. Hope this helps.



Virus scan software?free antivirus



go to http://www.download.com to find not only free antivirus programs but a slew of other useful and cool programs for free, free trial, and pay. AVG is the popular choice. your subscription to mcafee only really gives you the licensing for full use of the program.....the virus definitions should still download and install.
I have AVAST. It's pretty good (especially for a free one)



..... It's not good to continue using an expired one because the virus definitions aren't updated. Virus' are created every day and everyday you remain expired is yet another virus or two your computer can't scan and delete.
If your McCaffee subscription has expired, then it will no longer effectively detect and clean all of the viruses and spyware from your PC. Viruses are constantly being created and updated, so it is very important that you keep your virus definitions up to date.

Yahoo toolbar?

ive been having a few problems with my computer - it keeps freezing - microsoft suggested it could be spyware ect ive run everything i need to and the comp if free of ad/spyware and has no virus, microsoft also suggested running a fix for the yahoo toolbar - where can i find this? Thanks in advance Bernie



Yahoo toolbar?computer security



I had the same problem.



I don't think the new Yahoo toolbar is compatible with IE 6.



I got really piss off with Yahoo about it and I did remove it.



Just use your restore point to get everything off.



Yahoo toolbar?free spyware remobal



Sorry, I'm answering because I need the points, having spent a few this past week, asking questions about this newer version of IE.



I know my computer freezes up at least once a day, whereas it used to be fine for months on end.



The only comments I've heard that seem consistent is to un-install the new version. Fixing the Toolbar is a good suggestion, and I too wish I knew how to do it.



Sorry, I don't know of any other solution. I hope you hear something that you can use.

What are the symptoms of a hard drive going bad?

My computer is running totally slow today, yet this past week it's been perfectly fine.



I have done EVERYTHING known to man to try and fix it.



3 virus scans; found nothing



5 spyware scans; nothing



deleted system restore points to free space/delete spyware



disk cleanup



disk defragment



disk error check



restarted who knows how many times



cleaned out a lot of unwanted files to make space.



Now it's running even worse...



I think my HDD might be going bad, but I need to know what the symptoms of that are.



Basically my computer is kind of freezing up; even the mouse moves slowly and stutters. Video and audio stutter; it takes forever to start applications and programs.



What are the symptoms of a hard drive going bad?computer virus



The most popular symptom is clicking within the hard drive. It comes from the needle that reads the info going too far %26 hitting the outer casing inside. The drive can last years or even less then minutes, you never know. The best thing to do is start backing up the files from it, if you end up with a "file is corrupt" error(s), then the drive is failing.... (edit) After reading your question even more, it sounds like the problem isn't your hard drive, but your CPU getting too hot! turn the PC off (If it's not already) open the side (usually 2 screws) then carefully turn the PC on %26 see if the fan on the CPU is spinning (It's the one on the motherboard facing outword) If it's not spinning, then the fan needs to be replaced. It can also be the heat sink "goop" that needs to be on the fan when it is first installed. This can be found at any PC store, alot of times they'll just give you a little (it only takes a drop or 2) If you have to purchase either one, both are pretty cheap (Fan runs anywhere from $10 - $30 depending on the type %26 quality. The "goop" is only a couple dollars for a tube, I'm not sure...I've always had it given to me =)

Is any additional security needed....?

This is my first computer,it initially came with a 90 day Norton 2007 security that I dumped because it slowed me down.I now have the paid version AVG Internet Security 7.5.It works just fine,I like to manually scan about once every day,catching 100 or 150 cookie threats that are low priority.I also have Ad-Aware free version anti spyware.My last program is a paid version of System Mechanics,which I use to clean up files and defrag ect.Now I understand that you can have several anti-spyware programs that won't interfere with eachother.Is Spy bot %26 window washer any good?Also,is a router a good idea for protection?

I have AVG 7.5 and ad-aware. AVG has quarintined it but the little annoying pop-up is still present next to the clock. I have read all the similar questions and the p.c guy suggested spynomore but you have to pay for that and I have already got free anti-virus + spyware. How do I get rid of it for free??



Help me someone!



P.s. not noticed any bad effects from it (yet) other than annoying system alert message. Having read thru the spynomore site it says that it can be used for data fraud! If it is quarantined surely it cannot still be active?! More help and info please!!



I have a system alert which instructs me to download Anti-vermins?download



Quarentine should protect you from data fraud, so I wouldn't worry about that.



If AVG can't get rid of it completely, then it might simply be stuck on your system. You can try using another antivirus/spyware, but it may/may not work, and it will fight with AVG.



I have a system alert which instructs me to download Anti-vermins?hijackthis



just simple, you click "start menu" , chose "run", type "msconfig", and then click tab"Start up", and uncheck "HDAShCut",hkcmd,igfxpers,igfx... and other program you feel strange. After that, you log off the computer, every thing will be allright Report It

How do i protect my DSL network from been hacked or used?

i have subscribe to a DSL service and i installed it and changed the password that comes with the modem i bought.Do i need to do anything else to protect my home network?i have zonealarm firewall ,AVG free edition,and spyware terminator installed too,i still feels that someone might access my network and use it for free! so what else should i do?



How do i protect my DSL network from been hacked or used?downloads



If you are a single computer or multiple computer, I recommend using a router. If you get a wireless router, then TURN ON the Wireless Security. On each computer, you can protect it further with the simplest firewall, such as the Windows Firewall the comes with Windows XP with SP2 or the free version that comes from Zone Alarm at http://www.zonelabs.com



Good luck and Happy Computing!

I have a viruses on my computer!!! HELP!!!?ducati



All very good programs recommended and advice - however I would like to recommend one other thing - turn off System Restore before booting into safe mode and scanning.

Here is a list of products that you can try. They are all free so you may have to check for and enable updates on a regular basis as well as manually run scans.

Will these harm my computer?free adware remover



You should not have more than one antivirus program, one firewall program, and one spyware program.



Will these harm my computer?internet security 2006



Keep Ad-Aware, AVG 7.5, and Siteadvisor, Ccleaner, and youll be fine.



Just use Windows' firewall
You are adequately protected,



donot download anymore virus programs than the one you have as running more than one can cause your system to crash, the mopre spyware programs you have the better, just don't have more than one running as they tend to be resource hog's and will slow your computer down, choose the one you want to run all the time and leave the rest to do monthly manual scans with, as for ccleaner, read the instructions carefuly as you are new to this program, before doing anything with ccleaner, always ask about what you nead to do on here, the techs will help you, firewalls, one is good, two is better, three is best, though it all depends on what you are protecting and how much time you want to spend on configuring firewalls, not forgetting that they all have to be syncronized on certain programs.

Which ANTIVIRUS works best?

among norton,mcaffe and avast which antivirus prog.works best?



many people suggested me to use avast,currently i am using mcafee...which provides maximum protection against viruses..? both norton and mcafee are paid prog.and avast is free...does that affects its functionality? any other antivirus which you would like to point to?



And yeah...plz mention a good site from where i can download free adware and spyware blockers.....



what is purpose of firewall?



plz help



thnx



Which ANTIVIRUS works best?free anti virus



Personally, I use AVG, IF I am using a Windows system. Of all the ones I have used, it takes up the least amount of resources. Now if you have a super-fast system, any of the others will do well for you, depending on what you use your computer for. I solved the entire problem of virii and spyware and I don't use Windows anymore. I have since moved on to Linux (Ubuntu, SuSE, Debian, Gentoo, etc..)



Now the purpose of a firewall is to keep unwanted (and potentially harmful) internet traffic from accessing your computer. I use a firewall suite called IPCop and I have it installed on an old PC I do not use anymore. Its entire purpose is to filter out my broadband connection and olny allow what I want through. If you want to run a firewall on your computer just keep in mind that nothing you run as software along with Windows will be 100% secure. There will always be a security hole somewhere. I just prevent people from getting to my system entirely by using another.

What other programs should I download? or are there any others I should delete?

The programs I have are:



- Ad-aware 2007



- AVG 7.5



- AVG Anti- Rootkit Free



- AVG Anti- Spyware 7.5



- Ccleaner



- Mcafee Siteadvisor



- Spybot - Search and destroy



- SUPERantispyware Free edition



- ZoneAlarm Firewall



And the browsers that I use are:



- Internet explorer 7



- Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.10



Now, please tell me if there are any I should delete or if tehre are any I should add..if possible copy and psate the list and type in the ones you think should be deleted or one sthat should be added...and also tell me the link to the website I can download a program from..



thanks ;)

I need PC Help?

I have on my PC right now AVG Free Edition and Ad-Aware SE Personal. I am running Windows XP on a PC, not laptop. I would like to get PC in best shape, without paying for full editions on scanners. Can anybody give me a 'list' of things to do, programs to use, in order? Maybe daily things to do to ensure pc is fast and free of viruses, spyware, etc?



I need PC Help?free spyware remobal



-Real Time Spyware/Adware protection: Microsoft has Windows defender. It is a real time scanner for spyware and offers real time protection. It's free for genuine Windows users.



Firewall: Zone Alarm offers a free firewall, better than a windows firewall. Windows firewall only blocks inbound intrusions not outbound. Zone alarm will block both and offers to monitor your anti virus. It also monitors your outlook mail.



Others: Spybot Search and Destroy is excellent too for a manual spyware scan.



Also, have automatic updates setup for windows/microsoft updates to keep those security holes closed.



If you are really paranoid, Mozilla is nice browser versus Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer recently went an upgrade from 6.0 to 7.0. You can upgraded IE's browser but err of caution. I have seen 7.0 sometimes slow or crash a user's computer preventing access to the internet. You may want to wait until Microsoft clears up any bugs in it.

I need to convert WMA to MP3 with a program that sweeps my computer for WMA files. Any freeware you

I just got the BlackBerry Pearl 8100, and the media player doesn't support WMA files... and nearly all my files are WMA. So I need to find a free converter to change my music to MP3. There are many out there, but I can't seem to find one that will search your hard drive for the WMAs... they all seem to open up a screen that shows me my hundreds of folders, and I don't want to have to open each individual folder one by one to select the files. Do you know of a free program (without spyware, adware, etc.) that will also search your hard drive for all your WMA files first, then convert to MP3 and deposit back into the same folders as before? Does this magic exist? Thanks!



I need to convert WMA to MP3 with a program that sweeps my computer for WMA files. Any freeware you know of?free spyware



windows has a built in audio converter. I dont think any program "scans ur computer" and changes wma to mp3 because some of the windows files like ur login sound perhaps need to be wma and u dont want to change that. the built in program is called:



windows audio converter. found in the windows digital media enhancement folder in the start button.

What's my pc doing ? Any good solutions ?

It is ok on hibernate but if I reboot or turn back on from 'off' it is taking ages to log on and bring up the home page etc. Also it is running very slow at times and most of all, when I click the red cross top left to close off I get the screen saver page coming down in curtain like form, and sometimes parts of windows won't close? If I have an unwanted program running how do I get rid of it? I have gone to 'task manager' and tried to remove some high usage unwanted entries but get a box with a red cross saying I am unable to do this ??? Can anyone help? (( and dont try to send me to some free? not free type adware /spyware cleaning crap)) cos I am not a complete novice and can detect them. I already run Norton and Spybot regularly updating and do regular scans. Any good solutions please ?



What's my pc doing ? Any good solutions ?hijack this



use awc personal Free software. It has one click function to do all sort of scanning and cleaning stuff. Easy to use.



What's my pc doing ? Any good solutions ?liveupdate



Have you tried Windows Defender from Microsoft it not only removes spy-ware etc it can also check what programmes are running, tell you what they do , and disable them. It has an option to go to a website (spy net) to get further info. Also you do not mention how much ram you have got, my daughters machine has 256 meg and was quite fast when purchased but as she added more software it slowed right down. We doubled the ram to 512 and saw an immediate improvement. Hope this helps
Turn off automatic updates. This service has a mind of it's own hogging everything anytime it wants to. IT starts by itself even if it's not scheduled to. It makes your computer (at least mine) crawl to almost not moving. Just remember to turn it on once it a while to get your updates.
Rather than using Task Manager try using Process Explorer. I have been using Process Explorer for many years now because I got fed up with the limitations of Task Manager. As for the speed problem only thing I can suggest is defragmenting your drive but you've probably already done that.

I am about to F,***ING LOOSE IT!!!?

It may have more to do with the sites where you are going. If you go to some sites it must be down to view right and they use that to throw them in. Avoid them sites and the viruses they send you.
I have a pop-up blocker on my google toolbar
I have a google toolbar that blocks all mine its great
get a popupblocker from www.downloads.com search for popupblocker and you will just have to download it its completely safe

What is the best programme for making and remixing videos?

Preferably one that I can download for free without viruses/spyware/ect..



Please recommend ones that you use, and haven't messed up your computer :)



What is the best programme for making and remixing videos?house call



Actually, the only 'free' software i know that can make or mix decent videos together is windows moviemaker. But it can be upgraded to moviemaker 2 and there are some free add-ons that are cool, like the creativity pack.



But if you want professional stuff, i think adobe premiere is what you need, although it doesn't come cheap. =)



What is the best programme for making and remixing videos?matchless



Windows Media Maker
for free



only windows media maker is best %26 it is inbuilt in windows o. s. also try vedio spin - the free software by pinnacle absolutly for free.



but if u want to make video for limited period



u can tA the trialwares of paid softwares but these has limited features %26 time.



but for



professional -



there are many good softwares with many new features-



i.e.- pinnacle , ulead , adobe primere.
I use Windows Movie Maker. Comes standard with windows 200 to present (so it's FREE...). You may have to FIND it, though, as it may not be listed in ACCESSORIES. Just go to help --%26gt; create video.



Movie Maker allows sound as wav and mp3, 30 frame/sec video playback, and exports files as wva files.



For an example of a FINISHED video, check out my You Tube Video, done completely in Movie Maker.

CCleaner but be careful about what you tell it to remove and make sure you have backups.



CCleaner has a tendency to take out windows system programs.



Fortunately anything CC removes it saves as a file marked as .reg.
use the system restore, and have it restore to factory defaults, i havent used it in some time, you may need some sort of recovery disc
You can use Software Remove Master 5.0.1.2 2008



or



Ashampoo UnInstaller 3.0.0.0
program files and start deleting

Is there any recomendations?

for free and SAFE spyware program, preferably one that you have experience with. Positive experience of course.

Then



Get cc cleaner - again, loads of links online or http://mybranding.info/free.php. Run and you will now be clean.

and why cant u delete ur history after a while?



and wats a good free virus and spyware blocker?



After u delete something from ur computer where does it go?kawasaki



Full of questions are we?



After deleting (not moving to trash can) the file, it goes nowhere. Just the first bit of the data is deleted making it un-recognizable..



What do you mean how come after you close a window the history is different



You can delete your Internet History all you want.. Or what History are you talking about?



And AVG is a GREAT Anti-Virus Product, they also have Spyware stuff too



Edit:



Wow, you guys really don't know what the hell you are talking about.. "Delete" in the real terms means to bypass your recycling bin, and delete it perm. You can do this by holding down the shift key and pressing delete on a file.



Moving to the recycle bin, puts it in a repository where many files are typically waiting to be deleted :o)



After u delete something from ur computer where does it go?nortan antivirus



after delete either you file goto recycle bin or permanently delete.



history is diffrent when you remove files or open new files.



you have to closed folder/application in order to delete history.
