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.

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).

PLS Help My Computers have been infected by lots of trojan viruses and etc!! Spywares and Adwares!!

When i used the Pest-Capture it informed in the scan that my computer has 138 threats its a trojan viruses!!!! But i cannot destroy them because it requires a license!!! the license got a fee!! credit card! But i don't have it,,,,I need a free anti spyware virus software right NOW!!!! T_T

PLS Help My Computers have been infected by lots of trojan viruses and etc!! Spywares and Adwares!! T_T?norton 360

First off, don't trust Pest-Capture! It's a bogus program to trick you into buying it.

Download the following five programs:

1) CCleaner %26lt;www.ccleaner.com%26gt; does an excellent job cleaning up temporary internet files, cookies, temp files, recycle bin, and prefetch folder.

2) If you don't have an antivirus program, EITHER AVG %26lt;free.grisoft.com%26gt; and Avast %26lt;avast4home.com%26gt; -- only install ONE.

3) Hitman Pro %26lt;www.hitmanpro.com%26gt; will let you automatically install, update, and run in Safe Mode many of the best free and free-to-try antispyware programs all with one click, including Spybot Search %26 Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE, SpywareBlaster, Ewido, and free trials of Webroot Spysweeper and PCTools SpywareDoctor. The free version of Spybot Search %26 Destroy allows autoupdates, but Hitman Pro helps in keeping the others up to date with one click.

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.
