Is burning activity traceable? If so, is it blockable?

If in the event one were to find a way to circument current copy-protection measures on most comnmercially available DVDs, and were shortly thereafter given a reason to do so, would this activity in any conceivable way be logged or traceable?

Is there any way to increase my computer's resistence to this sort of tracing?

Do you have any words of advice on the matter?

Is burning activity traceable? If so, is it blockable?nortan

If you are talking about copying a DVD so that you can have a backup just in case. I doubt if anyone would be too interested. However, if you are talking about making 50 copies of the newest release. Yes, I think you should be worried.

Where are you getting this software to do the copy? From an Internet site? If so, yes the people out there who have said that copying a DVD is illegal could trace you. Big question is, is it worth the risk????

As far as can someone tell that you are burning illegal DVDs??? As long as you are not on line and didn't download the software from the Internet........ Probably No.......But if you think that your friends will keep your activity secret, don't bet on it.

Landscap picture problem?

Need help. Plz its urgent......?

I have installed symantec antivirus version 10 in my pc. Today in the noon I found that there were three trojan horses which caught by auto protection. They are Trojan.pandex!inf, backdoor.trojan, and trojan.dropper. I've deleted the files containing these threats cuz they were either cleaned or quarantined. But after then also adwares are there in my pc and continuously flashing off for free scan or either for security softwares. I know that this is fake cuz before also I have encountered with these security risks but this time I don't know what to do. I have updated all the virus definition files and scanned my whole computer but nothing was found after that auto protection. Can I use norton antispyware with symantec antivirus? I know that we can use antispyware with antivirus but this symantec antivirus also catches spywares and adwares. So it can be possible that they both each other can crash my protection. It is also the fact that, that trojan is inactive, attacks afteractivation

AVG free edition Makes me "restart" everyday!!! help?

AVG does not really have a "help" section. (not that I can find) This just started to happen about three weeks ago, but now I am sick of it! Happens everyday!! I am sure I have other forms of protection on here, but I am pretty computer illiterate and relied on someone else to put it all together. It is SO bad that I am not even sure where to look to see what else I do have. But for now, I just want to stop having to shut down and re-start everyday for this darn AVG!! Thanks for your help!!

I am so jealous of you people that know all this stuff!!!! ugh!

AVG free edition Makes me "restart" everyday!!! help?norton antivirus 2007

I use AVG free antivirus every day and dont encounter this and I am sorry you are - what I recommend is to uninstall AVG completely thru add/remove programs - reboot your PC to make sure it has been completely removed - reboot again and then go get the latest AVG antivirus software and make sure all the updates are done as well to keep you computer safe from viruses

If you launch the AVG control center, you will see a button for help topics. Are you by any chance running another anti-virus program at the same time? That can cause all sorts of trouble.

PS3 Wifi Connection question?

I have a wired LAN desktop, and i was thinking of buying a wireless router so i can make my PS3 connected to the web. But if i do that, is there any way to protect the wifi with he ps3? im pretty sure ps3 cant protect a wifi connection seeing as its not really a computer.. so would it be safer if i made my computer wireless also, aso i can put some WEP or some protection on it? (By the way, i only have 1 computer)

PS3 Wifi Connection question?norton antivirus

The PS3 does WPA, which is newer and uncrackable (now), and WEP, any router will do the job, the PS3 has 802.11G so if you get a wireless-N router you wont get any of the advantages. But G has alot more range and speed than B so go with that.

Norton anti virus?spyware remove

I got rid of Norton because t was too demanding and got AVG
Go to Control Panel and go to add/remove hardware. Then find Norton and click on the remove button. That should delete it.
May be it is an Adware ??
Well either you turn them both on or you deal with the warnings. One way or the other.
Should be an option in your Norton to let it control those. Sounds like Windows is butting in on its work
Your problem is nothing to do with Antivirus software. The alerts you are recieving is from Windows XP Security.

Ok, not a problem. Just calm down and i'll tell you how to remove this trojan. Everything will be ok.

Here's what you need to do.

1st, don't waste your time with AVG, spybot, ad aware, CA, spyhunter, superantispyware, mcafee, avast, panda, kaspersky, windows defender or anything of the sort. Stay away from anything that is FREE when it comes to spyware and antivirus. There is a reason why they free. They are NOT good.

My dvd burner won't correctly read or write RW cds or dvds, but normal or burnt cd/dvds are oka

In Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 Basic, a disc will usually read as "Medium Error" and "Cannot read TOC" after attempting to burn something, but formatting the disc seems to work. CD-rw's will usually burn completely, but give me an error at the end telling me I should run Scandisk. (Running Scandisk will crash explorer or lockup the system.) DVD-rw's won't get past 3% before generating a "medium error." (Same with dvd-r's.) I know it isn't a medium error, at least not with the cd-rw's, because I formatted and burned files onto them on another computer with the same Roxio software, but when trying to read them on this laptop, Roxio labels it a medium error, and Windows declares it a corrupt or incompatible format. The cd runs fine on other computers. Also, store-bought (non-burnt) cds read fine on the laptop, as do cd-r's. Recently discovered Starforce drivers installed but I removed them. Does this seem like a copy-protection problem? Hardware? Or does the lens need to be cleaned?Thanks!

Hello.

You've gotten a lot of complicated answers. Have you tried simply going into restore to an earlier date ? Go back about 2 weeks into your restore calender and let it do it's thing. If it gets rid of the problem, don't look the gift horse in the mouth, run with it. Get your anti virus thing going again and don't screw it up the same way again (you'll do it soon enough in a different way, we all have). I hope this works for

Parental Monitoring - Reviews or Suggestions?

Recommendations?

I'm looking to install something to at least monitor, and likely block a bit, some of the computer activity from my children (ages 12 %26 8). We have 3 computers on a home network w/both Win98 (for older games) and XP. I'm seeing reviews for eBlaster, XPCSpy Pro, Cyber Patrol, CyberSitter, Guardian Monitor etc. but the more I see the more confused I get. Any insight or current experience with tools that might be helpful? The main concerns would be things like some particular "YouTube" videos, more obscure kid-centric websites (that may link to 'others' or download spyware or adware+) and what IM 'chats' are happening (email? - password protected websites like or "MySpaces"?).

Price is important and I do already run basic "Norton SystemWorks" virus protection - but does not need to be "freeware".

Parental Monitoring - Reviews or Suggestions?pc security

Best is kid education. But they or their friends will always be curious about the forbidden. You can put a few blocks in a netgear or similar wireless router. You can also set the router to send you a report of all websites visited by EVERYONE on your network in it's config. But youtube is so hard with kids - the comments are full of swearing even if the video is innocent. I don't know about the software you mentioned but there is also key capture devices for you to monitor all typing. Pretty big brother-ish but depends on how worried you are about kids. Keeping the computer in the family room was recommended to me by a police detective. Good luck.

When ever unknown problems like this occur, carryout system restore. Restore the PC 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. It is easier and mostly your problems will be solved.. If you want to know an effective procedure for system restore please visit the following site.

After successfull repairs select a standard antivirus and an anti spyware and install in your PC so that the problem does not occur again.

Which router to choose?

I have one computer connected through DSL. I have no other computers in my home to connect to yet but I want a router for the hardware firewall that it offers. I don't need bells and whistles and cost is a factor.

My questions are: Do all routers, including wired and not wired types offer firewall protection?

With cost and firewall in mind which router would you all recommend?

thanks in advance

Which router to choose?pop up blocker

Yes, all routers are hardware firewalls, and in many cases will always work better than software firewalls. I personally really like the Linksys WRT54G router. You can pick it up for under $50. What ever router you do end up going with make sure that it is a wireless router and that it uses the Wireless G frequency. All wireless routers also come with usually 4 LAN inputs so that you can use a CAT 5 cable to connect the computers through a hardwire if desired. If you purchase a router that supports wireless technology you will just be saving yourself time and money if you do ever decide to move into the wireless realm with a new computer or laptop. Good Luck!

Can anti-virus software disconnect your internet connection?trojan

ya it gets disconnected form internet bec but u have to install some other antivirus
Anti-virus software won't, but if you have a security suite, then yes the firewall can shut down your network connection as well as any peripheral devices, like printers, external hard drives and the such. Making exceptions rules in the software is the only way to make it work properly. Most programs have an allow and remember this answer or setting type wizard when they detect programs accessing the internet. I hope this helps.
I was having the same kind of connection problems a couple of weeks ago. I also use the Online protection package. Please do not turn it off. It is not causing the problem.

After extensive research, I've found out that the annoying contra-virus is some sort of rouge anti-spyware product. That really makes no sense to me, but whatever.

He left after finally admitting responsibility for loss and damage of my property while living with

During our six years relationship my property was either stolen, damage or loss while living with my male friend who called me his wife and made it know to everyone we came in contact with during our business personnal and profession relationships.

Most of the damage happen during disputes over whether I would spend the night at his place, which was most of the time, the arranging of the furnishing in his apartment, hanging with or helping a friend I met long before him, watching wrestling with him, making time for him, when we did every thing together even bath, disputes over my way of cleaning, the type of food I perfered to cook and eat or my prolong legal work on the computer until 3am.

During the dispute he would knock me down or wrestle me to the floor and at time hit me in the same way I would hit him to get him off of me. Three years after the order of protection and no sex he walked out, proclaiming his friend ship to me though I am not a child I am not that old either.
