I downloaded limewire on my grandparent's computer about a year ago and with everysearch it brought up dozens of resluts... I recently downloaded it on my own computer and I am lucky if I search and 2 answers pop up?? What on earth? Is there something I can do or a better p2p that I can get for free that has protection against viruses? Thanks!

Limewire makes your computer slow and gives your computer many viruses... If i were you i would switch to morpheus. Its not as confussing and gives you more sorces to get music. just go to http://morpheus.com/ to download

Hard drive transfer?

I have to computers, old one being xp 2003, new one being vista, 2008. the xp has a virus and i was wondering since i have virus protection on vista is it safe to put the old hard drive in. Or is it impossible to even put more than 1 hard drive in 1 computer.



Hard drive transfer?kawasaki



it should be safe but it cjust to check download antivir on to your xp computer



antivir is a free anti virus program



go to http://www.free-av.com/ to download it



Hard drive transfer?nortan antivirus



it's safe for vista just make sure you put everything in good place to prevent disaster. and yes a pc can hold up to 4 HDD (w/out ODD) but make sure you have a good anti-virus. if you have a network it would be easier to transfer files.
You can have as many hard disk drives as your motherboard and devices will support. Many systems have upwards of 8 drives.
yes it is possible but only if you have the right interface on your motherboard for your older drive.. for example if you old drive is IDE your new motherboard would have to have an IDE controller... most new computers use SATA as the interface for both hard drives and cd/dvd rom/writers....
no its not in possible to put the hard drive but if you have a virus, when you put the hard drive on vista the virus may corrupt vista as well. the best thing is to first fromat the hdd and then you can put it on vista
Sure it's possible, but I can't say whether it's safe or not. I've done this to remove viruses in the past, but you risk having the virus spread to the other computer if you don't know what you are doing. It depends on how good your antivirus is.



I'm afraid I can't really comment further, other than stating that you can boot into Safe Mode with Networking on the infected computer to download and install removal software to attempt getting rid of the infection.



Good luck!
You could put the XP hard drive in the Vista PC, but I'm not sure it'll help with the virus. Seems like a lot of trouble to save $15. Hope this helps...

Downloading music?

Does downloading music from software like frostwire give you viruses? Ever since I started using it, my computer has been a little slow, I ran the virus protection and it says nothing is wrong...Would it just be better to buy CDs?

There are several primary areas that could be causing your computer to run slow. The most likely reason is that Corruption within your registry keys, registry classes, and registry settings,you have too many programs running behind the scenes and your system is essentially running in circles with its internal processing.



To determine if your system is in fact running slow because of problems in your registry and temp files and then speed up your computer, you will need to run a self diagnostic program called regsitry cleaner.This program is very very useful,it can fix regsitry errors,clean registry remnant,corrupt files and temp files in a few minutes.Then give you a bran-new and high-speed computer.There are collection and comparison of top rated registry cleaner:

The second most common problem is that you have spyware/adware in your computer.Spyware/adware not only pop up ads,collect personal info,but also can hamper your computer's performance.It use system resources and slow your computer down. Detecting and removing the programs will improve system performance.

I would like to report a malicious website?

ok so I know spreading and making viruses is illegal and can



result in jail time, so I got a website and i even have the ip address that avast detected as trying to install trojan horses



on my system, this website is called www.alluc.org and it



tries to trick you saying your computer is critical and I have very



good protection and knew this was a scam so i wanted to see



what kind of virus it was trying to install and sure enough avast



blocked a trojan horse from entering my computer, I wanna



report these guys and give them a bad reputation any help



where i should report this?



I would like to report a malicious website?live update



https://www.microsoft.com/technet/securi...



I would like to report a malicious website?norten



well, besides warning other people from going to that site, another way would probably be to contact them directly and tell them about this, or maybe report this to the admin people of the server where their site is hosted so that the admin can take down their site until the trojan is removed.

POLL! Who loves Vista and who hates it!?!?!?

Personally, I can't understand why people hate it so much. I have had no problems with Vista except for compatibility issues that can easily be fixed by changing the compatibility mode in properties. Also, the only time I've had a noticeable virus on Windows was when I was on a XP computer, surfing the web with no anti-virus protection (I know, it wasn't a good idea but the computer was old and I didn't care). Also, I love Vista because it looks so good with Aero. Although, there are a few minor cons to the OP like slow startup and login times. Also, it is more of an eye candy upgrade than a function upgrade, but I expect Microsoft's next OP to have a lot more tools and functions. Ya, so do you like Windows or would you rather stay with XP? (Oh, PS I don't do much networking but my Vista PC, my mom's Vista PC and our XP PC all have a wireless network that was super easy to set up, no problems. We even share one printer) 8()

I have a Gateway desktop with an 80 gigabyte hard drive and Windows XP with a Service Pack 2 and I'm completely satisfied with it. Vista is too large and takes up too much room. I would rather use the extra room for more important stuff. I have AVG Free Edition which I downloaded myself and my Windows firewall is doing just fine. But that's just my opinion.
Microsoft Vista is starting to parallel the Ford Edsel in market acceptance. If they end of list Windows XP and try to force Vista on people, I'm moving over to Linux full time and so will about one third to one half of Microsoft's market.
vista is junk it was an "eye candy" up grade, when people choose pc's for function and compatibility which are vistas two main drawbacks, with no obvious pluses. For now we'll call it an OS, and XP is still the best, i fear buying any new gear.
First thing I do when I get a pc is change the theme to windows classic. Windows should just stick to being like it is we don't want flashy stuff in our way.
i hate it....maybe because my hard drive is weak

I have spyware on my laptop but it won't let me delete the files!?

ok, so i know i have spyware or some kinda virus on my computer because all of a sudden these files were on my desktop for some bogus 'protection' program that i never installed on my computer. and it has an icon in my task manager and keeps popping up saying 'you have spyware on your computer, click hear to download software to remove it' and it links me to some site for antivirus/antispyware software.



i found on my computer a folder w/ program files in it that match up with the stuff that has been popping up and i can't delete the files. everytime i try to, my computer says 'can not delete (file name): It is being used by another person or program. Close any programs that might be using the file and try again'



but i don't have any other programs open. i've ran my 'nortan antivirus' and anti spyware program to scan my whole computer and even the folder containing these files, but it never does anything



how can i delete these files and fix my computer? please help!



I have spyware on my laptop but it won't let me delete the files!?malware



Let me guess... it's it VirusHeat or NetProject?



Has a little icon come on down in the toorbar near the clock?



Looks like a "norton" shield icon kinda?



Gotta ask...



PS.. btw if it is what I think it is.... Norton and macAfee, forget it won't take it off.

NTNDIS file found, should i delete it?

ok after doing some research ive decided that maybe it is a virus, ive deleted it but i saved the file on a usb drive just incase it isnt infected or my computer needs it, my usb flashdrive has anitivirus protection though, but my answer is, should it be deleted or should i put it back on, how do i know this will really help my computer or not? ive tried deleting the file by locating my hkey_local_machine folder, but a lot of the procedures i dont seem to have the same folders available so i dont know if it is even completely gone from my system. HELP!
