Question about incorrect date on pc and software expiration dates...?

After my ex and I split, he kept my computer which is a Dell, purchased in 2004. Once divorce was final I got my computer back - sabotaged. It came back loaded with worms and viruses. Also, the date was wrong - behind by two years! I restored the computer to its original settings - like it came out of the box and started over. Then I subscribed to and installed virus protection, firewall, spam filter, etc. After some time and money and lots of effort, I think I have everything cleaned up and things are running fine. My problem is the date is still messed up. I know how to change it, but everytime I do, my current subscriptions instantly become expired because they think two years have magically passed. Is there anything I can do about this, or just live with it?

Live with it or wipe the machine down and reinstall. Just reinstalling the apps very rarely works as they leave a marker behind in the registry to cover such things as reinstalls.

If they are valid copies of the software you may fire a note off to their support people and see what they say. They maybe able to help you out.

Problems with Embarq?

My problem is that eversince Embarq(Sprint) made us switch from using Earthlink as an virus protection center and made us start using something called Embarq online security my computer has been running really slow so can somebody please tell me why

Problems with Embarq?norton internet security

Embarq is no longer Sprint. Embarq was spun off of Sprint into its own company. Losing the Earthlink security was a by- product of Embarq ending its relationship with Earthlink and beginning to use its own email service. The Embarq Online Security was created to replace losing the Earthlink security but it is by no means forced onto your computer. It is a very system intensive resource and if it's causing your system to run slow then you just don't have the memory and RAM on your computer to run it. I recommend these programs. One is to protect against viruses and the other for spyware. They will take up less room and still do the job.

Problems with Embarq?spyware remove

When you installed the Embarq Online Security program did you first uninstall any other antivirus/antispyware/firewall program? If so you should probably uninstall the Embarq software and also uninstall your antivirus/antispyware/firewall software. Then you can either reinstall the Embarq software or do what I did and use AVG Antivirus free, Zonealarm free version and Lavasoft Adaware SE free.

I never use the software that the internet provider gives me because it is usually buggy. The exception was back when I had AOL dialup and I had to install the software.

Hope this helps . If all else fails call Emarq but I hear they aren't that good on support. My neighbor called them and they didn't help her I had to go down there and fix it.

Problems w/my wireless LAN...?

I have a laptop that has a wireless card in it. My landlord set up a wireless LAN for the house. I had to restore my computer, but now I can't use the LAN. It connects to it (I had to enter the network key the first time). It automatically connects and says the connection is excellent. However, my internet explorer won't work. I took my laptop to school and it works fine with the school's wireless connection. Also, there is a school by where I live w/wireless that I can connect to, but my own wireless won't work. If the connection is excellent, why won't explorer work? I have windows XP. I haven't installed any additional protection because I haven't even got my explorer running again. The computer has a firewall built-in but it doesn't even help when I turn it off. Any suggestions?

Are you sure that the Internet connection is working? Can anyone else get online?
What鈥檚 landlord's router brand and model? What鈥檚 your signal strength and noise? If distance could be a factor try changing channels in router to higher frequency (number). It could also be interaction from some electrical device. Beside see this:

Virtual PC protects you from viruses/spyware?

Hey guys.

If i run a program that contain viruses/spywares in Virual PC, would my host computer be COMPLETELY safe from those same viruses/spyware? If i would not be COMPLETELY safe, would i be REASONABLY safe? Meaning, if i do get a virus/spyware in my virtual OS, are the chances high such that the virus/spyware was programmed to be transfer from a virtual to a host OS? I naturally assume that it's very hard (but not impossible!) to write a program that will bypass the protection layer of virtualization software (eg: virtual pc, vmware).

Sorry for the caps.

Virtual PC protects you from viruses/spyware?panda

even programs such as virtual pc contain software 'bridges' to connect to the operating system and the internet 'outside' of the virtual machine.

*most* viruses aren't as sophisticated or clever as people may think, their actions are fairly predictable so if they end up in a virtual machine which hasn't had outlook express or programs like limewire installed they will be crippled and unable to spread in their usual way.

if you're planning on setting up a virtual machine with an internet connection and file sharing programs and such you're increasing the chances that a virus can prosper by getting itself back out onto the internet.

the advantage of a setup like that is that you can just delete a virtual machine and replace it from a backup withou worrying.

virus and spyware protection doesnt work 100%

even if you have them sometimes you can leak some sort of spyware or virus into your comp
if you have a virus/spyware/trojans/mailware .

restart pc enter pc in safemode . use ur antivirus%26 antispyware to scan pc this way it will do a more deep scan .than in windows mode

and the virus/spyware can be removed
No, if your Virtual HD is on your Host HD You are at risk
