Thanks everyone. I will have a look at all the info tomorrow and have a go at it...

I'm so frustrated please help. Been working on my sister in laws WinVista computer for days. Her sons computer was badly infected with malware and trojans. I did a clean install of rKill, AdwCleaner, ComboFix, RootRepeal, CCleaner Malwarebytes, Spybot S&D and the full trial version of AVG. I...

Today I was sitting in Starbucks enjoying their WiFi on my laptop and this young man in his early 20's comes in and sets up his laptop with an external "Alfa" flat 3" x 2" WiFi antenna next to me. A little while later his buddy, a computer repair guy, shows up and they start talking computers...

I am the go to guy in the family and a few friends when it comes to fixing their computers. Most times running malware or virus programs is all that is needed to clean the infected PC. However at times, it is just easier to reformat the PC using the recovery partition/disks or do a clean...

NO crapware in background as far as I can tell. I uninstalled most of it right out of the box as I always do. Otherwise stock.

We have four laptops. ASUS, 2 Dell's and a Gateway. All are within between 6mo and 2yrs old running Win7 Home and all are kept updated. They all run MSE, Malwarbytes, CCleaner, Spybot SD and Super Anti Spyware. MSE of course and Malwarebytes has real time protection and the other two get run a...

I'm running Win7 with 4gb ram and I clear my temp files/cookies daily. I think I'm having Internet connectivity problems. Is there a app/sidebar for the pc on Win7 that will let me know the download/upload bandwidth on the fly while streaming video or audio? Maybe something that is attached...

I just picked up a new laptop for my daughter. I came with a Webroot Antivirus with Spy sweeper CD and I'm getting ready to set up her computer and hopefully secure it form all the nastiest I know she's gonna try to find. :eek: How good is Webroot Antispyware with Spy Sweeper vs Microsoft...

Well my daughter's computer is jacked up again. She is running WinXP Sp3. When the computer boots up, it automatically goes to the safe mode boot screen without pressing F8. You know the one that gives you the option of booting into windows normaly or one of the three safe mode options. It...

I'm looking for some fantasy digital art with black girls as warrior princesses, elves, fairies, archers, angels etc. Like the girls in this YouTube Video but with dark skinned women. Thanks

I know I can press F11 to hide the standard toolbars but then I loose my Google toolbar which I really need because I use the translate and spell check a lot. Is there any way to Auto Hide the all of the "standard toolbars" including the Google toolbar in IE9 and have them all reappear by just...

Thanks guys for your replies. I feel relieved knowing that my laptop is secure from script kiddies :D Merry Christmas...

How easy/hard hard is it for someone to hack into a laptop on a public network? I'm running Win7 and my Windows Firewall is on but I'm not running Zone Alarm. I have all my public access points set as such. I'm also running MSE but don't know if that has intrusion detection. Today I was...

Thanks... TeamViewer is working out for me so far. I just don't like the fact that I can't seem to expand my dads desktop on my screen. It only takes up about a 1/4 of my screen. Will try Logmein next time I have to deal with the in-laws computer across town. :eek:

Hi all, I need to have access to my mom and dads computer to clean it up and clear up some of the spyware issues they are having. Unfortunately they live out of state. :( They are running WinXp and I'm using Win7 but could use my daughters WinXp computers. How can I connect to their...
