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...

I finally got my daughters computer all formated and updated with all the latest Virus/Malware software, openDNS, other productivity software and utilities installed. It is in pristine condition right now. :) Before I let her loose on it, :eek: I need to create a set of recovery disks on CD...

In my previous post I mentioned that my 13 yo surfs the Internet playing kid games and logging on various music sites. She seems to want to click on every popup and offer. She also does free ringtone downloads on line to her phone. Especially annoying are the fake virus malware sites that...

I have a 13 yo daughter that just seems to want to click on every kind of offer and popup. She also likes to surf on all kinds of music sites and on line kid game sites. She is still running Win Xp home and we have AVG, Malwarebytes and Superantispyware installed. I ask her to run and update...

Thanks dr.stevil. :) Used keytweak and have volume mapped to PgUp, PgDn and End and it works great. Still wondering if there is any way to use the right side slider portion on my touch pad to control the volume? That would be too cool! Tom

Hi all, I have a Asus G-51 laptop and the only way I can currently control the volume is either in the windows program like iTunes with the mouse or with the hotkey Fn + F10 for Mute, Fn + F11 for Vol Down and Fn + F12 for Vol Up. I would like to be able to control the volume with just...

My son just purchased the new MacBook Pro with a i7 processor for his part time videography business. He's telling me that the CPU temp is 185*F or 85*C yet the heatsink temp is 129*F or 54*C when he's editing HD video on a formica desk in 72*F environment. The 185*F/85*C CPU temp seems to be...

Is there any way to prevent the Canon MP990 All-In-One printer from cleaning all the ink cartridges every time I turn it on and after printing only a few pages? About a month ago I purchased a Canon MP990 all in one printer to replace my Canon MP600 all in one. I purchased the printer for...

This is a question for those of you who have gotten the Win7 upgrade disc and driver disc from Asus... Did any of you do a clean install and do you think if I format my current Vista, install WinXP first so I can dual boot, then install the Asus Win7 disc ill have issues? I'd hate to have...

Okay I have my Asus G51 still running Vista. I have Windows XP Pro and my Win 7 upgrade CD and Asus Drivers CD that I recently got from Asus in hand... I want to install XP and then Win7 as a dual boot system. The reason is that most of my older games will not run in compatibility mode. I...

arr4ws, I think you are misunderstanding my original post. I own the ASUS G51Vx-X3A.... I saw in your original post that the one you are looking at has a Blu-ray combo drive in the specs. I know there are many different configurations out there. I am asking the ones who have the G51 with...

Sorry, I was just going by the specs that arr4ws wrote:

I've looked on line and BB and CompUSA but haven't found portable speakers for my laptop that have a USB input AND a phono input like most speakers. Some USB speakers also have a mini headphone out but not input. Anyone know of portable speakers with both? I don't like wires sticking out of...

Looking for some Help... Never worked with Vista only XP Pro. I've installed XP over a dozen times over the years. I just purchased a ASUS G51 laptop from the Egg with Vista 64 Home Premium installed. I went through the setup and did the windows update two days ago. First, the updates...

What is the best and cheapest way to transfer all my data ~120Gb (iTunes, movies, lots of pictures, documents, etc...) from on shared laptop to another? Thanks, Tom

Forgot to get something yesterday. How many times can you take advantage of the Bing 10% offer? BTW, still haven't got any confirmation email from Bing about my cash back. :eek:

Last night was the first time I shopped with Newegg going through Bing to get a discount. I think I did everything correct Bing.com>Search Newegg>Newegg>Shop but saw no discount on the Newegg Shopping Cart. Nor did I get any other indication that I got any discount from either Newegg or Bing...

I've been looking for almost an hour now and haven't found the the online website that will give you a 2 or 3% discount at Newegg. I read about it in one of the posts a few days ago but cant find the post or the website any more. Anyone? TIA, Tom
