My computer keeps restarting?

It seems like it reboots when I start Ad Aware, but this was happening before I installed that. I know when it needs to reboot because it freezes or goes straight to BSOD. I have AdAware and Spybot, both removed a combined 62 spyware/malware. Should I download AVG or run a anti virus scan? I used Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool; it scanned and found nothing. When I install ZoneAlarm Security Suite, it reboots more often. What is going on??!!



My computer keeps restarting?computer



The problem is ur Ad Aware and that Spyware thing. i tried a spyware months ago and it corrupted 2 of my most important files. if u have downloaded it from the internet then quickly uninstall it or ur computer might malfunction.



its better u buy an antivirus CD of AVG, Norton or Avast



My computer keeps restarting?free spyware



It sounds like one of those programs need to do a scan before it will operate correctly. When the computer is loading it come to a point that it whats to do a boot scan. So as it is loading and blue screen comes on and says about hit spacebar to exit scan. Don't hit the spacebar let it do its scan. I think that these progams in the early part of its install it asked if you wanted to a boot scan when restarting you hit the ok. Well you installed the program but didnt do the boot scan. So try restarting it and do the scan that should stop it from doing the restarts. Been there done that.
That's what sometimes happens when I try installing something in my laptop, so I think your computer is infected with some kind of virus.
right click my computer, go to properties, go to advanced tab, start up and recovery settings, uncheck automatically restart and next time it restarts you will get a blue screen next time which will give you a code, usually ox000000(and then a 2 digit number) or might give u more of an explanation then you can google that error and will give you ideas as to why it keeps restarting.
If you don't have an antivirus program then yes get a program installed.

My computer is going really slow opening programs and starting up what do i do?

It also doesnt respond when I try to do more than one thing like listen to music and use the internet.



I have zonealarm internet security suite and ccleaner, i use them both but it hasnt detected anything like a virus or spyware...what should I do to troubleshoot this?



Thanks,

"It also doesnt respond when I try to do more than one thing like listen to music and use the internet"



This is an almost sure symptom of not enough RAM (memory, NOT disk space.)



If you're on XP, get *at least* one GB of RAM. I hear Vista requires at least two, but Vista is so buggy I would recommend against it.

You may have to many things on your desktop. If so delete what you dont use. If this does not work then. Or you might downloaded something thats killing your cpu. If this does not work download a new operating system.
go to control hit performance and maintnaice then clean up drive c free up space on your hard disk when done hit rearage items to make you hard disk run faster and clear all your browsing history
Ok ...open ccleaner...not to use the program just to see how much Ram you have and your processor speed ...usually if you don't have enough ram you will encounter these problems....

What's the best internet security system?

I believe that my computer may be infected with spyware. What free online downloadable software is compatable with windows XP, and is a good way to locate, and destroy spyware?



What's the best internet security system?download



I like McAfee.

Adware, windows defender, and spybot is free options for spyware removal



Antivir and Avast are good anti-virus options.



Get zonealarm for a firewall. (they have a free version)



and us a different browser like firefox and opera



firefox even has an IE plugin if you need to use IE for that site and opera has an option that makes it identify as IE.



but for your current problem download ewido from http://www.ewido.net/en/ is on a 15 day trial but this should remove majority of your malware. If not, there's Hijack this, but use when as a last resort this can f up your system if you don't know what you doing.



ps when done with you antimalware sweeps you might want to do reg clean/defrag and optimize your drive.



I deal with this everyday www.duelwave.com
'norton' best in world but 256mg ram-avgfree.is free and 100'' for me.xjust type avgfree into your search engine it'll tell you what to do from there.--p.s.-u TAKE a lot from this community with question's-if you don't GIVEback with answers-that would be selfish behavior and the point system will inevitably lose you from the system-bottom of 'guidelines' think you shud look again maybe-i tell u cos i like the humour in your one answer-hope to see some more b4 u gone.x

My computer can't load my profile?

i have windows xp and at the welcome screen it says it can't load my profile for either not having the security rights or corrupt profile. this happened out of nowhere and i dont know how to fix it. i have to use a "temporary profile" but i want to use my own profile because it has all my documents and i don't want to lose them, also i dont know if my downloads will remain there. again i dont know how this happened and i dont know how to fix it please help

If you go on someone Else's profile, you can still view and back up your files. I recommend going on someones Else's profile and backing up all your files. Note: C:\WINDOWS\Profiles is the directory. Then delete the account and keep all the files. Lastly, make yourself a new profile! Another note: If your profile is SEVERELY corrupt, you may not even be able to view the files :(



But most likely your profile is probably missing a file or two used to load the profile. You can probably view your profile

Before you sign anything - you should verify that you can assume the leases on the building and the equipment.



Most leases have a clause prohibiting transfer. Assuming you have equal or superior personal credit to the current owners - you probably have a good chance the lender(s) will agree to allow you to assume the leases - but get that approved in writing beforehand.

Urgent computer help!?

recently (since 3 days ago or 4) i was on the internet and all was ok so idecided to shut it off to go to sleep.



on the next day i turned it on and it worked ok but when i went to the internet it was all different and i could do much things like i used to.



whenever i click on the big red "Y!" symbol or anithing else like homepage or any link under "favorites" a box with no name appears and says



"the file does not have a program assosiated with it for performing this action. Create an assosiation in the Folder Options control panel"



it has no name on the top such as "error" or something.Also everynow and then like 3o Internet Explorer webpages open up for no reason at all.I have done then virus scan and all using People Pc Internet Security Pack but nothing came up.So what do you think is wrong with it and how can i fix it?



PS the last thing i remember doing was going to Yahoo and downloading "internet explorer 7"



Urgent computer help!?hijackthis



Did you install internet explorer?



As this maybe file corruption, you could try reinstalling internet explorer but first:



This could also be spyware, remember spyware and a virus is two different things you will need a spyware remover too.



e.g. spybot search and destory



Scan anti virus, scan spayware remover and still nothing then reinstall internet explorer and try again.



If all else fails try doing a system restore, but that is another question lol.

How do you remove security toolbar 7.1?virus protection software



There's a fair chance XoftSpySE made things worse.I suggest you download AVG anti-virus(it's free). Many people here swear by it.



I suggest you also download Ad-Aware 2007 and Spybot S%26D (they鈥檙e free), install them, update them and run them. If any of the above (or any anti-malware, for that matter) doesn鈥檛 seem to be able to get rid of everything it reports finding, try running it again in Safe Mode. Safe Mode often prevents malware from protecting itself.



Also, turn off System Restore to evict any copies of bad stuff that might be lurking there.



To get into Safe Mode:



1.Log out and reboot your machine.



2.When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly.

Computer Virus .. Tracking cookie aaahhhh help :S?spyware remove



A cookie is a plain txt file that sits on your computer in a temporary folder that stores data about a browsing session. If you log into a website it generally sets a cookie to temporarily store your information so you don鈥檛 have to log in every time you change a page.



A tracking cookie is a cookie that tracks your browsing behaviors. Marketers use this data to understand how users use their partner websites and optimize their networks for the average user that visits their networks.



Some people hate cookies, claim they鈥檙e spyware, and always delete them. Personally, I鈥檓 not exactly worried about them: unless you鈥檝e shared your personal information, the tracking cookies are only going to report browsing habits which helps generate a bunch of marketing statistic.



Really, I think the only time you need to worry about cookies is when you鈥檙e on a public computer - like at school or an Internet cafe. In this instance, you should clear the cookies after you鈥檙e done so any stored information - such as login information - will not be stored on that computer.

First, PCT 1.0 was removed from newer versions of IIS (Internet Information Explorer). Therefore, it does not appear in the option list.



Second, the error message page that pops up when you can't access the secure web page has not been updated recently. Therefore you still see the instruction to enable PCT 1.0.



So, forget PCT 1.0 it is not important. What might be important is a setting in your PC Control Panel. If you are using Windows XP, go to My Computer, Control Panel, Administrative tools, Local Security Settings, Local Policies, Security Options. Go down the list to a setting called HTTP SSL. If this option is not started, you need to start it.



Once you start it, reboot your computer and try to go into the secure web site again. This may help. It helped me.

Once you get to that screen choose Safe Mode and you will be logged in as administrator. Also as stated in your last reply...turn off system restore and then remove the virus...you can also go to Symantec's Security Check site and do a scan (you'll have to install a activex control for this but it's ok) and when the scan finds any boogers..it should give info or tool on how to remove the booger you have on the puter!

Probably because you are using a different username then you did with the old drive. Log out and log in as administrator and you should be able to access them that way.
Logging in as administrator on the computer will solve the problem. Then right click the E drive %26gt; Properties%26gt;sharing and enable it.



I know this is not the perfect solution but there is something called 'taking ownership' in Windows server 2003 where an admin can take ownership and set what security users can access it. I don't seem to find it in Windows XP.
Are you sure your hard disk is okay and is not corrupted? sometimes there might be bad sectors which may cause this kinda problem.



If you don't, I guess logging in as admin will enable you to access, as another user has pointed out.

how can I make my computer fast?would you kindly help me free?



Www.Webtrends.ner/tools/securi...triumph



There are many possible things for you to do, but try the following ones, they may increase your speed SLIGHTLY. In case you're wanting to make it even faster, you can buy a new computer or do some overlocking, BUT bear in mind that such solution (the second one!) is really dangerous and you shouldn't ever used it.



So, try the following things:



- Erase the files you created and no longer need;



- Uninstall programs you no longer need;



- Erase unneeded files (like the ones of CHK, BAK or TMP types);



- See the "Recycle Bin", and in case there are files inside it that you no longer need, erase them for good;



- Fully run "Scandisk";



- After the steps below, run "Disk Defrag", until it completes;



- Run your antivirus (hopefully, you have one. In case you don't, there's a link below);



- Install and run an anti-spyware tool, like Windows defender (yes, the other link below).



That's all, in case you do all this, your system will probably be a little faster.

Computer problem involving many pop-up email scans? I&#039;m DESPERATE.?

When I am connected to the internet, every ten minutes or so, a "flurry" of messages pops up, saying that they have scanned and blocked an email, in such numbers that I have to disconnect from the internet just to take time to close them all. They are from our security software, I think- Symantic, I think? It does not seem to matter what website or program I'm running at the time.



Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but about three days ago, my homepage switched to Google and would not switch back to yahoo, even when I reset in in "internet options".



Has anyone ever had any similar experience, and if so, what did you do to fix it? Please, I'm DESPERATE.



(No new programs or websites have been accessed recently to my knowledge.)



Computer problem involving many pop-up email scans? I'm DESPERATE.?vincent



Your computer is now likely "owned" and is being used by the organized internet crime gangs to send out thousands of spam e mails a day without you doing a thing.



Your computer is now part of a "botnet" (I'll let you google that word).



Chances are your computer is severely infected and needs to be cleaned up. Something seems to have slipped past your Symantic anti-virus. Your Symantic is current and up-to-date with the latest virus signature definitions, isn't it???

Computer wizards, can you pls explain this to me........?

I1. f we can ping the modem and get a perfectly fine result, but cannot access modem interface, what does it meanfire walls and antivirus?



2. What are the other possibilities for this senario? Considering we typed the default gateway correctly.



3. Also, how can we temporarily disable antovirus and fire wall.



Thanks in advance guys



4.Can we set antivirus and firewalls in varying degrees of security.



Computer wizards, can you pls explain this to me........?virus protection software



Try to get Norton and it will fix all of the viruses and firewalls means you are taking caution and it could damage you computer.

You seem smart enough -- kill the antivirus and the firewall, and switch to Linux.

Computer is too slow?

even worse since installing win.ex 7 compliments of yahoo.when I start up my avast security says 6 running.have'nt got anything going but I have 6 running.could this be a part of the problem

1. get rid of all scrap files and folders, uninstal all useless programs from control panel



2. go to START----pROGRAM-----ACCESSORIES-----



--SYSTEM TOOLS------DISK CLEANUP-------DEFRAGMENTATION.



(this will take some time, let it be complete)

Because of facebooks poor security, someone keeps hacking my friends acct...how can i find out their

a computer geek coworker of a friend of mine (they dated) somehow got my friend's (girl) password, hacked the account, posted lies and mean things (like she's a "whore")...anyways, she got facebook to change the linked email and password, but somehow this guy either got the password, or got facebook to change it again...



she's talked to lawyers etc, and they said she'd have to somehow prove this guys IP is changing the facebook page, or linked to the new email adress he linked to the facebook acct...anyone know how we can find this guys IP? we've tried talking to facebook, and they won't help...The fake email was a gmail...we've tried with them, and no luck either



Because of facebooks poor security, someone keeps hacking my friends acct...how can i find out their IP addresvirus scan



If You or Your friend are no Admin at Facebook You cannot find IPs on their servers/logs.



BTW Does the suspect have a static IP? Do You know this IP?



Why? Few private ppl have/own a static IP.



IPs are dynamically allocated by the providers when You connect/dial in to the Internet. So an IP would normally just tell You the provider's name. Providers do not give Your friend info about who has had a specific IP on a specific date and time. Such info is given to police ... .



IMHO it boils down to what Your friend can do to prevent future infringements.



1.) Your friend makes sure that she has no hidden spy-ware e.g. a key logger on her PC.



2.) Your friend generates and uses a secure password for her account. E.g. Roboform A.) ships with a tool to generate secure passwords.

Hi! i have a laptop with wireless broadband. I have Norton Internet Security installed, and at the moment the tick is green and all installed programmes are working correctly. But I have a stupid yellow triangle in my taskbar, flashing away and it pops up now and again saying I have a virus/trojan/worm and then a dodgy looking box appears inviting me to click on it to download some DiskCleaner and other dodgy named anti virus software. Its a Packard Bell popup, and i dont know how to get rid of it! It also says that my internet speed is reduced and my disk performance is lowered, and that people can access my bank details etc.

Question about hard drive security.?

So I recently bought a WD external hard drive and I want to know if theres anyway I can password protect it or set it so other users of the PC cant gain access to my files and folders. And before you ask I am the administrator of my Computer.



Question about hard drive security.?viruses



You can setup access rights for every group of users. Right click on the drive symbol, click Properties and then Security settings.



But keep in mind, it works only as long as the drive is connected to that PC where you setup these access rights. If someone remove the drive from that PC and connect it to another one, all access restrictions are gone.

Why can&#039;t I UNinstall 2004 Norton Internet Security?

Very shortly after it begins to remove files, I get an uninstall error message telling me that it is unable to remove the program. I searched the Symantec support site, but it doesn't seem to offer much help. Does anyone have an idea how I can get my computer to uninstall this program? Please keep it simple. I am not a computer wiz :). Thanks.



Why can't I UNinstall 2004 Norton Internet Security?vista



Use the Norton Removal Tool from here:

Why can't I UNinstall 2004 Norton Internet Security?antispyware



What error does it give? Sometimes you need to unintall additional components (like perhaps a a newer version of liveupdate) before the main program. In other cases, you might need to be logged in as administrator to unintall (especially if that's how it was originally installed). Unfortunately, Symantec is notorious for some older products not unintalling properly- sometimes people have to manually delete the registry key and remove the folders from your hard disk, which I wouldn't advise if you're not pretty adept at such things.
you could try draggin' it 2 the recycle bin. then go 2 the recycle bin n' delete it 4evr.

Though Trend Micro is a fantastic anti-virus, however like many utilities that utilize the Microsoft Installer (MSI) it has a tendency to leave a lot of pieces around the computer.



Before doing this, also ensure that you get the Symantec Removal Utility to ensure that ALL Norton is remove. To do this, go to Google and search for "SymNRT" - Allow this utility to run, then follow my steps below:

yes, there is but it's very expensive (there's all kinds of cameras : infrared, spy, vandal proof, night vision; then there's all the extras to buy, sound recording,tapes/dvds etc.)... it'd be a good idea to get them an burglar alarm system that also supplies them with medical alert as well.... try this link(http://www.lifestation.com/) and this one(http://www.medscope.org/bandf.htm)

Should I delete aol security if I still get aol free e mail?adware remover



Yes, you can safely delete AOL software from your machine. You should however be sure that when you remove the security software from AOL you should find a replacement. This can be from your internet provider ( DSL, Cable Company ) or you can purchase a copy of some software from your local computer store ( McAfee, CA, Symantec ).



Should I delete aol security if I still get aol free e mail?antivirus protection



As long as you have security on your computer, such as anti-virus, firewall and anti-spyware, you can delete aol. You only can use one anti-virus and one firewall, but you can have 2 or 3 anti-spyware programs on your machine..Just make sure if you delete aol, that you have other security to take it's place..Good Luck..
no i do not think that would be a very good idea .you all was need to have some type of securtity on your pc so it will not get any spyware that could infect your pc .

The media player things are no fun. Once windows invited me to download a newer version! Bad. Its best to have one and leave it be. Find out from your brother if he knows what he used to run the animation first before you do anything. Believe me I had to totally redue my system from scratch because I messed up the default media player. Shockwave is somewhat different - will work independantly.

How to turn off security and updates on my PC?

I click a .pdf file and my pc is asking if I'm sure I want to open it. I just clicked it, right? Of course I want to open it! And no I don't want any updates! Even if they are already downloaded! I don't care if there are unused icons on my desktop. I want them there! Maybe I'm planning to use them someday. If not I'll delete them myself if I want to. I don't care if my computer might be at risk. Something happens I'll format. But while it's ok, may i use MY pc without answering bunch of questions I don't care about?



How to turn off security and updates on my PC?anti virus scan



To turn off security and updates, go to CONTROL PANEL, then click SECURITY CENTER. Another window opens, showing which system features are turned on or off.



Click on any feature you wish to disable. Another window opens. Then you click the appropriate disabling buttons.



Although, you wont be "bugged" anymore, you are putting you PC at a HIGH RISK, because these updates actually make your PC secure, work faster and better. I will recommend you leave these updates on. As for the desktop cleanup wizard, it simply places unused icons in a folder, it doesn't delete them. In a way, I guess it makes your desktop look a bit tidier.



All in all, I believe it's a small price to pay for keeping a healthy PC.

Computer/website related question. Pls. help!?

My husband has been unable to access a local website he needs to find work. It says internet explorer cannot display this web page. You know the typical standard message you get when you can't access a website. The weird thing is, is that a friend of his who only lives a mile away can access the same site with no problem.?? Now the question. What could it be that can keep him from accessing this page? He has already lowered his security levels and still nothing. And he knows he has the address right. His friend even emailed him the link to no avail. Please help! Thank you in advance. :)



Computer/website related question. Pls. help!?anti virus software



Do you have problems with any other sites? Is it a secure site and are you able to access any other secure sites?



Try this method (I'm assuming you're on a Windows XP or Vista PC):



Click Start %26gt; select Run %26gt; type "cmd" in the box without the quotes



A black box should now pop up. In that box, type "nslookup www.website.com" without quotes and hit enter



It should translate the site into numbers, like 69.147.114.21 (that's Yahoo's DNS address), and enter that in the address bar in Internet Explorer and see if the page loads. If that doesn't work contact your ISP.



Computer/website related question. Pls. help!?aurora



if you've done everything you could up to your modem anc cannot reach the destination, it could be them jacking around with routing tables or dns issues....never know.
