How in gods name do i delete trojans viruses etc?internet security software

Great Question and thank you for particpating in Yahoo's Q %26 A. You're experiencing one of the most common issues that we have with our computer today. It's unfortunate, but unless you specialize in Viruses, Trojans, Variants, Spyware, Adware, Worms etc. you'll have a hard time getting rid of all of the problems as some are very hard to deal with. Most have remnants spread all over the computer in case you find parts of them and remove them. After restarting the computer, they just come back. If this is the situation, you have two options. Either purchase a good all around Antivirus Program such as Norton Symantec or CA (Computer Associates Internet Securtity Suite "Etrust". Next option would be to remove that copy of Windows from the computer and re-install a fresh new copy. Make sure that you first disable the "restore back" function in the control panel. Failure to do this can and will problably allow some of the viruses to start back up even after the new copy of Windows is installed. Then, upon choosing and installing a good Antivirus Program, you should have no more problems. Larry (Radio Shack 01-9590)

AVG Free works the best!

It can be found at http://downloads.com

Of course it is free and quarantines viruses and Trojans and then eliminates them. Also get Spyware Doctor to remove the pesky tracking cookies we pick up here an there from time to time

Don't use Norton and McAfee they slow your computer down to a crawl.

Does windows vista's "Windows Defender" protect against viruses?

I have windows vista home basic and it comes with windows defender. Does this only protect against spyware, or does it protect against viruses too?

Does windows vista's "Windows Defender" protect against viruses?kawasaki

NO, Window Defender only protect your PC from spyware. You'll need a separate anti-virus app for protection against viruses.

It may save you from a virus or two, but it is primarily an anti-spyware. You must use a separate anti-virus as well.
It is anti-spyware only.

Who else has had problems with limewire ie:viruses or hackers?

I downloaded a file from limewire that has given my computer all sorts of viruses and hackers,have been trying to get into my computer.anyone else had problems like that?

Who else has had problems with limewire ie:viruses or hackers?spyware remover

In limewire you can avoid this type of thing, just never download the zip folders or the wma files, Only use the mp3 type files, these are stand alone and you know whats in the folder where if you download the zip folders they will unlease terror on your system, Below are some good tools to help you deal with the viruses, And be sure to use the spyware doctor because it is the best for finding malware,,

This is very good tool and I recommend it to keep your pc in good running condition,

Windows Advanced Care , This tool will keep you computer running good and you can see the startup programs to help you understand what runs in the startup programs; It also imunizes your computer against the attcks we face each time we go on the internet Just run it once a day and your worrys are much less,

http://www.download.com/Advanced-Windows...

Here is a very good tool called Winpatrol and it monitors your computer for programs that try to run on your system without your knowlege, This tool also allows you to manage all the startup programs on your computer,, It also warns you if a program tries to run without your permission, I use this software and I recommend it,

My Windows Xp is really messed up with viruses etc.. i dnt have the disc.. shall i go back to windows 98?spyware

No. You can get your key from the OS using software tools and then download XP (assuming you paid for it the first time and you have a legit key you are only downloading a backup) and re-install it rather than going back to 98 ... that's a 9 year old OS ... no one should be running it anymore ...

Google "XP key retriever" or something to that effect to find the tools ... I'd look it up for you but I'm answering while I'm supposed to be doing other things, so I'm in a hurry ... :-)

I had the same problem and the Tech.that diagnosed the problem advised me to call the 1-800 number on the back of the harddrive and I did this and they sent me the disk for around $30. After that I invested in some virus protection.
Yes,

If you think it is faster and safer sure you can ...

I used to have Windows 98 and I found it easier until it stopped working but i think you should!

What do i download to make sure limewire doesnt give me viruses?

so, are there any free virus remover downloads that will make limewire doesnt give me any viruses?

What do i download to make sure limewire doesnt give me viruses?symantic

Check out the symantec or McAfee websites and see if they have any free trials for their software. Most downloadable virus protection programs only offer a free trial and usually don't give you total protection against viruses. The longest free trial I know of lasts about 30 days. Your best bet is to purchase an antivrus program and or purchase an external hard drive to store all your music files on, because it will cost you much more to restore all of your data due to a virus.

What do i download to make sure limewire doesnt give me viruses?viruses

don't share and don't download questionable programs, now that limewire got sued it should tell you about a possible virus on a file
use ares for p2p file sharing
look at the size of the file you want to download u should pick the bigger ones, alot times the small ones have the viruses and scan the stuff after you down load them.
Norton
i use avg antivirus and i think its great but i have been using limewire for a long time and ive never gotten a virus i guess you'll have to learn to tell which files can have viruses before u download, a way i do this is by narrowing my search and also look at the bitrate, if it says 128kbps or more, it sholud be fine, do not download the ones that dont have a bitrate. you mays also wanna look at what format the file is

What is a good software to remove quarantined viruses?

I got infected with some trojans but lucky enough my anitvirus took care of it...but not completly. I also ran my antispy to remove some infected files. However now, I am getting pop-ups like crazy and its really annoying since the window goes inactive and I have to click it back to it being active....its weird since I have a pop up blocker.... I would thank you very much if you give me a way that I can take care of these quarantines viruses and a way to stop the pop ups...

What is a good software to remove quarantined viruses?symatec

Sorry dude, but your anti-virus did NOT take care of the problem! You would not have the excessive pop-up problem if your anti-virus and anti-spyware apps were doing the job.

Popup blockers, such as the Yahoo and Google toolbars, will only stop web based popup advertising. They can help somewhat but will do nothing to stop popups on a computer that is badly infected with trojan downloaders that are "phoning home" and contacting other computers to download and deliver the pop up ads.

Try a full cleaning and dis-infection routine, if you are getting excessive popups, or are getting popups even when you are offline.

This is the one I use (it will take some time). These are on-line scans, you do not need to uninstall any of your current protections.

Is limewire Illegal? Does it give your comp viruses ??

My friend has lime wire and she uses it all the time. Does it also give viruses to your computer?

Is limewire Illegal? Does it give your comp viruses ??triumph

Limewire itself is not illegal. But it can and usually is used for illegal purposes. Limewire itself will not give you a virus. What you download with it can though.

Basically, if you use limewire to download music you are safe from viruses. You are not safe from the recording industry sueing you and winning a $250,000 judgement against you (this happened to a single mom in Minnesota about three months ago.)

If you use limewire to download programs instead of music. I can tell you just about everything on there is infected. Downloading programs from limewire is the quickest way I know to get a virus, and most of them are obvious. For instance, do a search for microsoft office with limewire and the vast majority of the results will be a 2 meg zip file containing an exe file. click on it and you're bit. (there is no way a program that comes on 2 cd's can be in a 2 meg file.)

My advice if you want to use limewire for music, that's up to you, but turn your file sharing off, and completely shut the program down after you get what you want. (x ing it out doesn't shut it down, it just minimizes it to the tray by the clock.)

Check the registry for "suspicious items"

********BE CAREFUL WITH REGISTRY BECAUSE IF YOU DELETE/ MOVE OR CHAGNE SOME THING YOU CAN MESS UP YOUR COMPUTER REALY BED AND END UP HAVING TO RELOAD.. SINCE REGISTRY OUTOSAVES IN THE SPOT..*******

Go to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\...

And check if there is any suspicious items..

(Most of the time this is empty.)

Do the same to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\...

*****Please note that you can access the same key from SPYBOSEARCH AND DESTROY in the STARTUP SCREEN.*****

======================================...

Once done lets move to the fun stuff:

First press CTRL+ALT+DEL go to TASK MANAGER

Once there go to PROCESS

Click on the process (pretty much every thing BUT explore.exe; SYSTEM; SYSTEM IDLE PROCESS and SVCHOST)

Right click and end process tree

once you finish most of them right click and END PROCESS TREE explore.exe

How can you scan a cd disc for viruses?virus protection

Well, as I know, Viruses didn't get into CD.

How can you scan a cd disc for viruses?agv

right click on the drive you have the disc to be scanned in then press scan for viruses.
go to my computer, right click on drive e, and scan for viruses..
Right click the drive that contains the CD and scan with your antivirus program. Then left click the scan option. If there is any virus detected, see which music or game files are infected. Don't open or save those infected files. You can still open or save the uninfected files. You cannot delete or remove virus from CDs like from pen drives or flash drives. Hope this is clear to you..... If your ZA System Suite did not detect any virus then the CD should be okay.

Phony pop-up alert boxes, background changes or "balloon" pop-ups from the tray (by the clock) about a trojan, virus or spyware infection and the attempt to sell you some useless software to "fix" the problem usually indicates that your computer has a Smitfraud infection. DO NOT BUY THE PRODUCT THEY TRY TO SELL YOU! IT IS SCAM.

Sounds like your computer may have a variant of this ubiquitous Smitfraud infection.

Almost all "general purpose","all-in one" spyware and virus removal programs such as AVG, Norton, McAfee or Spybot S %26 D cannot remove it, as you have already found out.

Free specialised Smitfraud removal tool is here (SmitfraudFix)

Is it true that Macintosh machines are less likely to get viruses?

I've heard that because Macs aren't as widely used as IBM PCs, they are less likely to be infected with viruses because seldom do people write viruses for them. I have a Mac and this would be great news for me. I was wondering if this has changed because Apple has created so many hardware breakthroughs, not to mention the hard drive in that new Macbook Air. Since Macs are becoming more widely used, am I at just as much risk as an IBM user? A higher risk than I realize?

Aw, do I have to stop opening infectious e-mails? Just kidding, lol.

Is it true that Macintosh machines are less likely to get viruses?vista

Hi, it all depends on the operating system on your computer. The intel Mac is just another regular computer with only one difference that it has a chip inside that identifies it as a Mac.

Mac OS X is a Unix based operating system just like Linux, and Unix has been known for good security and stability so u r safe. If u were to install Windows on your Mac then u would be again at risk.

You should always run a firewall and yes the number of attackers for Macs r increasing everyday. Trust me some of my friends continuously try to break in to OS X machines because of a hatred they have developed for Apple over the pc vs mac ads.

Good Luck and take care!

Are we constantly breathing in germs, bacteria and viruses in our air?

Are we constantly breathing in germs, bacteria and viruses in our air? And if so, where in the body do they go and what happens to them?

Are we constantly breathing in germs, bacteria and viruses in our air?windows

Sure, our bodies fight off most of them. The ones that are not destroyed by our bodies usually cause respiratory infections.

There are several ways our body tries to stop bacteria and viruses from getting into the body. First the little hairs in our nose are supposed filter the air we breath in. Next is the snot/phlegm. It is a sticky substance that catches much of the bad stuff. Then we sneeze it out or cough it out. Next is our bodies auto immune system and white blood cells. They fight off infection and foreign substances when they get into our body. Last is the body's filtration system. This is the lympth system and kidneys. They will trap viruses and bacteria as they move through our bodies. We usually get rid of this waist through our urination.

I hope this helps.

Well does it freeze up? Or does it go to "the blue screen of death"? Also how much RAM does it have, because low RAM could be part of the problem.

And too many programs or music files would have nothing to do with it. The way your computer performs is not affected by how much hard drive space you have, unless you are REALLY low.

3 things you can do:

First install anti-virus software - free from AVG (Grisoft)

Then install adware removing software - such as adaware (also free)

And then after removing the infections install a firewall program - such as Zone Alarm (Zonelabs) which is also free

Keep running them and all will be OK.

Unfortunately you may need to wipe and reinstall your system if the infections are too deeply embedded.

Oh and stop visiting sites at random.

Can't get any downloads after installing anti-viruses..?

I need to get to the download updates as well as other information that comes into my emails. I need real answers not guessings either. Please help me out.

Can't get any downloads after installing anti-viruses..?anti virus scan

it depends on the anti virus u r using, but for all of them u should go to options or preferences, and change ur settings so the anti viruse could let u check ur internet sites, and make online accesses.

check up ur settings.

Can't get any downloads after installing anti-viruses..?ariel

It looks more like you have an internet security program, maybe bundled with the anti-virus software. If you have Norton, then see the above post. If you have any other anti virus program, then click on that particular software and change the settings to allow download emails and updates. FYI, you don't really need "anti-virus" software as long as you don't open unknownn emails, scam spams, unknow attachments and download any software that you either don't know or trust. Anti-virus software only slows down your computer and does unexpected things such interfering with other applications.
please specify which anti virus program ur using ..if its norton...then open the norton application and under an option called internet or system tools u will have email ..click on email and the email settings page is opened towards ur right ...uncheck incoming and outgoin email scanning ....close the norton application ...amd then reboot the comp...and then chk if the outlook express is able to send and recve mails ..send test mails to urself ..this should work for u ...incase ur using anyother anti virus system ...try doin these steps ...it will work.
It is probably protecting you by not letting any downloads come through. There normally is a setting to change that.

Is it true that Macs don't get viruses???

I will be purchasing a lap top some time soon, and I heard that Macs don't viruses. I thought that would be a good plus. Thanks for your response.

Is it true that Macs don't get viruses???anti virus software

It's largely true, mainly due to the Mac having such a small market share that few viruses are written specifically to attack it. If you use word or excel on mac, though, many viruses that attack those applications are cross platform, so I'd advise you to run an antivirus program, or a security suite written for Mac. The best one I've tried is from Intego.

Is it true that Macs don't get viruses???aurora

not true
They can get some viruses but most viruses aren't made compatable with macs they rarely get viruses they're basically industructable my shool uses macs for that reason
there are less viruses for mac but mac can get them too
Yes, that is true to a large degree, although mainly for technical reasons. There actually are only a handful of viruses in the wild that could infect a Mac. Mac OSX's underlying technology is UNIX, (very akin to the design of Linux) which is designed from the ground up as a secure multi-user operating system. Viruses have a very hard time surviving in a UNIX or Linux environment, due to very specific separations of user and administrator permissions. The above mentioned statement from someone that there are few viruses on the Mac because it isn't as common as Windows is only partially right. The other reasons are in the underlying design. If you are curious about Mac's seemly virus resistance, check out this page:

The bacterium must have developed before viruses, viruses depend totally upon a host for their continuation. It is thought that viruses emerged as mobile pieces of DNA (or RNA) derived from their host. There are many "inactive" viruses stably integrated into the genome of humans

Please clear this problem about HIV and other viruses? (I need to clear my doubts) Thanks.?

When a person having common cold comes in contact with a healthy person, the healthy one gets infected (even because of hand shake, kiss or other physical contacts, not sex, and sharing other things) but when a HIV positive person comes in contact (not sex) with a healthy person then can he be infected if he contacts with the positive person in a way similar to the above condition of common cold. Please specify with reasons (yes or not, and why?).

Please clear this problem about HIV and other viruses? (I need to clear my doubts) Thanks.?antivirus downloads

Myth: You can get HIV from breathing the air around an HIV-infected person or from hugging or holding hands with an HIV-infected person.

Reality: HIV cannot be transmitted through:

Toilet seats or doorknob handles.

Touching, hugging, holding hands, or cheek kissing with an HIV-infected person.

Sharing eating utensils with an HIV-infected person.

Mosquito bites.

HIV is transmitted through contact with an HIV-positive person's infected body fluids, such as semen, pre-ejaculate fluid, vaginal fluids, blood, or breast milk. HIV can also be transmitted through needles contaminated with HIV-infected blood, including needles used for injecting drugs, tattooing or body piercing.

Why is it that all of the deadly viruses are always from Asia???

Now that they found a dead turkey with the bird flu strain in Britian. I cant help but keep asking myself, why do all viruses get their start in Asia. Please do not give me any politically correct answers. I want the TRUTH!

Why is it that all of the deadly viruses are always from Asia???antivirus programs

One theory suggests that emerging human viruses are the result of increasingly dense human populations eliminating natural areas of diversity (normal ecosystems). When this happens all of the viruses are under strong selection to invade this new high density host, human beings. Asia meets this criteria in that the humans are extremely densely populated, Africa is an area where we are cutting out huge swaths of the original ecosystems.

This would also explain why most human diseases find their origin in Europe, the first place humans lived in high density populations.

Why is it that all of the deadly viruses are always from Asia???computer protection

No AIDS comes from Africa

MAd Cow from the UK
They are not all found in Asia. Many originate in Africa like Ebola. You dont hear a lot about that because they dont want you to know what they are doing over there to the villiages that get it (burn the whole villiage type of thing). Many disease come from third world countries because lets face it- they are drinking water that their sewage runs into, and its a really dirty place. Other serious diseases come from places like the Amazon and again Africa- where there are many, many misquitos- which transmit diseases like malaria and yellow fever. Asia's not the only place. Look at the Center for disease control's website. Its very informative.
Are you kidding me? LOL. Who in their right mind would assume that ALL deadly viruses came from one continent? I would hope that these answers would help you think with an open mind. Well..what about AIDS? Did it originate from Asia as well? NO, IT DID NOT. Do some more research before you make any other ridiculous assumptions.
So you never heard of the bubonic plague ?

You sound like one of the flat earth people . . .

NO, NO, NO, no this is a spy scam. You have a trojan which makes you think you need to download their software. Just run Spybot S%26D or windows defender or whatever security software you have installed but on no account download anything from the interweb which you do not know and above all - Do not panic!
First of all, don't worry, it's not a virus. Your Avast anti-virus hasn't found it because of this.

It's malware, designed to con you into buying their software. If you don't already have them download (free) Ad-Aware SE Personal and/or Spybot S%26D. Uodate them %26 run them, one or other will bowl it out.
Agree with Renoir on this.Its a con to panic you into buying their software.If Avast says no viruses you are OK.Have had these pop ups myself that offer to scan your P.C.Then it tells you it has found 100s of viruses etc but it will cost you megga money for them to remove them.Load of crap,just a moneymaker.Rest easy,carry on surfing.
you need AVG Internet Security it is the best, have it since 4 years
Don't fall into that BS. It's just a pop-up that wants you to download a file that probably IS infected. Just avoid these.

Yes, you CAN track this down, but only if you've the resources of the NSA or sonething equally large. You'd need programmers, a VERY fast and large computer and- lets' face it- that ain't you.

Report this to Yahoo an change your email. Let your friends know your new email (do NOT use an automatic mail-change notification program) and then be very careful about where you leave traces of yourself. My actual email is shown only as a .GIF image on webpages and the 'bots can't pick those up (yet)!

Avast has a scanner and virus cleaner. You have to have the free home edition anti-virus software though. I really like this one. I had a win32.sasser on mine and it washed it right out and restored some files. My PC is running smoother now. It also has a kick a$$ database update. The only thing that it doesn't seem to be compatible with is the Adaware software. But that is because it is a data miner. AND on the plus side of things, both the anti-virus and the cleaner are totally free. Yeah, I have the Adaware SE on my computer too. But you can set it up to accept the program as safe file.
check some of the antivirus websites like mcafee.com, symantec.com, or avast.com. They sometimes will have downloadable removal tools that work for specific viruses, or manual removal instructions.
Install Smantec Norton Antivirus and Firwall, run live update and then run a full system scan, it will remove viruses and spywares from you computer completly.

Does Trend Micro OfficeScan Client adequately protect me from viruses, adware, and spyware?norton 2008

Mostly, but remember that your AV is about two weeks behind. A Zero-day virus will pass your AV.
Simply put, "NO".

....you need a more thorough security program than that.
I am using Trend Micro Office Client as well.As far as Scanning is concerned it is very good.But the Updating sequence is Pathetic.I mean by saying that I am unable to get connected to the Trendmicro server even after hitting the 'update' buttons repeatedly.The Trend Micro Office Client is provided by our service provider for free.And since I cannot uninstall it, I have to keep it.At the moment I am three pattern files behind.

So to counter that, I am using 'Avast 4.7 home edition' to counter this situation.I've been using this antivirus for over two and half years with excellent results.At the moment there are no conflicts between both them.They seem to compliment each other very well.......

What is the difference between spyware, adware, malware and viruses?

Are they all the same and if so why different names, or do they all have specific goals.

Viruses are obviously the worst, but what is next and so forth?

What is the difference between spyware, adware, malware and viruses?microsoft

all the same idea, but do different things.

spyware spies on you. records the websites you visit. what you looked at on a site. could record passwords.

adware sends you advertisements. pop up ads, etc.

malware is when you think it is software to do something,but it is MALicious. it is designed to look like something else. free software with something hidden in it.

and a virus is called a virus because it acts like a human virus. spreads on contact and replicates.

they need different names because they act differently, and must be defended against differently.

i use a virus scan(AVG), adware scan (AD- Aware)spyscan (spybot) and a software firewall(zonealarm). none catches all of them.

Is it true that macs really don't get viruses or spyware?network security

Very seldom do Mac's get viruses and/or spyware. The reason is that 90% of the world's computers use Windows, so practically 100% of the junk is written for windows.

Is it true that macs really don't get viruses or spyware?norton internet security

No, macs can get viruses or spyware but the reason why they dont is because not many people are using it. The only reason why Windows gets a lot of viruses and spyware is because many people use it
This is totally untrue, although they do get less due to there being more security holes in windows and windows is used more.
Not necessarily. Windows operating system PC's receive more viruses/spyware as the OS is more common. Mac and Linux boxes are not as common, therefore not too many people create viruses or spyware based on them.

If a company wants to get the most bang for the buck they will write spyware/virus for the Windows OS/Internet Explorer. It has a wider user base for home and business PC's than Apple. Exploits and hacks are listed more often as well for the Windows OS, meaning more code is flowing freely.

Pop-ups are created by Adware installed by different sites on your computer. To stop these pop-ups, you need to remove special keys from your computer which are installed by those sites.

Good Luck!

Can someone help me how to get rid of viruses ?norton

I waiting too, I have the same problem
you dont have any protection programs? or they are all expired? You might have to purchase a good one (like Norton, Kaspersky or Mcafee...) online, but if you dont wanna do that, you can format your computer again by yourself, just put everything you need in drive D, and delete drive C totally, but the thing is you have to have a CD with a key to format windows again. If you dont have a key, you can find one online for Windows XP, Windows Vista and try to crack, but for me, it's kinda complicated and sometimes the keys found are in blacklist, kinda unsafe. does your computer still have guarantee? if so call the customer service and ask a technician what to do step by step to format your computer or if you cant do it yourself, send it back to the factory, they will format it all over again for you. Your computer will be like new without viruses, but remember to back up your data like documents, pictures, music (put them on CDs) before you send your computer. Good luck!

New Desktop Wallpaper? Saying my computer is infected with viruses??

My desktop is blue saying my computer may be infected with viruses. A new icon has appeared named PSGuard.

I scanned with NOD32 and it says my laptop is clean?

Does anyone know what it is? And what will it do?

New Desktop Wallpaper? Saying my computer is infected with viruses??nortan antivirus

PSGuard is a malicious anti-spyware software that performs those actions usually done by trojan horses. It uses a root-kit to keep registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ShudderLTD (with its child keys and values) protected. PSGuard is able to do this by using a well known exploit [difference between Win32 and Native APIs]. Having this nasty corrupt anti-spyware program on your computer makes it insecure, you should deal with it as soon as possible.

This Trojan is also known as:

ps guard

Scan your PC with these to remove it.

Spybot - Search %26 Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S%26D is free.

I have dial up internet and i want to use a Belkin USB Network adapter so i can wirelessly go on my labtop. will I get viruses on the computer i use to put the USB network adapter on?

If I dont go on internet will i get viruses?nortin

Well unless you install something from a disk with a virus you can not get a virus if you don't connect to the internet ever.

But you're saying you want to wirelessly access the internet using the Belkin USB Network Adapter. If you use that you will obviously be connecting to the internet, in which case you are potentially susceptible to a virus.

There are some steps you can take to protect your computer:

1. Don't use Internet Explorer 6. Download Firefox (www.getfirefox.com) or Internet Explorer 7 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/product...

2. Don't download free software such as screensavers or similar programs. Never click inside the box of a pop-up.

3. Buy or download a security suite and scan your computer regularly and update the program regularly. Some good programs to buy are Norton or Kaspersky. For free programs you can try AVG or Ad-Adware.

If I dont go on internet will i get viruses?pc security

as long as you are connected to the internet there are chances to get a virus keeping up the fire wall and going to secure sites are you safest bets also using anti virus software
Anything you install on your computer from an outside source may potentially contain viruses. If you are not connected to the internet, that would greatly reduce the chances of getting a virus. Whenever you download something or install new software, it's important to immediately scan for viruses. I'd recommend to anyone to never have a computer unless you plan to have a virus cleaner. Unless, of course, you are never going to install anything on it and you are never connecting it to the internet--like a word processing computer.
Just wear a condom and you should be ok.

P2P SOFTWARE usually dont hold viruses, the things ppl download does. The lower version of limewire used to have spyware in it or something. Limewire PRO is my preferance. But I use a different sharing technology now. Anyway, if you dont want to contract viruses from P2P, use common sense. Most songs are around 3mbs. If you see a song like .2mbs, it might be a virus? Maybe? Look for file sizes, and right click-%26gt;properties and see the file type. Music is usually .wav, .mp3, .ogg, and google some more. So be careful and use common sense. Hope I helped.

You should give a try. (I have Window's Vista and it works fine on my Lovely Vista and no other software work like Kazaa Platinum does).

Happy :) customer of http://www.kazaa-platinum.com
There is no ideal P2P program. What is best for me may not be best for you or anybody else. The bottom line is: buy the greatest amount of ram you can afford, chose the best NIC and optimize you network configurations. And most importantly, install the best anti-virus program you can buy and update it regularly. P2P programs do not prevent viruses, your anti-virus program do.

all the best
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/... On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.
I love AVG Free. I am PC tech and swear by it. I know most of my peers do as well. It def. does not give you viruses. As long as you downloaded it from the real AVG website, you should be all set. The creator is Grisoft in case you want to double check.
no it's not.. eset just want you to uninstall avg.....

so that you will not be using it... some anti virus programs do this..
If your ISP has installed an antivirus you should either drop AVG or the one installed by your ISP. Never have but one antivirus running in the background. They will definitely conflict and cause problems.

Eucaryotes evolved after procaryotes. Their features and organization is much more complex %26 organized then the latter, %26 are more versatile. Also, error correction is better.

Most bactreria do not have introns. Some virus have introns but they are most probably recently derived from host DNA. A similar phenomenon to viral transduction. (since virus are compact and do not have spare room in their capsids, those

introns will disappear shortly, in geologic time. Host RNA have introns cut out when they are transcribed from nuclear DNA to messenger RNA. Therefor an RNA virus picks up RNA, (%26 not DNA, excepting retro viruses which are a small % of RNA virus species).

yes, ive done this several times because of viruses
If you format your hard drive and then reinstall windows, the viruses will be terminated. You will lose all of your data though so back up what you need.
sometimes the viruses will stay. they are called 'boot sector' viruses.

use fdisk /mbr or delete and recreat the partitions when you reinstall
No I would recommend the anti virus system that yahoo provides for free Ez-antivirus or norton or macaffe. Also use Ad-aware to remove spyware

Good Luck.
Depends on if you are just re-installing the program or if you formated before re-installing. if you formatted, they are gone.
You usually have to do more than reinstall. you actually have to format the hard drive. As this will delete all the files off your computer, you will want to be sure you backup anything you want in the way of pictures, music, documents you have written, etc. first. Copy them to a CD or DVD (something that can be removed from your computer) before formatting the hard drive. Do NOT try to backup any of the programs, just the data files.
Reinstalling won't remove them. You need to make sure you format and repartition your hard drive first before reinstalling. then they will be gone, Unless you have a virus that has infected your bios or cmos.
if u will format ur laptop and then reinstall windows then all the viruses will be gone.
Yes.. just wanna throw in my $.50 cents... the virius will be gone and when you reinstall... it will be like your pc is fresh out the box.. i do it a lot when my pc gets slow... just something2do when i have some free time. also.. it keeps your computer skills sharp for whenever someone else needs your help reformatting their hard drive. they can call on you! ;)... (GOOD QUESTION)
unless it a very serious one yes
If you only re-install windows without re-formating the hard drive, the virus's and trojan horses could still be on the hard drive. I would re-format and then install windows from scratch. You could also just get a free anti-virus software program like AVG from free.grisoft.com. Good Luck!
if you've formatted the windows drive (full) and the virus was on that drive yes otherwise NO. You can use the Antivirus program like norton or mcoffe to scan your drives

Whats a free music download site that has no viruses.?

i dont want any viruses or antyhing.i want a free music download site. Also whats a good ipod video converter ???thats free and easy to use. i want to convert dvds and stuff from youtube or google video.

Whats a free music download site that has no viruses.?norton ghost

If you are going to download free (illegal) music then you need to learn to download smart. Viruses are only for those who don't know how to use their software. Software like limewire (limewire.com) can be a risk if you don't know what you are doing. Make sure files you download have the ".mp3", ".mp4", or ".acc" file extension and have a size of at least 2.5megs (2500kb)

Whats a free music download site that has no viruses.?software

limewire hasnt put any on mine so...limewire
if u don't want a virus u probably have to buy the music so its safe...nothing comes that easy. nothing is free when it comes to downloading music unless its illegal, as far as i know. hope u find a cheap site, try yahoomusic.com or iTunes/ know that u have to pay on them though. good luck
There's lots of genuine free music download sites but they're usually showcasing the work of unsigned artists or make music available for publicity purposes.

not-a-virus. How do I keep getting all these viruses and how can I chase them down and stop the cause. After a scan, which are several a day, they list the viruses and part of the file (or where ever) code. How can I find out where they are coming from.

Turn off system restore. This will remove all restore points since some are infected and will make scanning quicker. Turn system restore back on after you are malware free.

Remove temporary files, logs, cookies, etc. by using Ccleaner. Do not use "Advanced Settings" or the "Issues" button. Use only the default settings. This will make your scans faster. Run the cleaner again after you are malware free.

How do Christians manage to divert a question about viruses with "the fall"?

Blame Adam and Eve, fine. But who created these life forms and micro-organisms? Did they create themselves out of materialized "evil"?

You try to blame everything on "the fall" and say the earth was left 'susceptable' to "bad" things???? But this is nothing but a copout since you are avoiding the ultimate question of who created these life forms,

since they are life forms, and God is the only one to be credited as 'creator'.

Or would this be a circumstance where you would have to concede it's more evolution which has to do with the mutation of viruses and bacteria rather than God or the devil?

So if it's just "nature", than why does God step in for a church revival but he can't seem to change 1 tiny particle of DNA code on a strain to make it non-lethal?

With that, it would seem it comes down to 'God's willful punishment' or "God has no control at all with the workings of nature".

---which is actually quite the obvious choice if you look around.

How can i make safe my mobile nokia5200 by viruses. is there any free antivirs availble? plz tell me the sorcepanda

Your phone is already safe from viruses. Neither viruses, nor anti-virus software exists for it.

Currently, the vast majority of viruses and other malware for mobile phones is for Symbian S60 R2 phones (although some of it works on Symbian UIQ phones). Your phone is not a Symbian phone, so this is not a problem for you.

There are very few malicious programs for PalmOS and Windows Mobile - but your phone isn't running any of these operating systems, either.

Finally, there are a couple of Trojan horses for J2ME - but your phone doesn't seem to support Java midlets, either.

So, you don't need to worry about viruses infecting your phone.

How can i make safe my mobile nokia5200 by viruses. is there any free antivirs availble? plz tell me the sorcesuzuki

I work for Tier 3 data support for T-Mobile. The only Tier 3 for T-Mobile in the whole country.

I can GUARANTEE you can't get viruses on your phone. It is almost impossible.

That's the whole reason why there are no anti-virus programs out there. The operating system on your phone does not use kernel. kernel is used by windows, and is what is affected by viruses when you get a virus on your computer. Since your phone does not have kernel, it therefor cannot get viruses. You could download all the trojans in the world and your phone would be unaffected

Why is my computer suddenly running so slowly when I have no viruses and no spyware and clean drives

Yesterday I was watching a DVD on my laptop with my girlfriend when suddenly the computer started to lag-- the sound and video on the DVD started to break up as if my computer though it was a bad movie. After the lag, I ran Ad-Aware, noticing that it took forever for the program to come up, only to find that no spyware was on my computer besides basic tracking cookies. I restarted my computer, thinking that maybe something so simple would fix it, but no, it took 5 minutes for the computer to restart.

I have defragmented my drives, used Disk Cleanup, checked for viruses with Norton Anti-Virus, removed any spyware that existed, and still my computer is extremely sluggish.

I am using Windows XP on a HP laptop with 1 Gig of ram. Not sure what else you need to know, but my computer was much, much faster before this sudden change.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Why is my computer suddenly running so slowly when I have no viruses and no spyware and clean drives?pc security

The solutions to this problem can fall on many points. The easiest way to fix this slow down is to preform a system restore and restore to a previous point before the computer acted strangely. There is a high chance that some strange anomaly turn a 0 to a 1 in the registry and could potentially cause this problem, system restore would repair that.

If that is not an option, try to restart your computer in diagnostic mode. Go to start, run, and type msconfig. There, there should be several buttons reading normal, selective, and diagnostic. Diagnostic should be selected, when you close out, you should be prompted to restart. Restarting in this matter will start your computer without any other programs running except the needed files to run.

How do people profit or benefit from creating computer viruses ?

I was just wondering what drives people to ceate theses computer viruses,what do they get from it ?

How do people profit or benefit from creating computer viruses ?photoshop

The biggest reason right now is financial, what the criminals do is send out spam or IM's that will download a virus that will allow them to control your computer. They for the most part they are not interested in you, but what you and hundreds of thousands of "zombie PC's" can do. A common tactic is to bombard an off shore gambling site with so much traffic that they can no longer do business. Then they extort money from them to turn off the attack, which they usually get, because there really isn't any legal recourse for the gambling sites to follow, because gambling sites are not legal in the U.S. They also can bring down other sites like CNN, and Bluefrog. There are researchers that create proof of concept viruses to allow anti-virus companies to stay ahead of the criminals. There are many more reasons, but getting large farms of Zombie PC's is most common, they also rent these farms out to people who do what ever they want to do with them.

The security control panel will tell you if everything is working properly. There is nothing that will make it 100% safe. It is up to you not to do stupid things.

How do you know your computer in protected against viruses?trojan

By installing the "paid subscription" antivirus and antispyware software programs and also a firewall. This is the best protection available for today's computer operator for "real time" protection.

Free programs do not protect the pc with the only exception being the free Microsoft Windows Defender which is an antispyware program.

So, you will want to review some terms to understand what protection is and does and what are the best available.

1) Real time protection

2) Heurisitics

3) Antivirus software

4) Antispyware software

5) Firewall

Security Recommendations:

http://www.bluecollarpc.org/

"It is now strongly recommended to have a firewall, antivirus, and antispyware paid subscription security software installed, updated, and running continually for personal and computer security. It is also recommended to join at least one avenue of information and/or help such as groups or forums or RSS news feeds or simply checking any Internet News publication on security at least on a weekly basis."

NO, you can get viruses from any site
No! Yahoo is just a web site with lots of links - and a little more. You can get a free antivirus by going to www.avg.com. There's a free version there that's awesome. Remember, sometimes viruses reside on webpages - or when you download programs - sometimes they come to you in e-mails. You absolutely need a virus protector.
No.

Get AVG Free and Norton Antivirus, depending on operating system.
No. You should always have an up-to-date virus scanner and firewall installed and running.

This is a great free virus scanner:

http://free.grisoft.com
If you don't open emails, you don't insert floppies or cd's or use a flash drive, if you use a firewall %26 don't use wi-fi or bluetooth, you can still get a virus.
you need alittle more than just a virus scanner program.

AVG is great use it myself

but you need a spyware program also so try AVG-anti virus or spybot search %26 destroy or superantispyware.com

also Ad-ware2007 for malware and a good fire wall like zonealarm

all but the superantispyware program can be downloaded from p.cworld.com for free.

and like they said virus are ever where so keep the programs update and run them often.

"Superhuman Samurai Cyber Squad" (based on an updated version of the legendary Japanese character Ultraman) was the show you're trying to remember.

And the kid (played by Joey Lawrence's kid brother Stephen) didn't hop into a laptop (really didn't exist at the time as we know them) to enter the virtual world and transform into the hero...it was his PC.

There were several that had that senario, in Zeo it was called Mean Screan and in Dino thunder it was called A Ranger Exclusive.
That was Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad! That's such a great show, but unfortunately only lasted for 2 seasons.

It was actually Matthew Lawrence who starrred in the series, and though it was usually on the PC, they did sometimes go into the internet via a laptop owned by the character Sydney :)
