What is a really good online game?

I'm looking for a really good online game that is free, but won't carry any viruses, or spyware, or anything that would or could harm my comp. I was recently playing CO, but I think they are getting money hungry, with dbs, and stuff, because they are lowering the Dragonball rate of finding any. Thanks again!

Ever been to Pogo.com? Some games are reserved for paying members but there are still a vast array of games to choose from that are free. You won't be interrupted by annoying pop-ups and spyware while playing- the site is run by EA games, a reputable gaming company. They have: arcade, puzzle, card, and board games to choose from; any of these will suit your taste. Check them out; you might decide it's worthwhile to buy a membership. E-mail me if you'd like a free 5 day pass to play ALL of the games available to members only.

If your not looking for anything fancy, earth2025 is a fun free game. Its not an action based game--its a turn based game played on-line against thousands of other players. Basically you have a country and a military and you try to make your country the strongest, by attacking others or building on your land. Its also a great game if you're into the on-line social aspect of games.

Try for an upgrade of RAM.

Also get CCLEANER, as it will remove the temp files and bad registry keys from your computer.

More memory.

try upgrade memory to 1gb and maintain a good charge to the laptop battery.
you have got 2 antivirus programs thet will slow it down
Windows has a number of design flaws, resulting in it becoming slower and slower and not lasting very long. You've probably heard more than once someone say "My computer is getting sluggish, I'm gonna reinstall". Reinstalling Windows solves the problem... until next time. You may think this is just how computers work, they're very new technology, and still not really stable. Well, try Linux and you'll be surprised. Five years from now, your system will be just as fast and responsive as the day you installed it, not to mention that you won't have any viruses, adwares, trojans, worms, etc., that would force you reinstall anyway.

Svchost.exe - no disk error? how do i get rid of this?

Hi, My PC's has been trouble free for the last 16 months! no viruses, spyware or anything! but in the last week i've been getting a message that pops up every 5-10 minutes saying the following:

svchost.ese - no disk

There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive D.

You then have to hit cancel 10-20 times until is goes.

Any ideas how to solve this one?

Cheers.

Svchost.exe - no disk error? how do i get rid of this?microsoft

hi

when you start up svchost loads services from the registry to run. there can be more than one instance of svchost in the task manager (conrol-alt-delete)

if your main boot drive (the one with windows on) has been renamed then it could be the case that a removeable drive is now calling it's self c drive.

for example if windows resides on d: and c: is a memory stick drive then svchost will be looking for the services to load in the c drive. so if there is nothing in c: it will ask you to load the disk (whereas in reality it should be looking in d:)

click start- my computer to check which drive has the windows folder and then rename the drive if neccessary.

feel free to mail me for further advice/help

AVG Anti virus and McAfee virus scan are supposed to help a lot.check out http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-sAFtLsc8e... for more details.
Use Avg Free (look on google.colm or download.com)

Use the free version

Then Scan, it will take HOURS! i mean like overnight hours but it works great!

then go to www.download.com and type in the serach bar "SpyBot" then use the set up and let it scan and then scan every week or so.

How to get rid of Exploit.ani?

AVG detected this virus on my laptop...now my Windows XP takes 20 minutes to startup....what do I need to do to get rid of this? Also what are some software I can download for free to protect my computer? Do I need spyware...adware..firewall?

I have right now only AVG antivirus...

How to get rid of Exploit.ani?network security

First you must clean-up the current infection.

Run both of these on-line scans and let them remove what they find. Both are free and excellent at detecting and removing malware free of charge. There is no need to un-install your current protections before using these.

1. Scan for virus, worms, dialers, etc. and remove (free online scan, no download) with BitDefender's Online Scanner

http://www.bitdefender.com/site/home/

2. Scan for trojans, adware, and spyware and remove (free online scan, no download) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus.

http://www.ewido.net/en/

These scans will take quite a bit of time. The time is necessary to clean-up an infected computer.

Now you must protect your computer from getting re-infected.

Go to Windows Update and update your Windows with all critical updates. Windows issued a "patch" for the ".ani" vulnerability about a month ago. Just click Tools and then Windows Updates and follow the instructions.

After you get all critical software updates, reboot and go back to Windows Updates again as there is actually updates to some updates!

A properly updated computer would not have been infected in the first place!

Good luck.

Info on AVG AntiVirus Software?

I am looking for any information, good or bad, that you can give me on AVG AntiVirus Software.

I have done google searches but I can't find many reviews. I would not be going with the free version as it does not have any spyware protection.

If anyone can recomend any other VP or let me know which ones *not* to use, that would also be appreciated.

Info on AVG AntiVirus Software?network

For a test report, go here:http://www.av-comparatives.org/

and click "Comparatives" on the left, then choose #15.

The paid (anti malware) version of AVG is basically just a combination of the free AVG anti-virus and the free AVG anti-spyware. Pretty much a rip-off if you ask me.

Info on AVG AntiVirus Software?norton

I would personally reccommend AVG 7.5, or norton antivirus/spyware.
I like AVG (http://free.grisoft.com), personally, because it is free, effective, and user-friendly.

If you want Anti-Spyware, download Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org).
AVG free is excellent. I've been using it for almost a year. For free spyware software, get Spybot and Ad-Aware. Now you're covered!
I use AVG 7.5, and never had a problem, plus it takes up less memory space than Norton. I also use Ad Aware SE Pro for deep scanning.
AVG is done by Grisoft (http://www.grisoft.com) and works fine for what it is meant to do. There are many other programs available, have a look at this site and see what's there for anti-virus and anti-spyware. They're all free programs like AVG, but some may have an upgrade option.

http://www.filehippo.com
Hi, AVG is actually really nice. Your system will be safe with it. Also if u like u could get Norton Anti Virus. Whatever u do please don't get McAfee, it SUCKS. That is the worst protection program ever. Also if u want free stuff then just get these:

AVG Free:

http://free.grisoft.com

or

Avast Anit virus:

http://www.avast.com

For spyware get:

Spybot: http://www.download.com

If u r using Xp, the best firewall is Comodo and its free:

Comodo Firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com

I hope I helped.

Good Luck and take care!

Family filters to download?

My kids are using internet more and just pulled up some pretty rough stuff. Is there a family filter I can download for free that won't infect my computer with spyware and actually works?

Family filters to download?nortan antivirus

Windows has its own parental controls you can adjust them to protect your children. You need to limit what they have access to.

To set up a new Limited account in Windows XP, click the Start button, then select Control Panel %26gt; User Accounts and follow the instructions.

To do this in Windows Vista, click the Start button %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; User Accounts and Family Safety %26gt; User Accounts and then follow the instructions.

Search Engine Redirect?

You probably heard bunch of topics about this. I tried to read all of them. Every time I click on link at either Yahoo or Google it redirects to some other advertisement site.

I need serious help. I tried Zone Alarm, CCleaner, Spybot Search and Destroy, Registry Mechanic, Microsoft Defender. Tried free version of Webroot Spysweeper and PC Tools Spyware Doctor.

Please help. If I won't fix this then I should just probably format Windows. This is kind of inconvenient though, since I don't have enough memory. HELP and THANKS. =[

Search Engine Redirect?norten

Your machine must have been compromised better you should format your PC then install some good spyware such as AVG to protect your PC from getting infected.

How do you delete files like host and registry key files?

I use this program to scan my system, STOPzilla, but its just a free trial scan and it says i have spyware as a registry key such as "hklm\software\microsoft\compression" and i have a host file and the location saying "66.98.148.65 auto.search.msn.com" and i was wondering how to delete this problem.

How do you delete files like host and registry key files?nortin

Its a false positive. The hosts entry is just the default search provider for Internet Explorer. STOPzilla is known for alot of ridiculous false positives.It used to contain spyware a few years ago. I hear they stopped distributing spyware, but it's still a mediocre program. I hear the pop-up blocker is the best part of it.

How do you delete files like host and registry key files?pc security

You can edit the Hosts file entries in Notepad. But, just like the Registry, make a full backup of it before you start. Deleting entries is fairly simple, just highlight them, click backspace then Save.

I've never liked popup blockers because they usually stop what's already infecting your computer. Use a firewall, an antivirus and some anti-spyware applications.
You can manually delete the key by going Start %26gt; run %26gt; "regedit"

Then search for the key yourself.

Let me warn you first, be sure to back up your registry before you do anything because your computer may suffer from permanent damages should you try to delete any keys which are necessary for the start up of your computer. If I were you, I won't touch those stuffs. I will probably ignore that spyware that STOPzilla claims it is. Don't trust it!

Good AntiVirus Program?

Hey what is a good AntiVirus Program, that is free, finds AND deletes any type of virus, spyware or anything.Also please don't tell me a program that gives you viruses if you download it. Thanks

~850 + USD maybe...

assuming u have a case... maybe even ~930+ USD.

also, just on a side note, the videocard is quite lackluster in comparison to the rest of the machine.

The Core 2 is one of the best, and is a great OC'er.

2gb of ram (like mine, except mines 800mhz) is cool

320 gb of space (same as mine)

that x1300 just is quite unexpected in there.

How much would my computer be worth right now?pop up blocker

Considering if you were selling it with the OS disc and all included software, etc, this system would likely fetch I would say around $675-$1200. This range is optimum and the lower portion is more likely than the higher. From the experience as a computer builder and IT, the processor brings the price up, but your major pitfall is that this system is used and not "new" and as such must be asessed as a depreciated item without warranty. I would say a fair price would be in the range of $600 to $850.
1300-1500 usd

How can I save videos on my computer from sites like youtube.?

It used to be really easy. I use firefox and there was a plugin I could use, but now it doesn't work I want to be able to save these videos for later viewing. Does anyone know how I can do this for free without downloading any software that may contain spyware?

How can I save videos on my computer from sites like youtube.?norton antivirus 2007

Try VideoGet. It downloads from YouTube and other 200+ video websites. And convert them into MP3, WMV, AVI, MPG, 3GP, MP4, etc

How can I save videos on my computer from sites like youtube.?product key

There are two ways you can do this.

1. Use software that will download the video and convert it to a mpeg or avi format.

I use an add on to Firefox called Fast Video Download. The youtube video is saved to your PC as a .flv file. Then you need to convert the .flv file to an mpeg file using software such as Riva http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?encoder%26...

A simpler way which does not involve installing software to your PC is http://vixy.net where the conversion is done online. However Vixy doesn't always work, so it's best not to try it when you're short of time.

2. Install Real Player 11 which allows you to both download and view Youtube .flv (Flash) files. http://uk.real.com/player/more

My son used it on his computer and screwed it all up. It took me a while to fix it but it's fine now. I told him not to use that again but you know what will happen.
no, it works OK in ma computer, me and my dad use it to download music and the mp3s are of very good quality, u just have to be careful and check things before u download them
yea my computer runs slow.
The only thing that works on Limewire is the short porno stuff. I'd stay away.
yes it messes up your computer big time!
limewire f'ed up my whole computer had to get a new one
no my i downloade music videos never got a virus ever dumb monkeys if it's a .exe program it could be a virus don't download programs your not aware of
nope it works fine on my mp3 player
Our Limewire works ok. Haven't tried getting viruses from downloading. Sometimes though, it's works slowly.
nope i do now use any p2p software program at all

Need limewire info?

i was told that with limewire you can download music and movies for free but is it safe, does it have spyware, viruses,etc.?

Need limewire info?norton ghost

No it is NOT "safe". ALL P2P has inherrant risks. If you are well educated you can minimize those risks. If you are not well versed in computers, you shouldn't use P2P. Limewire bearshare and frost appeal to the least educated and most naieve of all computer users and virus distributers know that and exploit it. The program itself is ok, its the users that are the problem, both those posting and those who are not knowledgable about computers to use P2P.

The music is NOT free. You may have physical possession of the file, but that does NOT mean you can play it legally. A month ago a girls parents had to pay 3000 fine and over 10,000 in legal fees. Also free music isn't so free if it turns your 2,000 computer into the performance of a 200 dollar computer.

I work for a large mfgr. Of the calls we recieve each day, about 75% are problems caused by spyware/malware/greyware/virus and of those a very large percentage have limewire. Yes, it may be because limewire users are less sophisticated.

Need limewire info?software

Using Limewire, Kazza or ANY OTHER peer-to-peer (P2P) programs to illegally steal music, software and movies etc. without paying for it, is one of the leading causes of virus and spyware infections. Many downloads using P2P file-sharing programs are loaded with malware

What Is A Safe Alternative To LimeWire?

In the "similar questions" thing below where you post your question, there was an individual who recommended a program called "Filetopia" as an alternative to LimeWire.

Awhile back, I had spyware "take over" my computer and I had to get it repaired for $90 and the guy who fixed it advised against me using LimeWire anymore as it has a history of planting spyware. Does anyone know of a safe and free alternative to LimeWire? Safe meaning that it won't mess with my computer with things like spyware, viruses, etc.

What Is A Safe Alternative To LimeWire?norton internet security 2008

I have found bit torrents to be the safest means of file transfer, but not completely safe. Refraining from P2P all together would be your best bet.

What Is A Safe Alternative To LimeWire?spyware removal

FrostWire http://www.frostwire.com
I use a p2p site called thepiratebay. I downloaded azureus vuze (sp?) for bit torrents to work with thepiratebay files. The te has a link for azureus or you can type in azureus. It isnt all that fast because I usually download whole albums at once but if there are a lot of seeders it goes pretty fast.
the first rule of downloading things off the internet, is that there will always be potential problem if you do stupid things, including downloading. limewire is one of the worst programs to use for downloading. alternatives like firewire are no better. they work on a peer-2-peer network where you are reliant on one person for a file so it's slow for larger files and you don't know if the file you are downloading is legit. moreover many of the programs are ridden with spyware for example kaza had a spyware built into it so that's why people switched over to kaza lite.

the best alternatives to limewire would be torrents or irc. torrents are simpler to use. torrents are files broken up into a bunch of little pieces. seeders are people who are sharing the entire complete file. leechers are people with only certain parts of the files. you use torrent programs like utorrent or bitcomet which will locate and reassemble all the pieces for you. the more leechers and seeders the better and faster. this is more efficient for larger files because you aren't reliant on one person for the file. for more detailed the best info site is slyck.com

I can't delete Pest Capture?

I have Windows XP. I was notified that I was infected with Trojan and other viri. It was suggested to down load various free scans. Pest Capture was my choise only because it was the first one. After download and free scan it reported that I had malware and spyware viri and I should purchase the license to continue. Since I don't like to give credit card info over the Net I declined. Now I have this Huge dialogue Pest Capture box on my screen and am unable to delete because it states the "uninstall or remove has been disabled". And it's TRUE. I went into the Control Panel to Add or Remove.....etc. and can't delete it.......A close friend suggested that I Re-Format my Windows XP but being a novice I"m not sure if I could do it. I got a price of $50 but I would really like to see if I could do it myself. It's not the cost I'd just like to try. I've been looking to up-date to a better computer anyway (this one's 10-yrs. old) so I couldn't do any more damage. Can someone walk me thru it?

I can't delete Pest Capture?adware remover

pest capture (Pest Capture) is a ransom ware anti-spy ware product that is promoted and installed by the Zlob Trojan. Other Trojans are also known to install pest capture. pest capture - or the Trojans that installs it - starts generating warning messages (similar to the ones shown below) to try and force users into purchasing the full version of Pest Capture in order to have the alleged infections removed.

Adware Alert (Ad-ware se 2007) Is this program recommended?

I'm going to buy this program since i have like 2000 files infected, but i'm just wondering if it's fake.

Like i heard some of these scanners first add fake infected files onto there, just so you'll buy them.

So is it anygood, or no?

If it's not good, i need a really good scanner that'll get every infected/virus/spyware etc off of my computer for good.

Free or not.

Adware Alert (Ad-ware se 2007) Is this program recommended?adware

Well, I went and looked for it in Yahoo! and found the website, NO it's not Ad-aware Se its different, but it is on "download.com" website, which is affiliated by C-Net. So there "alright" in my book, but it's up to you. Ad-aware Se is better, I have been using it for years, three or 4 so far....great program, easy and simple and runs really fast. I also have Reg Mechanic, Norton (but runs slow, and bogs my 2.4 gig down) AVG (runs a bit faster than norton) and PC Tools Antivirus (same makers of Registry Mechanic) and i still get some viruses, but I get rid of them too and keep most of them out. Good luck.

Adware Alert (Ad-ware se 2007) Is this program recommended?antivirus scan

I have not used Adaware SE 2007 yet, but I have used the AdAware Line for years. You can get the free version from www.lavasoft.de and try it out. Like I said, I have used it for years - the free version that is. I also use Spybot Search and Destroy from www.safer-networking.org. Both scanners seem to find different things but find a lot of the same spyware, adware and malware. Additional software from www.javacoolsoftware.com would be SpywareBlaster and Spyguard. You install those two and basically forget them - except for updates. The first two you need to schedule scans or perform manual scans periodically. Hope this helps...
is it Ad-aware 2007? I have this software but it sucks. Cannot remove malware totally. Try Spyware Doctor. It is very good. If u want the full version, buy it or download it from hacker websites.
I've used that program for a couple years it is great. I recommend it. You can download the free version of it from there web site as well

Why is my computer slow?

Why is my computer slow?anti virus protection

1)Stomp auto-starting programs. Click Start %26gt; Run and type "msconfig" at the prompt. Click the Startup tab and look at all that junk that loads when you launch your PC. Do you really need "Adobe Reader Speed Launch"? Probably not. Turn off anything else that looks useless, but be careful not to disable Windows system components.

2) Clean up the disk. Uninstall unneeded programs (especially those that run at startup and/or put something in the system tray), run Disk Cleanup, and defragment the drive. This is a good first step that will almost always take a few seconds off boot time and application loads for any computer.

3) Run a full anti-virus and anti-spyware scan. I would recommend using AVG Free Anti-virus, AVG Anti-Spyware, Spybot, Ad-Aware.

4) Clean up the registry. This is controversial, as some experts claim registry cleaners don't really help. I've seen evidence to the contrary, so I recommend doing it if you've got a major slowdown. CCleaner is free and worth running.
