My sister has the same problem... only we can't reboot her computer because her cd-rom drive don't work. It always gives off a "This program is something something illegal" I've tried spybot and adaware... the only things that would actually run and everytime I do a scan she has adware and spyware out the roof. It's not been so bad since I disabled her ActiveX.

This makes me mad because it's always me trying to fix her computer. I have sat there trying to teach her how to scan for viruses, make space on her computer, scan for her adware and spyware... disk defragments and what not. I've put many hours and money into her computer... way more money then I've spent on mine.

I am guessing you have a adware/spyware problem.

You may need to really watch what your downloading. Scan everything you download with a virus scanner. Don't say yes to ActiveX downloaders on pages that just randomly open, and keep your firewall on... that is if you have one. I can't say which programs to get, I just use adaware and spybot so I'm not to sure.

I am no a computer expert, but I know what I need to know to keep my computer running. I have yet to reformat my computer... though I better not jinx myself. I just don't... download anything like Music, games, warez, movies, shows, porn, or add-ons to anything.

i suggest you buy the most recent version of norton antivirus and firewall. but if that doesn't work just format your hard drive and start over. but make sure you burn all your important files onto CDs and make sure you know how to re-install your operating system =)

Thank you guys for the help, Its time to get norton again, Man yesterday I had like 13 credits now I have 1.73 days left to be active? So anyways my application was accepted and I registered my site, everything was going great, I made a template off of dreamweaver and thats when trouble struck, I tried to save my work as index.html then put it in public_html well it said it worked, but my site went from the defualt, to this page cannot be displayed, I dont know what happened, this is my first time making a site, I guess it's alot harder than i expected, i guess I'll try more tomorrow. And thanks to everyone who has been helping me, it is much appreciated.

I use Avast antivirus and it helped me block maaaany virusses and spyware, before that I have to f-disk every 3 or 4 weeks. Internet is full of crap like that.
I just booted my pc an hour ago and allready have this in my logs:



Gladfully they were all blocked

ok so Ive been using Norton and Spybot like 5 times a day, guess what happend today, yup you guessed it, that makes 5 times this month that my computer has died, I just keep the Windows Xp disk on top of my desk now days, I use it all the time. Man what a piece, And whats worse is I didnt get a chance to save my files to disk, My computer would not let me do crap, ctrl alt del had no effect, Im such a lucky guy right, So now I dont have my website files, the site never worked anyhow, so I requested it to be reset, buffalohelp has been alot of help, and many other people on here as well, Thank you all, It has been alot of fun learning about computers and anything and everything here, I love these forums. And need credits for my reset request. Until I get my computer skills up, the only help I think i can be is if any of you want to learn about health and fitness or martial arts, you can hit me up on AIM at bmxpunker2005 or MSN at bray_64@hotmail.com And someday my site well thanks for reading Peace out everyone.

I download alot of things, but still don`t get many spyware. I guess it is because i am using a router and a hardware firewall. But i am still getting very many attacks, so i decided to make an email adress only for the attack logs on my ip. Now i have 3628 messages that say that my ip was attacked by brazilians but the attacker didn`t go trough the firewall.
