Hi,
I have a pc that has been infected with the Vista Internet Security 2011 virus. It shows up as a fake virus scan popup that asks me to register the software. It also disables all applications from running including virus scannners and browsers.
Does anyone know how to get rid of...
I'm using a Lenovo X60 and my battery has quit on me. Do you think it's safe to buy an aftermarket battery from eBay or should I play it safe and get it from Lenovo?
Thanks

Hi,
I run a couple finance applications at work and my CPU usage averages about 20%. What does this tell me about my computer? Would I see any speed benefit to upgrading or would it just be excess?
Thanks,

Hi,
I run Thunderbird as my email software and want to have it prompt the user for a password before launching the program. Can you recommend a piece of software for the job?
Thanks,

thanks for the suggestions guys... i think i'll call one of those computer repair guys to help me out... i don't really know much about fixing computers.... thanks
Hi,
Hopefully you guys can help me. I was using my desktop as usual and when I went to plug in my printer with usb cable I got a burn smell starting coming from it and it froze. When I tried turning it back on, all that happened was a female voice that said "system failed" and something...
Hi,

i already have an apc surge protector... is this enough? i think i'm a pretty average pc user... i have data that i don't want to lose but i have an external hard drive to back it up on... will my hardware see any significant damage due to a blackout? do i really need a ups?
Sorry... one last question... I still don't completely understand the extent of damage that my computer can incur due to a blackout. Say I get 1 blackout a week... what kind of damage can I expect? Can my computer become a total writeoff?
Thanks for all your help.
Thanks for the help Navid. I think I'll either get the ES 350 or 500VA model.... The 350 gives about 2 minutes of battery backup and the 500 gives about 10 minutes... Do you think 2 minutes is enough time to power down everything so my computer is nice and safe?
Do you think the ES line of APC is sufficient? I don't care how long my computer is running for after a power outage... I just don't want it to screw up my computer.
Hi,
I'm hoping you experts can help me out here.
I've recently added 1064mb (2X512) of OCZ Premier series ram to my existing 512mb (2X256) OCZ Premier series ram.
When I first installed the new ram, my computer would start up then stop working at the Windows Welcome menu. After...
Wadded Beef is correct... I don't know what OCing is and I don't have a clue what type of P4 I have.
Would simply changing the fan make my computer quieter? I believe I can remove the fan because its screwed into the heatsink.
Thanks for all your help.
Sorry...
It is a P4 1.7 Ghz. System bus is 400 Mhz.
I've looked at some posts and some have recommended the Zalman CNPS7700-AICu. Will this one fit? It looks like it'll chew up the cords surrounding it. Any other recommendations?
Hi,
After several years I cannot take it anymore and I want to replace my noisy CPU fan. I don't need it to be super quiet but something average or better.
I had a couple simple questions I hope you can help me with.
1) Do I need to change just the fan or heatsink as well?
2) My...
