What can you do if you suspect you have spyware or viruses. that your computers sticking and runnin slow?free adware remover

I use AVG and Symantec - I did have Norton and I think it had a virus it it so I removed it. I'm not sure which program is best for spyware though. But if ur computer is slow and is sticking/freezing, then your computer memory might be full. To try and speed it up defragment your hard drives - do this by going to control panel and then to performance and maintenance - and then rearrange items on ur hard drive. Also go to My computer - right click on C drive and got to properties - disk cleanup. Removes all the temp folders and other things that you dont need which could be slowing down the computer. I do this every few days (disk cleanup) and defragment every few weeks. Also have daily virus scans (2 times a day)

How long can cold viruses for the common cold live on surfaces?

I get concerned about sitting on couches and touching surfaces after someone visits and has been coughing and sneezing from a cold?

How long can cold viruses for the common cold live on surfaces?cafe racer

5-6 hours

But it's hard to get a cold just by touching a contaminated surface. Your skin protects you. It's when you touch the surface and then touch your nose or eyes without washing your hands first that is the problem.

Of course, there are also airborne droplets from coughs and sneezes to worry about, too.

If you are concerned about getting sick I would tell your sick friends and relatives to stay home until they are better. Or stock up on Lysol. :-)

How long can flu viruses persist on fabrics? Will ordinary washing clean them?

Clean the linens in hot water and dry them in the dryer and this will take care of any pathogens that may be present on them

Ordinary washing should kill them. Ordinary and regular hand washing will go a long way to preventing the spread of the flu, so why not?

Does takkle.com add viruses to your computer?

I was just wondering

Does takkle.com add viruses to your computer?computer security

Doesn't look like it

Wouldn't creatures like viruses and bacteria kill all other creatures in Noah's Arc?

Also, what is Santa's favorite brand of cookies?

Wouldn't creatures like viruses and bacteria kill all other creatures in Noah's Arc?computer virus

They weren't on board. Only animals coupled in pairs male/female were allowed.

As you know, viruses and bacteria reproduction isn't sexual.

This let me think being mammals is involving a lot of fun than being viruses.

Santa: who knows? Does he really eat food?

Wouldn't creatures like viruses and bacteria kill all other creatures in Noah's Arc?free spyware remover

No, there are natural immunities that would prevent that.

I don't think Santa does endorsements.
God would not have allowed viruses and bacteria amongst the creatures on board. (And there were SEVEN of each good animals, people, not two of each).

And Santa Claus would like frosted oatmeal or anything frosted.
The story says he took two of every animal. Technically animals are members of the kingdom Animalia, which doesn't include viruses or bacteria.

And why would you bother trying to disprove Noah's Ark anyway? No one who seriously believes that story is capable of understanding your question.
Santa's favourite brand of cookies is ''Dad's Oatmeal Cookies.''

What are the latest viruses that attack internet browser?

One virus that is not good is if you open up an email called 'Invitation' even if it is from someone you do know DO NOT OPEN IT it will destroy your C: hardrive!

Does spyware protection protect viruses also?

I assume you mean do anti-spyware protection programs also protect you from viruses?

Unless the anti-spyware program explicitly states that it will protect you from viruses, odds are that it will NOT do so.

Some of the anti-virus (AV) manufacturers have started integrating anti-spyware into their regular programs.

But currently, most software protection against spyware does not also do AV and vice versa.

No. You have to down load antivirus programs. There are a number of antivirus and anti spyware in the market. Some are free and some are to be purchased. Please visit the following site and select a suitable free antivirus.

some ... most of the threats encountered are spyware anyway ... but an actual bad-boy virus that u inadvertantly open from an email or a bogus program u downloaded will most likely nail you ...
No it doesn't it only protects spyware
No, you will need an antivirus (just one), and at least two antispyware.
NO! ! ! !
In a very limited way, it might. Many spyware programs detect actions which could be considered malicious, and therefore could conceivably flag a virus as spyware. However, spyware protection does not offer any significant protection against viruses.
I assume you mean spyware protection. It doesn't protect against actual viruses. Mainly it protects against adware/spyware that can cause pop-ups.
no try Norton Internet security
some do and some not. this free tool does but you still need an anti virus also. http://spywareterminator.com they dont all cover the same virus at the same time so you need more than one. except you can only run one anti virus at a time. but can run several sptware at a time .good luck.
Some programs may cover both or kinda look for both but no overall you want to have a program that has anti virus in its name or whatever.

Does spy ware detect viruses as well?

no ...you need an anti virus protection software like norton for example!!

Does spy ware detect viruses as well?download

No. Spyware is a term used to describe a malicious piece of software. Anti-spyware is a term used to describe software to combat spyware. The generic term for any bad software is ''malware'' - this includes spyware, adware, trojans, rootkits and viruses - all of which plague the Microsoft Windows operating systems. Many pieces of software are available to help combat this plague - some do more than others.

Does spy ware detect viruses as well?hijackthis

No~
depends entirely upon what the virus is programmed to do. To be safe, you need individual defense for both.
Spyware doesn't detect anything.

Anti-spyware detects spyware.

Anti-virus software detects viruses.
no and i really hate adware
No. Anti-Spyware such as Spybot and Adaware will find most Spy/Ad-ware files, but to find a virus you need a virus scanning program, such as Macafee, or Symantec or Norton or AVG or F-Secure, among others.

Check with your ISP, they *might* offer a free virus protection program as part of your service.
I think what you're asking is if software that is designed to scan for spyware can also find viruses. The short answer is it depends on the software.

In general, if the program is designed to scan for spyware/malware, it doesn't scan for viruses. The reason for this is because you can only use one AV at a time, but multiple anti-malware programs.

More AV programs are adding malware scanning to their repertoire, though, so in this case, one program can do both.

Does Rain Water carry VIRUSES?

Rain can certainly carry viruses - they are very small particles that can be carried in blowing dust which can then be absorbed into clouds or falling rain. However, most viruses that can infect humans and make them sick are fairly fragile and cannot exist for long outside the human body. Even if there were dangerous viruses in the rain, they would need an open ''port of entry'' to enter the body in an amount significant enough to cause sickness. The real danger with rain is that it can cause puddles of stagnant water, which are the natural breeding ground for mosquitoes that can transmit dangerous microbes like the West Nile Virus.

Does Rain Water carry VIRUSES?ducati

If air is polluted with virus, rain water may carry that virus. When raining starts then at first the water may be contaminated with virus. After raining has occured for some time, then the rain water is pure as the the air has become washed away earlier.

Does Rain Water carry VIRUSES?hp

no
it doesnt...until it falls to the ground
YES I THINK IN THAT WATER EXIST VERY VERY VERY VERY VIRUSES AND BACTERIES
yes
that is destiled water, so it should be biologicaly clean, so: NO. nevertheless, it is not chemicaly clean, cause water absorbes planty of molculs that float in air, and cause of polution, most of them shouldn't be there, and are toxic
Water goes up in the air as minute steam particles (evaporation), and usually in this form any excess material bonded with the particles are shaken off. The steam accumulates into clouds which condense the water together and falls as rain. Viruses are much larger than chemicals and so don't cling to evaporating water, the clouds, or to the rain which comes from it because it wouldn't have gotten up there in the first place.

Questions about Worms, Spyware, Viruses, And Trojans?

1. How do I know if I have one of the itmes mentioned above?

2. What is the most common ways to get them?

3.How can I protect myself?

Questions about Worms, Spyware, Viruses, And Trojans?firewall

You will only know if you have any of the above infections if you scan your computer with a spyware / adware scanner. This will give you a clear picture of what you have on your computer

The most common ways to get infected with spyware or adware is through the use of porn sites, illegal download sites, various software packages and anything that looks like it is supported by adware / spyware. You can tell if a site might use adware / spyware because they usually operate for free with lots of supporting ads.

You can protect yourself using different pieces of software. Most notbily, using paid for software means you have a greater chance of removing all possible infections on your PC.

Normally your malware programs will delete these beasts. If this is not the case you should be aware that a lot of viruses, spyware %26 adware are designed to sit in RAM, the registry and System Restore and because of this will return even after deleting or re-booting. Removing can be a little time consuming but thankfully not impossible. Yes there are many sites offering solutions to removal but why not do the obvious yourself?

First of all you must turn off System Restore. This can be achieved by going to 鈥楽tart鈥?%26gt; 鈥楳y Computer鈥?%26gt; 鈥楶roperties鈥?%26gt; Open the 鈥楽ystem Restore鈥?tab then enable 鈥淭urn off system restore on all drives鈥?%26gt; click apply %26gt; click ok.

It is now best to re-boot your computer in Safe Mode 鈥?(achieved by pressing F8 continually during boot up) this should clear out the malware in RAM and the registry.

You must now run your anti virus and anti spyware and anti adware software and delete or quarantine any viruses or spies found.

Re-boot your computer in normal mode and complete another virus check. If all comes back clean don鈥檛 forget to turn on System Restore.

Some typical examples of free downloads for keeping your system clean are:

Can it?

Can a wii get viruses from bad websites?free spyware remover

There is always a chance some maniac out there designs an executable to do some kind of damage to your electronic devices, but the chances of a Wii picking up a virus are much lower than picking one up on your PC. Viruses generally target weaknesses in a computers operating system to gain access to information on the computer. Since Windows is the most popular operating system, there are more viruses out there that target Windows weaknesses. Mac and Linux driven PCs rarely get viruses because most viruses are not programed to work with their operating systems. The same holds true for the Wii. However, if planning on using the Wii for surfing the Internet, use common sense and stay away from visiting and downloading sites that seem dangerous.

If you can afford it, go for one of the main stream antivirus softwares like Norton, Semantic, Mcafee etc. If you can't pay for them, look for free or trial versions, which may or may not solve your problems.

Another brute way is to format your hard disk and start afresh with fresh OS and drivers etc. but unless you have backed up your information somewhere cleanly, you will reintroduce the virus again if you try to load the files from backup.

You don't - you remove viruses from the Microsoft Windows operating system that is running on your computer. You computer itself will be unaffected, as will any other running operating systems on it, such as the more stable and secure Linux operating system.

yes u can get a virus PRETENDING to look like a youtube video clip. i'm assuming your brother clicked on it and went to a site with the virus.

in other words, it was a youtube picture not a video that he was clicking on.
yes you can get a virus from any website....and its possible its not a virus but a trojan horse/spyware...thats why its crtical to have a firewall and virus program at all times and keep the definition files updated.
yes, if you downloaded the video it could have given you a virus. By the way, you should NEVER go on the internet without and antivirus program running. Buy one at Target or try to download on.
you may need to go in and do a disk clean up or do a defrag on your puter to get ride of all the junk on it and also maybe delete your Internet cookies also they can take up a lot of room on your puter... i hope this helps some you always what to do the 3 things like once a mth.

First of all it's ANTI-Spyware not 'spywear'.

Second, anti-spyware removes spyware (duh).

Third, an anti-virus removes viruses (double duh).

You should be looking for an anti-virus.

More and more people are saying that people should have to pass a test and become licensed before they are allowed to put a computer on the public internet. Others are saying that children under the age should of 16, be denied internet access, they are just not qualified, they are naive and they are just too immature.

I am starting to agree with them!
SYMANTIC is the best one..
go to down load.com and download ''Ad-Aware SE Personal'' its free and works great
Norton's
You can suft the Internet for free spywear tools.

If you wish to purchase then go for latest version of Norton Internet Security or Symantec-spyware tools.

I think this will solve your problem.
You state that you have a lot of viruses on your computer. How was this detected? using an anti virus program? having a third-party site scan your computer for you?

We use special cleaner on cat trees only occasionally and vacuum every time the room is cleaned and we have never had problem. You can use very diluted bleach and water.

鈽卍o you know how viruses invade and take over cells?

鈽卍o you know how viruses invade and take over cells?internet security 2006

a virus has a protein coat which surrounds its RNA or DNA genome.

when the virus enters the host cell it sends its genome into the hosts cell leaving behind the protein coat. if it is a viral RNA then viral DNA is produced by the enzyme Reverse Transcriptase. This viral DNA is encorporated into the host's genome (into its origin of replication sequence).New viral RNA are produced by the infected cells. These viral RNA develope a protein coat on themselves and become viruses. They burst out of the cell and infect other cells and thus spread infection.

鈽卍o you know how viruses invade and take over cells?microsoft

In general, they trick your body's proteins into producing products for them.

but read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus
Reverse transcriptase is only in retroviruses =p

there are 2 ways in which a virus reposduces and takes over cells

lysogenic and lytic

lysogenic is were it combines itself with the host dna and just moves allong into other cells when they reproduce without killing the host

lytic reproduction is were it destroys the host after making copies.

That's right you will need an anitivirus and my offer is AVG. I've seen someone has already offered you that, but you will also need and anti spyware program. Take a look at this free anti-spyware programs list:

First, get a good antivirus program. If you can't afford commercial software, there are some decent freeware antivirus programs out there. Make sure you have the latest antivirus definitions on the program from the manufacturer (a good antivirus program will always have an update option). Use the antivirus software to do a full system scan and clean. Also, clean up your hard drive: delete your temporary internet files, and your last system restore file that is probably infected, and empty your recycle bin.

Can Ipods pick up viruses from a computer?

Yes, You might of heard when people say ''My iPod is skipping songs'' or ''My iPod screen is frozen!''. Those are examples of viruses on your iPod. My iPod actually got a Trojan Horse on it. I had to restore it 7 times before it became ''mildly'' useable. Eventually I had restored it 28 times before it died from all the restoring and I had to get a new one. Now I have a black 30GB iPod video and I love it! I hope this answered your question!

Does AVG kill existing viruses on your computer?

Yes it does, but you need to set it up to do a scan at some convenient time while the computer is running. Many people don't realise that the hard disk scanning component may be set for something like 4am when the computer is never on. If in doubt, open AVG from the desktop icon, click the Tests menu item and choose Scan Computer - Complete test. Then take a break and let AVG do its job. It will let you know if it finds anything.

(SeanX - get your facts right.)

Yes, and it prevents new ones from infecting

Does AVG kill existing viruses on your computer?nortan antivirus

avg just corntine them or delete files.. and windows corrupt

so it is better use mcafee 8i

and update it from net

take care bye bye
No it doesnt..Its a shitty antivirus. if you want a free 1 use activevirusshield.
Yes. It should detect and remove any existing viruses. It will then guard against any future ones. You can manually run the scan by clicking on the AVG icon near the clock on your PC. Looks like an orange quilt.

Also, since AVG does not include anything for detecting and clean spyware (very few anti-virus programs do), you will want to also scan your PC for spyware. Go to http://download.com and get the free Spybot Seek%26Destroy program. Run it once the AVG virus scan is complete.

How do companies such as Mcaffee or Norton find the new viruses that come out?

And how do you report a problem on your pc due to a virus or other that isn't listed in their program?

How do companies such as Mcaffee or Norton find the new viruses that come out?ktm

There is also the concept of a honey monkey. it is an unprotected computer on the internet that has some scripts running that cause the computer to go to dangerous sites that have had known exploits in the past so that they are even more likely to get attacked.

Norton would probably load up a bunch of the current protection onto a honeypot and let the honeymonkey go the bad parts of the internet to see what NEW stuff is about to attack.

Then this virtual machine is compared to the original pre-infection machine to see what the damage is -the some reverse engineering ensues to determine the attack method and the possible innoculation strategies.

How do companies such as Mcaffee or Norton find the new viruses that come out?nortan

They're the ones writing the virus. Just kidding. I think some of the advanced searches for virus can detect some of them even though they don't know what they are and if you find one you can submit it to Mcafee and Norton. I'm sure a lot of them are submitted by computer users.
About 90% of viruses created are sent straight to Norton. Most of the people who develop these kinds of things just want the pride of having created something that outsmarts everyone. Few people actually want to do all that much damage.

Norton then reverse engineers the virus to find how to fix it.
chatrooms, forums, and emails from users
They also use what are called ''Honeypots''. These are unprotected, un-updated, un-patched computers that connect to the Internet, with the idea to intentionaly become infected.

Most are infected within minutes if not seconds.
They all do, but some are quicker with certain types than others.

Who thinks things like viruses and fungii and insects have extra terrestrial origins?

There is no substantial reliably valid information to indicate that this is a possibility. As Carl Sagan said... extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary proof.

Who thinks things like viruses and fungii and insects have extra terrestrial origins?live update

It is possble we ALL have extraterrestrial origins...the theory is called ''panspermia.''

I am not sure if I beleive it, but it is interesting to think about/read about.

Who thinks things like viruses and fungii and insects have extra terrestrial origins?norten

Fungii? Insects?? Panspermia might explain the orgins of prokaryotic life, but it took half a billion years for the original simple structures to evolve into simple eukaryotic cells. and then a long long long way before insects.

are you really asking if insects came from outer space?

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.

yes they both have viruses but your best bet would be LIMEWIRE they have the best product and it is easy to figure out...

I have had limewire for 7 years and have had no problem with a virus
Don't get busted!

26,000 people are facing civil lawsuits for using P2P file-stealing programs such as Limewire.

People DO get caught stealing and ''sharing'' copyrighted ''stuff'' using P2P filesharing programs such as Limewire, Bearshare, Kazza etc, and face huge fines.

People as young as 12 years old get busted.

''The music industry has turned its big legal guns on Internet music-swappers 鈥?including a 12-year-old New York City girl who thought downloading songs was fun.''

''Brianna LaHara said she was frightened to learn she was among the hundreds of people sued yesterday by giant music companies in federal courts around the country.''

How far did computer viruses ever got to you?

I resisted getting a computer because I heard so many bad things and had a lot of friends whose time seemed to be consumed by them. I finally gave in because my wife needed it for work. But I didn't think we needed security because we weren't going to put a lot of personal information on it. Well it didn't take long to find out how little I knew. Our computer was taken over. A friend got it off but it had corrupted so many files that we had to reformat. Nothing worked right. After installing security and having reformatted she was doing research to do with hospital sterilization and called me to the computer. She said she went to a sterilization sight and something popped up but security popped up with it and said it had blocked something. Later I went to history to see what she was talking about and it was a trojan that was blocked. So these can come from anywhere.

Do bacteria really get viruses? Is this because of the sin of Adam and Eve eating the fruit?

Yes, bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacterial cells. This process has actually been used to treat cattle infected with the E. coli bacteria sucessfully. Viruses have been an important tool in evolution, some of our DNA contains traces of viruses that appear to be important in speading gentic diversity. Bacteria infecting viruses have been around for much longer then 6'000 years, so Adam and Eve could have had nothing to do with it :P

Do bacteria really get viruses? Is this because of the sin of Adam and Eve eating the fruit?systemworks

yes. its true.

Do bacteria really get viruses? Is this because of the sin of Adam and Eve eating the fruit?windows

Yes we can infect bacteria with viruses. Viruses that infect bacteria are called bacteriphages.

It's not because of the sin of Adam and Eve eating the fruit. It's how it is meant to be.

What are the differences between viruses and bacteria?

Bacteria are self-supporting life forms. They live. Viruses are non-living hijackers that have to hijack other cells to live. They are just DNA bits or possibly RNA, and by themselves they don't do anything. But they get into cells and re-program the cells to make more viruses, instead of doing whatever that cell was doing before.

What are the differences between viruses and bacteria?triumph

Bacteria are cells (prokariotic cells), viruses are not.

Bacteria reproduce with their own enzymatic machinery, viruses do not.

Bacteria have metabolism, viruses do not.

Viruses are a combination of genetic material, as DNA or RNA, and some proteins. They introduce them selves in a cell and use its host's enzymatic machinery to replicate its genome and produce new viral proteins, which will ensemble later and produce new viruses, which in turn will infect other cells. There are viruses that infect bacteria, but there is no bacteria that can infect a virus.

What are the differences between viruses and bacteria?worms

bacteria can reproduce on it own asexually, and a virus cannot, it doubted by many scientists over the matter of if it is even alive, it stays alive by invading the cells of the body, inserting its own DNA or RNA, and reproduce more viruses, which it spreads to other cells, viruses are harder to destroy because they can mutate and the immune system will have to find a new way of finding and destroying it
Bacteria are very simple plants, can reproduce in presense of food, can assimilate and grow by themselves. Are fully living entities.

Virus: Cannot reproduce themselves, are an organized pile of organic chemicals with some kind of structure, have either DNA or RNA. Living cells, either plant or animal, must do the work of replicating for them..virus are stuck between living and non-living.. neither animal nor plant.
Virus = nonliving

Bacteria = living
Bacteria is a whole, living cell. It contains all of the requirements for existence.

A virus is a segment of DNA or RNA with a protein coating. It requires another living cell to provide it with materials to duplicate itself.

Do Creationist Christians know that viruses and bacteria evolve? How do they think this happens?

I am Christian, and I do. I am a firm believer in adaptation. When an organism needs to adapt, it does. I've no difficulty believing. Now I'm not really sure how they do it, since I'm not all that fluent in biology.

Do Creationist Christians know that viruses and bacteria evolve? How do they think this happens?trojan

Believe me we know that they change. If ''evolve'' can just simply mean change, then yes, we know that.

Do Creationist Christians know that viruses and bacteria evolve? How do they think this happens?abtuvurys 2005

they don't evolve - they mutate

big difference.
Why would creationism and the ability of viruses to evolve be mutually exclusive? I don't get it.
lol... MUTATION IS EVOLUTION!!! ***NO*** DIFFERENCE!

The Catholic Church actually teaches evolution.
by accomodation
they don't evolve, they mutate, if they evolved they'd become a different life form, they don't they mutate and stay germs.
No evolution is involved. This is because most do die (no evolution there!) and the survivors are resistant to the toxin in the first place (no evolution there either!). The critters cannot develop resistance if they are dead. And if they don't die they obviously already have the resistance, they don't evolve it.

How do you remove Trojan viruses and spy ware from your PC?

I've got an antivirus program but it only identifies the virusses withoutb removing them

How do you remove Trojan viruses and spy ware from your PC?virus protection

Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything. This because the program you download can get infected.

Disable ''System Restore'' for Windows Me and XP, then restart your PC to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/communi...

Now restart in safe mode.

To get in safe mode Press ''F8'' upon boot up.

Select ''Safe mode with Network''.

Go to Start - Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).

Do a full scan of all your drives. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.

When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.

Go to Start - Run - type iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/ Enter(ok).

Do a full scan of all your drives. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.

**NOTE**: Do NOT do anything else with your computer when scanning. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.

Is it possible to get viruses or spyware using mobile web on your cell phone?

it's possible

Is it possible to get viruses or spyware using mobile web on your cell phone?virus removal

Theoretically - yes, it is possible. In practice, however, there are no mobile phone viruses that rely on such a method for replication - at least not yet. Currently, the known viruses for mobile phones replicate only via Bluetooth, MMS and MMC card exchange.

Is it possible to get viruses or spyware using mobile web on your cell phone?anti virus protection

why don't you go to your cell phone website

they may have an answer for you
if you directly install stuff from the web yes......actually the older models are secure cause the net is like a shell and downloads are kept seperate. the more moden ones 2day can be unsafe at times.....on mobile spyware spreads through software which ppl circulate
Luckily no because programmers cant be bothered to create viruses for mobiles that will reach so few people.

Also Apple Macs cant get viruses becasue of the same reason. Apple Mac only covers 3% of the whole market so why spend hours for 3% of something when you could spend less time from the knowledge you already have on windows to f**k up more computers

Is it true that some viruses are resistant to heat and cold?

If so, what food safety precautions should consumers take?

Is it true that some viruses are resistant to heat and cold?virus scan

I know that viruses and bacteria will become dormant at lower temperatures, which is why we refrigerate food to help slow down their reproductive processes. Make sure that you use clean utensils and hands to prevent cross contamination from foods that may contain bacteria and viruses, wash your hands often and follow the directions for cooking meats. Avoid eating raw meats and foods that contain eggs. Use separate cutting boards for preparing meats and other foods that may not be cooked or will be cooked to a temperature that is lower than is needed to ensure safe consumption. Also any food that is kept too long has the potential to have spoiled and make you sick. If there is an odor that is questionable or you don't know how long something has been around dispose of it and start fresh.

Is it true that some viruses are resistant to heat and cold?anti virus scan

yes, food should be cooked to a temp of 165 at least.

avgfree, but it ends until this year.
There is a free anti-virus program made by Microsoft which used to be specifically for large corporations but they have not made it available to home computers only for free. Go to www.avgfreeedition.com. You kinda have to do some searching to find the free download version, but it is there and I downloaded it a couple of days ago. So far, it has worked great. You have to manually do updates yourself rather than it automatically doing it for you like McAfee or Norton, but I think I can afford to do it manually for the price of these other 2. You can also download a free spyware program from the same place. When you get to the page to download, the virus program is displayed first then scroll down and the spyware is next. You do get a 90 trial of the full version of the spyware, but then you have to do still get the use of it, you just have to do manual updates just like the virus program. Believe me, I did alot of checking out free virus programs before choosing this one. And it was listed as 2nd of the top 5 free programs.
Norton
buy norton antivirus. its completely free and i haven't had a virus that didn't get solved ever since i got it.
Ask someone else who likes to part with their money to buy you the software. Otherwise, it looks like you will need to cough up the money for the software.

The programs that erase viruses from your computer do not always leave your software in good shape.

There is a method other than erasing the viruses from your computer. You would need your operating system reloaded, and your data, and your software applications. In other words, starting over.

Unless you know someone who does this free to help others, I think money will be spent to fix this problem--money from you or from a generous friend.

Avg and spybot say no viruses yet spy doctor says there are?

first of all only avg searches for viruses, spybot and spyware doctor deal with spyware and they got nothing to do with viruses. if you install 10 different anti-spyware 5 of them would find different things. even thought different antispyware find the same computer parasite they call them be different names. that's a bit tricky, but that's the way it is, all antispyware work in different ways, some of them can catch more malware, some of them less. it's up to you which one to choose.

Spy Doctor from http://www.pctools.com out of Australia is a purchased software that will not even allow you evaluation period. When the scan is completed you have to purchase to remove any spyware found. Get rich quick.

You can download an excellent free anitspyware for personal use only. http://www.superanitspyware.com This program will always find what all others miss. I use the free version myself.

I find to purchase antispyware program with the guard in the tray is a joke as no guard stops spyware from entering your system.

How do bacteria compare to viruses?

Bacteria are much larger than viruses, and are LIVING organisms, while viruses are technically not alive, since they do not grow or react to the environment in the classic sense, and they cannot reproduce on their own. Viruses can be prevented using vaccines, but we do not have drugs to fight them once you;ve been infected. Viruses are much simpler; they are only composed of a protein capsid and nucleic acids (sometimes include lipids), while bacteria are quite varieted and though not as complex as plants, animals, etc, they are pretty advanced too.

Can Flash .swf files carry viruses?

Wow, we live in a completely Internet ran world now and this should be more second hand then a question. Anything ran on line and sent over the Internet is sent by a code. Anyone with half a brain can write a code, but real malicious people can have true mastery in setting up an exe in anything. and to answer the question, a .swf is no more safe then any other file format. So if your unsure about things, think about this. Look at the file size if your looking at a image and its going into the MB's there is something fishy unless its huge at like 600DPI, but its common sense in things like this, if your not sure about things scan everything or enjoy having a 3,000 paper weight on your desk.

COME ON PEOPLE THIS IS COMMON SENSE!

Can Flash .swf files carry viruses?

Within a Flash file programmers can write some codes (Script codes), so it can carring viruses too.

Can Flash .swf files carry viruses?antivirus downloads

Yes of course they can. Everything that can be transferred on the net can be infected with viruses. If it is not transferrable, then it is not a virus on your pc.

Some sources are downloads, HTML controls, Java, ActiveX, and links.
All it would take is a security vulnerability in Flash. Find one of those and flash could deliver a nasty virus, especially to windoze users who are running it as admin most of the time.
Anything transferred over the internet can carry viruses.

AIM is like a torrent of spyware and viruses. If you want to download it, you must first protect your computer. You need McAffee antivirus to protect you against viruses and Webroot Spysweeper to protect your from Spyware. Spysweeper will also stop AIM from installing BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) and other unwanted peripherals, because it tries constantly.

These two things should keep your computer safe. But it's not 100% bulletproof, so be warned.

YES!!!!
Ha, It's depend! Sharing programme will never gurantee for you that you won't get any virus. Some bad guys can use this to spread out the virus. But you can only get virus if you click to download something that contains virus. Otherwise you won't get any.

So technically, Limwire doesn't have any virus, but Limwire's users can have virus and they can be transferred to you ;)

You better to have an Anti-virus soft and should check for lastest definitions.

How to get rid of viruses for real?

How to get rid of viruses for real?anti virus

You can try Spybot - Search %26 Destroy if your problem is a spyware. For viruses. the problem is that there's a lot of new virus each day. Virus software tend to put their effort on viruses that represent the greatest threat. This mean that a virus may not be detected for many day before your AV compagny release an virus definition for your problem.

You can always try to uninstall the virus by yourself, but this imply a lot if you never debug a computer.

My advice would be :

If your AV software is unable to get rid of the problem, reinstall your PC. I know this is a real pain, but this is the only way to make sure that you are safe.

Use a firewall ... this will help a lot to reduce posible infection.

Browse using a non-administrator account, you will catch less viruses this way.

Dont uses IE6. IE6 contain many unpached vulnerability. Use firefox or any other browsers.

Yes
How safe it is, deppends on the operating system (OS) and the browser you're using.

The problem is, as the internet evolves to make your experience richer, your browser doesn't just download text, pictures and so, but also programs without your explicit permission. This opens a door for malicious programs to run in your computer.

Besides, as the technology evolves and new software is being published (an operating system, a browser), there is no time enough to test it all, exhaustivelly, as to ensure it's flawless. People eventuallly finds out those flaws and the way to exploit them, for example, for a malicious program to remain in your computer even after your disconnect from the internet.

Why do people make computer viruses?

i'd do it to have a sense of power. there was a virus awhile ago where the guy made people pay him $300 to get the virus off. you needed a password to get rid of it, and it was highly encrypted, so only a few people were able to get rid of it without sending him money.

Why do people make computer viruses?antivirus downloads

Unlike biological viruses, computer viruses do not simply evolve by themselves. Computer viruses cannot come into existence spontaneously, nor can they be created by bugs in regular programs. They are deliberately created by programmers, or by people who use virus creation software. It is possible that copying errors and recombination may lead to the actual evolution of a computer virus; however, the possibility of this type of 'digital evolution' is extremely remote.

Virus writers can have various reasons for creating and spreading malware. Viruses have been written as research projects, pranks, vandalism, to attack the products of specific companies, to distribute political messages, and financial gain from identity theft, spyware, and cryptoviral extortion. Some virus writers consider their creations to be works of art, and see virus writing as a creative hobby. Additionally, many virus writers oppose deliberately destructive payload routines.

Some viruses were intended as ''good viruses''. They spread improvements to the programs they infect, or delete other viruses. These viruses are, however, quite rare, still consume system resources, may accidentally damage systems they infect, and, on occasion, have become infected and acted as vectors for malicious viruses. A poorly-written ''good virus'' can also inadvertently become a virus in and of itself (for example, such a 'good virus' may misidentify its target file and delete an innocent system file by mistake). Moreover, they normally operate without asking for permission of the owner of the computer. Since self-replicating code causes many complications, it is questionable if a well-intentioned virus can ever solve a problem in a way which is superior to a regular program that does not replicate itself.

NOD32 is good. It has Internet Monitor, so if you accidentally install a trojan, it will detect it before it is installed. There fore allowing you to delete it before it is installed.

NOD32 is free. And HIGHLY rated.

just roll your computer back to the day before you got the virus using your system restore functions. antivirus software is a waste of money. not necessary.

Ares & limewire gave my computer viruses. what other music-downloading program is safe?

The only way to be safe is to bite the bullet and pay for your music. iTunes, Napster Rhapsody and walmart.com are all virus free and you won't get sued by the RIAA.

Ares %26 limewire gave my computer viruses. what other music-downloading program is safe?antivirus software

none of the p2p sharing programs are safe. u can get vireses,spyware, and adware from all of them. not to mention downlo and media from them w/o paying for it is illegal. anyone who does that deserves the viruses.

Ares %26 limewire gave my computer viruses. what other music-downloading program is safe?computer virus

iTunes
An eight step music process, that has kept me virus and spyware free.

1)Have Antivirus (I use Avg free antivirus 7.5)

2)Have it active

3)Have Antivirus (I use SUPERantispyware Free)

4)Have it active.

5)Download eMule

6)Download Bit Torrent client (be sure it is bit torrent, other versions have viruses at least for me they have)

7)Use eMule as primary and if the song is not found use the bit torrent.

8)Download the requested data or music.

Hope this is helpful
I'd guarantee that 100% of pirated software, music, videos etc downloaded from a pirate bittorent tracker will have a trojan downloader, malware or worse. If not the software itself then the keygen will. When I was learning malware and virus coding, the fastest way to find a variety was to download keygens, software from crack sites or bittorent style networks.

If you want a up close and personnal experience of drive by malware loading or zero days, just visit a crack site.

My advice is to go legit heh.

Ares gives me better results for mp3's, not as many fakes and problems with songs not downloading.

limewire however has built in itunes integration and Ares does not.

What are the treats of viruses when using Lime Wire??

well theres a particularly fun one called Alcra which opens limewire by itself and uses you as a host to send out the virus to other computers. this is actually quite harmless to you and can be deleted manually or if you delete your limewire first then it cant do anything without it so youre good. just watch out for files that look iffy for example files with titles of just a bunch of random words, or ones that just say track 5 etc. and i wouldnt suggest downloading documents cuz thats where the bad viruses are. and zip files are usually trouble makers as well. but if you only download what looks legit then you should be alrite. 鈾?V

p.s ive only gotten one virus and thats because i tried downloading limewire pro using limewire :P

How do i remove any viruses on my computer?

Go to www.symantic.co.uk they have a virus checking and removal part of their website. But you should NEVER go online without an up to date Anti Virus Program AND an Internet Security Program. To do so is inviting disaster.

I run Norton both anti virus and Internet security, they are both good. There are free ones out there but as the old sayings go

1 If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

2 You get what you pay for.

Since I do a lot of banking and financial on mine I want good security, and would never run on a wireless network, they are not safe either.

How do i remove any viruses on my computer?aurora

do a restart safe mode and then perform a scan.

How do i remove any viruses on my computer?download

hi,

It is quite simply rare, if at all possible, to remove all and any viruses from your computer with just one anti-virus program. this is because different anti-virus programs have different protection definitions that it uses to check against existing viruses.

the answer is not to install multiple anti-virus programs, because you render your computer un-usable, eventualy anyway. but you should get a strong anti-virus program that will not allow any virus to get in the first place by giving you subsequent control on what running on your computer.

Does bearshare have spyware and viruses?

No, but you might accidentally use Bearshare to download a file that contains viruses or spyware.

If you want free software to protect against viruses and spyware, I would recommend Microsoft Windows Defender and AOL's Active Virus Shield, see:

I think so.

My comp went crazy after I got that.

The actual bearshare install file won't have any viruses with it, but you can get viruses from any file sharing program if you are not careful about what you download.

When norton AntiVirus scans for viruses how can i prevent it from hijacking my PC and slowing it dow

You can't. Norton softwares are notorious for slowing down computers. Some people have already submitted some excellent advice. Especially, running a scan at night, when you won't be on the computer. There are other tricks that I use. Before a scan, I exit from all non-essential programs. This should speed up the scan because more memory and CPU cycles will be available.

If you get a chance, you might want to take a look at this article:

''What Really Slows Windows Down'' -- written by thepcspy.com

(http://www.thepcspy.com/articles/other/w...

The research conducted an informal test to see how different software slow a computer. The worst culprit was Norton Internet Security Suite.

There are 3 free antivirus programs that are very light on system resources, including Antivir, Avast and AVG Antivirus.

It really does that I have Norton anti virus and it does not do that to my computer.

When norton AntiVirus scans for viruses how can i prevent it from hijacking my PC and slowing it down?norton 360

run it when your about to go somewhere and if you can't do that buy a faster pc with more ram and processor
They all will slow your computer down while scanning even running in the background unless you have a lot of memory, so the suggestion to run it when you are not using it and allow time for the scan to run is the best in my opinion. Peace!
The best way is to schedule the virus check for a time when you dont need it as much.
Get an Apple.
Schedule it to run at a specific time, such as midnight.

Does yahoo have protection against viruses?

Yahoo! does have protection against viruses, however it is for their email program. Yahoo! has the virus programs running on their computers and servers.

Yahoo! would not allow you to send or receive viruses through Yahoo! email.

However, you could not scan your local hard drive for viruses with Yahoo!

It's best to scan with several virus/spyware programs. There's several online ones free that you can use. I like panda and bitdefender best because they've found the most viruses. Adaware is best for removing spyware.
