Computers & Internet - 29 August 2006

I am new to the computer/internet world and my computer keeps acting up. At first it was popping up this alert telling me that there was a program error with Microsoft Internet Explorer and now it is as slow as Christmas. I have (with the help of others) installed some type of clean up, did Microsoft updates, virus scan, spyware check and something to do with a disk defragmentation. I just don't get what the problem is and I have DSL. If you can help me please be detailed in your instructions because like I said I am new. Thank you in advance.

If you're not a techie - PLEASE don't bother - - - this ones' a dousy (please don't tell me to go see a screwup nosebleed at bestbuy or the likes!)

- Maxtor HD FULL LLF (maxtor disk checked for virii)
- Fresh Win2k disk (cracked it outta the cellophane)
- SP4 installed from CD (checked for virii)
- IE6 SP1 installed from CD (checked for virii)
- Internet set up (PPPoE)
- Connect directly to windowsupdate and update to latest
- Sysworks installed (factory disk) and latest virius updates done online
- GOT A VIRUS on first check (W32.Spybot.Worm) - - -checked and removed... HOW??? I don't know.
- Connect computer to domain.
- When at logon screen, admin shares (IPC$, ADMIN$, C$, D$) work fine. As soon as I logon to ANY profile (roaming profiles on NT4 server), after about 20 seconds ALL the admin shares disappear.

I have a feeling it's a residual of the spybot worm but how did it get there in the first place?

You'll have my eternal gratitude if you figure it out! Thanks!

Is there a way to check your internal modem, wireless card, or to see if there is spy ware slowing down my internet. Everything else with my computer works fine.

Is the Intel Dual-Core processors the same as the Core Duo processors? How fast are the Dual-Core processors? Do they allow you to run multiple applications?

Messenger will let me sign in, then immediately boots me off, with the message, "you have been signed out because you signed in on a different computer or device". No, I haven't, and this is getting frustrating. Firewall has been checked, acess has been allowed. PLEASE! HELP!

I am the only person in my home that uses Messenger, so no one else is in. I don't have computers networked together, and it won't let me in for long enough to change my password.

I just purchased a dell with a Intel® Celeron® D Processor 325 (2.53 GHz, 533 FSB) and was wondering if anyone else had this kind of processor. I am used to Pentium IIII's but this is more affordable.

This keeps popping up just before I open up any programs on the internet and slows everything down.It asks me if I want to keep any programs open and I always answer YES instead of NO.

Pop ups say something about registry problems...can't use limewire without the blue screen coming on, but it shuts off before I can even read what it says.

More info: My footnote is inserted on page 17, and at the bottom of page 17, I see the first line of my footnote, but the remaining 3 lines of footnote text are at the bottom of page 18. This is happening several times in my document, but not everytime. Some footnotes that are longer than this one are having no problem.

Anything you can recommend will be helpful. Thank you in advance!
