Has anyone heard of this new Virus protection called 'Blink'? Apparently, it has only been out for a few weeks and I'm trying to find out just how good it is. It is free for one year with a small fee from then on and it's downloadable.

I suspect that this 2 files cause a message to appear before the welcome screen appears:

autorun.inf (hidden)
exiplorer.exe (hidden)

when i try to delete these files they just keep on respawning...i tried to shred these files but the problem is still unsolved. even formatting the disk didn't work..

i'm not sure what harm will it do to my system but getting rid of it will be of good prevention from what might happen..

Alot of the cheaper computers you see for sale only have 1 GB of RAM and maybe up to 256 MB of shared memory, yet they come with Vista Home Premium often times. Can you comfortably take advantage of Vista with these sort of specs, or do you really need more ram or a dedicated video card? I know that more is generally better, but would I regret buying a comp with these sort of specs?

Hey all! I'm looking for a new desktop in the $600-800 range and these 3 seem to be the main choices for processors. Alot of the bargain Dells have the Pentium D or Athlon X2 chips and pricier ones seem to use the Core 2 Duo. I know you can't compare clock speeds and stuff like you used to anymore, so what's a good way to compare them? Would I be OK with a pentium D or is that old technology? I'd be running a new computer with Vista and hope to get some years out of it. Also, from alot of what I've read heard, your RAM and video card may play more of a role in your computer's performance than small differences in processor specs.

Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

A few weeks ago, i accidently downloaded a virus onto my computer. I've been running AVG, Spybot, Ad-Aware and Norton and none of them have got rid of it.
Everytime i run them they find the same ones everytime and delete them but they keep coming back. It's making my computer really slow at starting up and keeps making pop-ups appear when i'm on Internet Explorer. If it helps, these are what AVG keeps finding: hfrlcgui.exe, rgtwnapu.dll and lwqgapgy.exe. Thanks.

There is a straight white line appearing on my laptop screen. It runs across from one end to the other. It suddenly started appearing.

Does one here know the possible cause of this and how it could be fixed.

Many thanks in advance.

I ran a virus scan and found two files corrupted in the C drive and 7 in the F drive,. And this is slowingmy computer down, causing it to shutdown automatically and then restart. I've got a copy of windows, but its not the original CD i used to install windows on this PC. I have partition magic v8, so im wondering, if I can reformat the F drive since its on a separate hard disk, and install windows there, while uninstalling windows on the C drive and then reverse the process once C drive is cleaned up?as you can see , its complicated so I need expert opinion . thanks

If you overclock a CPU even just slightly, is the warranty voided completely?
