Computers & Internet - 15 July 2007

Instead of clicking on the software download, I accidentally clicked on the download button in the advertisement. I ended up with a Vundo virus that took me over a month to get rid of.

I realized it today when I did the same thing and saw that the link led me to another website.

I just brought a Geforce 6600 AGP not long a ago, but now I am thinking of upgrade my computer. It is really hard to find a motherboard that support Core Duo and still have a AGP card. I don't want to waste money. Is there a way? thanks in advance

Last year when I bought my laptop, I tried to install/setup a wireless router and couldnt get it to work. I bought 3 different routers, went through setup, and when I unplugged the router (after setup) it failed everytime. I finally just gave up and returned them all. But I really do want it!

Can you help me? I am hoping you know a VERY simple wireless router to both setup and run? Lilterally, if there is a "plug and surf" version, thats what I need.

Again, Dell laptop 1705 and Bell South Fast access DSL.
Right now I have an ethernet cable running from laptop to box, phone line from box to wall, plus AC power.
Thanks.

you know how phone lines have 4 wires in them so 2 for the data like the sound from the microphone and the 2 for power right? so if the used the 2 wires used for power as a second line wouldnt that double the speed of the internet connection?

ok, so i keep getting pop-ups about my computer being infected or something like that. So i ran a full system can with McAfee and there seems to be nothing detected and its saying its fine. Yet i still get pop ups and a different background. the background looks to be an advertisment saying i'm at risk and i need to click here...blah blah blah. So i don't know what to do... One of the pop ups says something like "Trojen.W32.Looksky detected on your machine." then says to click yes to remove but it just takes me to a website and i'd have to download and pay for the spyware program. So please help me

The password to one of my online accounts is saved on my computer and is automatically entered after I type in my username.

This is fine for now I suppose, but I don't actually know what my password is.

Is there anyway to convert these stars into the actual letters/numbers?

I think hax0rz have gotten into my computer, perhaps root, and i need a really good anti-virus. Free one, I'm too cheap to get one off the market. The planted something.

Any suggestions? I might just download all of them that are posted, so I can ask another question in 15 minutes about how I have file problems, more spyware, etc..

*rolls eyes*

Last night I defraged my NTSF hard drive and then my FAT32 hard drive which is about 9 GBs. Well...after defraging my FAT32 the computer would boot up but freeze at the start up screen. Nothing would work. I had to use a recovery disc and completely restore my PC.

Why did this happen, and why aren't there any warning windows that pop up to keep people from (like me) from ruining there hard drive?
