Computers & Internet - 22 July 2007

I was thinking of buying "Kaspersky™ Anti-Virus 6.0" .. since I heard thats the best.

What do you think?

I know its a matter of opinion of which is best .. but which is best according to what the product offers?
(Right now I have AOL Active Shield since its powdered by Kaspersky -- love it_---> used to have Norton and hated it)

Thanks.

I know my way around the computer, but I'm not a pro. I have a Gateway laptop Iwith an anti-virus program and I frequently scan and update my computer, but it's really SLOW sometimes. I right click on "My Computer" and it shows that it's a Gateway 4026GZ Intel[R] Celeron[R] M processor 1.30GHz 1.29 GHz, 224 MB of RAM. Should I but a new laptop or but more MEMORY?

I understand that Macromedia Flash Player is a plugin to play this on the internet, but I downloaded a movie file that I would like to keep watching, so I need to find a program that can play these types of files.

I keep getting pop-ups on my computer. A McAfee scan said that there were no infected files. I downloaded Windows Defender and did a Full Scan and there were some infected files. I removed them. However, the pop-ups continued to appear. Now, I scan my computer ever so often but the infected items I try to remove don't get removed. It says "error encountered". These are called Win32/Fotomoto and Virtumonde and ClickSpring. Also, I want to get rid of the problem, not just the pop-ups and without harm to my computer. Thanks.

I am having issues with my new computer. Every time I try connecting with my wireless card it’s only giving me local access as opposed to Internet access. I am using a Netgear wireless router. Normally it works fine but lately it’s giving me grief and only giving me local access. How do I go about correcting this situation? What am I doing wrong?

I'm creating an invoice with formatting. I want the borders I have added to show when the document is opened, but for the unbordered cells to be invisible to another person opening the document. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

I've just dropped coke on my IBM laptop, only about 3 keys were hit, it was just a tiny bit... I took the keyboard off, cleaned it all up, put it back in and all the keys that i spilt on, work perfectly...

but...

now there are 5 keys ( 5, 6, g, h, ; ) which are no where near were the coke spilt, that are acting funny..

if I press lets say 5, what appears on the screen is g5 if I press 6 I get g6 and so on.. but only with these keys...

does anyone know what has happened and how to fix it?
Thank you in advance!!!!

I have a software program that I'd like to distrubte on CD. It doesn't completely fill the cd, and so people wtih the correct equipment could burn new stuff on to it. Is there a way to lock the CD or fill up the rest of it so that nothing new can be added to it?
