I think I have a computer virus...everytime I try to go to a popular website such as myspace it redirects me to some crappy site and I get like 6 pop-ups as well. Eventually it will let me go to the correct website but only after cliking on the link 3 or 4 times. I used my virus scanner and it is not detecting anything. How the heck can I find this and get rid of the bad file(s).

It's a Compaq, and has Windows XP. I deleted most everything on it, and it was working fine. I've recently downloaded AIM, iTunes, and installed a wireless receiver, and it's back to freezing or restarting.

"you do not have the authority to dowload this software, only an administrator can authorize dowload"

It is 1 of 2 laptops I have rented out from a local college, but the other one dowloads stuff without any errors. Why does this one do that?

Are there any differences in these processors or is it just a matter of name preference? I am getting confused by all the pc shops using these different terms.

I have an extremely old pentium 3 550mhz processor, with 384mbs of ram and a 20 gig hard drive. I dont know what the smallest linux that doesnt run off a live cd is. I have used slax portable linux but i want a permanently installed os (preferably with a kde interface and maybe looks like ubuntu) and I dont want to permanenly install slax becuase it still functions as a live cd, just running from the hard drive.

So the bottom line is, I need a list of small sized linux OS's with links to a download. remember, I am choosing a best answer.

Thanks!!
