Does anyone know where I can find the version of Ad-Aware SE Personal to download ? (build 1.06r1) I had the previous one but I deleted it. Now I need it back and the only thing I can find is 2007 version which is not the same. I don't want it. I want the older free version SE Personal. I have heard of using oldversion.com or oldapps.com, but are those sites safe to use? ... any help is very much appreciated!!

Okay, when I came home from vacation this summer, I tried turning on my comp. The power plug was unplugged. My mom said my computer was making this wierd noise and it wouldn't turn off so she unplugged it. I tried plugging it back on and when i did that the power button started flashing and making this wierd noise. It will not turn on at all, and will not open CD drives. I'm going to give a lot of details so you know everything that I can observe from it. Please help if you can.
DETAILS:
Fan is working
Power button flashing orangish-green extremley fast
Makes a 'dududududududu' sound in tune with the flashing
light below power button is yellow
All wires are indeed plugged in
When first press moniter button on it is green for a sec then...
Moniter light is orange (color it is on standbye and when off)
Will not turn off no matter what unless you unplug power cord
The moniter is not the problem, that I am sure of
Computer is an emachines
Around 4 years old I think.

i'm considering buying a bluetooth USB dongle for my cell phone, which already has bluetooth. [the dongle is to plug into your computer so you can make a bluetooth connection with your phone]. it looks similar to a flash drive. here's a picture of the dongle alone.
http://www.executivetools.co.uk/images_products/Wireless/BluetoothDongle04.jpg

i know the price range for an adapter is $20 to $30, so i don't want to make a mistake. if you buy one of these USB adapters at.. let's say walmart for example, would it REQUIRE you to install a driver when you plug it in your computer? if it comes with a CD to do so.

also, with this bluetooth USB adapter in my computer, is it capable of sending both pictures AND music files to my phone?

thanks in advance.

More recently, viruses have been created to steal personal data such as passwords or to create relay stations for making junk e-mail more difficult to trace.

Suddenly, though, viruses weren't spreading as quickly. Virus writers now motivated by profit rather than notoriety are trying to stay low-key, lest their creations get detected and removed, along with their mechanism for income.

Many of the recent malicious programs technically aren't even viruses, because they don't self-replicate, but users can easily get infected by visiting a rogue Web site that takes advantage of any number of security vulnerabilities in computer software.

I am resorting to you guys cause I know that you are geniouses. (geniousi??) LOL

I purchased an HP Pavillion notebook with Vista installed. I am using it for my work so I am allowed to install Microsoft Office 2007 pro. They gave me the lisencing info and I logged onto the site and did the download.
After the download was complete, I thought it would automatically run, but it showed in a long white box, with three tabs underneath. the closest I 've ever seen this box look like is a Zip file box, but with no colour. I've never seen anything like it.
I pressed the one button that said something like "run this program" (sorry can't remember) and then it asked with which program I would like to open it. I chose notepad thinking that it would provide the instructions for extracting the .exe.
It didn't
Instead, it locked up everything - I had to shut down and restart and now EVERYTHING that is related to Windows programs is opening in notepad.... what did I do and how can I fix it?

The first screen that is supposed to show the BIOS manufacturer or so doesn't come at all. The power light is on, but the CPU light shows no sign of activity. It is only on, just like the power button. I have tried changing the memory, the monitor, no difference. Is the CPU/motherboard faulty. I slaved the HDD to another PC and cleaned any viruses. The PC was packed down for some months while I was not around. Any ideas for solutions?

I have a helpsvc.exe file that takes 100% of my cpu. I've heard it was a bug in windows, so I renamed it so it won't be used again.
but once I do it recreates itself.
I've done a virus scan and no virus was found. I haven't heard of it as a virus from any online sources.
Does anyone have the same problem?????

ok so i have a dell c521, which i got pretty much 3 months ago. and since the first week the comp would freeze once and maybe twice or 3 times a week.
when it freezes, the screen goes crazy with all these crazy colors and then it just hangs.
i know its not a virus because it began even when i didnt have an internet connection.
could it be because i added the ram that cam with my older dimension 8400?
anyway umm what should i do? its kinda annoying when it freezes and i really want it to stop.
the comp came with vista but i reformated the hard drive and installed xp sp2 over it.
and umm yea, any one have any clue what i should do?
