I had some infected files that my current program Webroot Spy Sweeper did not locate! I was hijacked and couldn't do any surfing or check my email. When I ran Ewido it found the infections and my computer is running fine! Whats up with SpySweeper and should I now make Ewido my new spyware program or just leave the Webroot? SpySweeper came with my computer when I purchased it.

Okay,my computer teacher is saying that the answer to her question:"Which operating system runs on an other kind of hardware?" is DOS.
Assuming that we're using the Windows OS family today(...sorry to the fanboy) ,wouldn't the answer Unix be more plausible?
Thanks for making it clear for me.

I'd appreciate some enlightenment...

I went to the computer shop wanting to buy a 320 GB hard disk drive, but the computer guy said I should settle for the 120 GB since my 2.4 GHz Pentium4 might not work well with the 320.

Why? Is it worth the risk to go for the 320 anyway?

Because I really, really want the 320...

And also, would a bigger hard disk size speed up my sad, slow computer?

Thanks for anyone's help!

i have not so old western digital harddisk,
which only damage at several part of the harddisk and i can still use it not as the primary harddisk but i only use it as secondary harddisk.

But after i low-level-formatted the harddisk (my friend advise me to do so) the harddisk is now officially dead. what went wrong, and how can i revive the harddisk back to life. is it possible to revive it? since its not a physical damage, it just software damaged i think.

i am also looking into getting a hd drive for the xbox 360 so basically i'm weighing the pro's and cons being that if i buy the xbox drive i wont be able to watch movies from the internet not warez but other stuff you cant always get through xbox as i have my pc hooked through to my lcd but the picture comes up jerky when it moves fast hence why i'm looking to upgrade it or figure out what was best either pc or xbox, would there not be a way of downloading the films then transferring them to the xbox or would i suffer from compatability issues as in the xbox not understanding some file types any advice would be good either a way of optimising my pc buy buying a few components ( not more than 170 quid ) or hd player and hdd for xbox 360 )
or any other ideas cheers oh i will mostly be watching 720p movies i dont know if the lower resolutions helps at all

I'm wondering if anyone please can help a tech-unsavvy newbie? Currently, my desktop is connected (via ethernet cable) to my cable provider, via the Motorola SB5100 Surfboard they provided. However, I've an old unused D-Link G604T ADSL wireless router, which I have from my former ADSL provider. I'd like to link my laptop to the network, and I'm wondering if I can use that D-Link ADSL as my router.
