10 Points to the person who gets rid of this thing.
Does anyone know what I can use to get rid of the virus that I have. I have tried Avast, which I currently have but has locked majority of my files down. I have this other one aswell it is really good but still does not get rid of the virus, it keeps on coming back after I re-boot the pc.
I cannot get into my Control Panel its locked up and says I need to contact administrator.
Please help with this, its stressing me out.

i run windows xp and for whatever reason the control panel has changed from the default view to just a tab view and i can't figure out how to get it back. i thought there would be a "switch to classic view" option like in vista but i can't find it anywhere....any ideas?

I have had my site with YahooDomains since 2002... but I don't like the forced changes they are making me adapt to. What is a good site to have host my site? Right now it is under 100mb, without much traffic, nothing really fancy, but it has over 100 pages within it. I need to have multiple email accounts, and I want to have my own domain with email accounts like @mydomainname.com, not @mydomainname.host.com. I want it to be a realiable host. I currently use CuteFTP 4.2 to upload, so if I can keep using it that would also be a plus.

For example, in a NAT config file, I see options with values like:

192.168.0.0/24 and
192.168.0.1/32

So what do the 24 and the 32 mean? Do they indicate ranges of IP addresses?

I was thinking of buying a Macbook Pro for Christmas, however, I want to buy it once they release an updated version of it, not buy it as it is approaching the end of its cycle. Might Apple have a new / updated Macbook Pro out for the Holidays or probably not before then?

I recently got new ISP service and couldn't get a signal through my router, so I directly connected one computer to the modem and it worked. Went back to connect to the router to the network then into my computer, and it didnt work again. So I went into my router to tinker around and I came across one setting with the option of using "DHCP or use specified IP address" (for the router). It was originally click on use ip address, then i clicked use DHCP. Now I cannot access my router anymore. the IP is different for the router, and I have no idea what it is. I've checked the IP I was getting through CMD>ipconfig and saw it was the ISP's IP address, not my router. I have also tried resetting the router by itself, but to no avail. Can anyone help me? I held the reset button on the router for more than 30 secs, and it still has the same problem. Is there any way to find out the new IP address of the router, since it is not the original anymore? THANKS. Real answers only please.

When ever I try opening internet explorer on my computer, it automatically closes after a couple seconds. I can run internet explorer if I run it without add-ons but then I can't watch videos or play games.

Microsoft collects information when an update is performed or a Windows Validation is installed. Is there any way to use this information to catch the user of the stolen laptop while they update their machine manually or automatically? There must be a backdoor somewhere.

my main computer (i'm on a laptop typing this) has got problems. it was fine yesterday, then today the keyboard stopped working, so i tried another, and another. all of which wouldn't work. none of their lights lit up although you could turn num lock on and off on one. they are all ps/2 input. there was no key board listed in device manager. my mouse was fine as it's usb so i thought it might be a problem with the ps/2 port.

then i decided to try restarting the computer to see if the computer would recognise a keyboard then... the usual dos looking screen/s came up and then black, nothing but black. no sound... nothing.

we checked the dvd rom drives for disks... none. and now we're stuck...
any ideas?

I bought a Bluetooth online last week and I got it in the mail today. The reason I bought the blue tooth was to use it for online play with PlayStation 3. But I was unsure if the Bluetooth was supposed to come with a USB to plug into my ps3..do I need one?? Or is the Bluetooth the only thing I need.

Thank you!
