Computers & Internet - 7 December 2007

Malware removal is my primary income source, but I've never taken the time to research why teenagers are the most dangerous thing to Microsoft Windows today. It seems that they download and install everything that ever pops up, along with looking for free stuff and surfing the most risky sites of all. I want to know the details.

Ok, I have a windows xp and for some reason every 10 seconds my computer freezes for about 2 seconds.. This really sucks because when im playing a game it makes it difficult. What could be the problem to this? Loose video card? Something lose in the computer? Fan, not working right? Also, it's not my connection or anything because I checked. Another thing.. I went into safemode and did task manager to check if anything else was running.. it shows that nothing was. I also ran spyware and Ccleaner, what can I do to fix this? :(

What happens if someone has your ip address? like what can they find out?

also, how do you change yours? can you right click on the little computers for the internet and hit repair- does that change the ip address?

I recently purchased a Gateway T-1616 from Best Buy and received my laptop yesterday. I am planning on upgrading to 2 GB of RAM so that Vista runs more smoothly. In my box there was a disk to reinstall Vista's operating system, and a piece of paper with a product key code for Microsoft Works, and Office trial but no disk. When I upgrade my RAM, I have been told that I will have to reinstall Vista and all other programs. How can I reinstall Microsoft Works without the disk? Is it possible to download it online and use the product code given to me by Gateway? I don't want just a trial version, I want to have a stable copy since I use it for school.

Thanks in advance for your help!

i think my kids put in a hub instead of a port on my computer now it wont work - is there a way to check and see if it can be fixed - or is there a place that i can send the whole stick and have a disc made of the photos on it - i am really upset about this whole situation - maybe its just out of kilter somehow - i tried to fix it by the sandisk site but for some reason my computer wont let me delete the files they tell me to take out to reinstall the usb stick - maybe thats not the right way to go anyway - or is it possible that the contacts are dirty and can they be cleaned - i have about 500 photos on it and would hate to lose them especially since i was just getting ready to transfer them to a new stick today

My cable modem is connected to my desktop via the usb connection no ethernet card in the desktop. Can I connect the wireless router up with the ethernet port on the modem. The modem has both a usb port and a ethernet port. Bottom line can the cable modem have both the usb and the etherent connection used? Does the modem act as a hub itself sharing the IP address through both ports or is only one of the selected ports (usb,etherent) able to have an ip assigned to it.

Thanks in advance.
