Computers & Internet - 29 December 2007

I tried to do AVG last night and then again today.......I don't think it took....nothing showed up on the computer (icons) and no e-mails were sent saying that I had completed it.

I am going to run out in about an hour and buy the norton anti-virus firewall and whatever else is on it for protection but it is around $75, very pricy......

Is there any anti-virus that I can either download off of the internet "for free"..................I don't want to pay for it off of the internet..............

If not, is there any more resonably priced anti-virus that you have had good luck with that I could buy instead of norton.

Thank you, I appreciate your answers.

Hi guys what's up?

I wanted to know is someone could help me by telling me which Linux distibution is best for me? I study computers, and I want to enlarge what I know by using what most people think the best OS out there. I would like to create a multi-boot on my current PC. And I would like Linux to be one of my OS installed on there. But the truth is, I only used Linux a bit and that was in school it wasn't an actuall distribution but a Live CD. I study networking, and I'm building up to be a Network Administrator.
Can someone help me find a Linux distribution that matches this:

- Great beautiful GUI
- Easy and simple to use setup
- Will help me in my networking studies
- Works with most hardware

I really want a gorgeous GUI, simple and easy to use with a good/great networking background to help me with my studies. Please tell me the distribution and the link.


Thank you so much!!

So basically there are 5 people in it, each person picks points (up to 24) 24 being the team that they think stands the most chance to win and 1 being the least chance to win. If team loses then they lose those points but if team wins they gain those points. How can incorporate this in excel?

Hey guys, i really need help. I have a wireless-g router with modem by linksys on one computer. I just got another new computer and my old network adapter isnt working [picking up connection from the comp with router] because windows vista isnt compatible with my old adapter, so my adapter isnt even recognized.

now im wondering how to figure out which adapters are compatible with my WCG200 linksys router/modem
its a wireless-g thing so i dont know if that has anything to do with it

but someone please tell me some network adapters i could maybe find at bestbuy that would work with my router. thanks

I want to use it on both my desktop and laptop. I have a broadband connection currently (a CAT 5 cable) coming directly into the LAN port of my desktop PC.
I want to share this with my laptop.
Which wireless router should I go for ? (it's for home use, so do not require a very big range)

It would be great if you could tell the actual physical connection (i.e. cable coming from outsidde to router and so on...) and how can I use it wirelessly on my laptop(which has the capabilities for sure)

Thank you.
