Yesterday I had deleted all the files my scanner had said that were infected and then it said my computer was safe but with one file said to be in danger but just now it got infected again and now i have to get rid of it again. but just after that I just got rid of it with a final scan with showing that nothing was infected again. Will it come back? How does it keep coming back? Is it a very serious virus that will affect my other users or will it just affect me? I need helpto get rid of it for good! Oh and if your going to answer my question, please answer all of them please or just say you don't know. Thanks!

I've had me PC for about 18 months and its always run fine, but recently its running slowly.

I defragment it regularly (approx once a month). I run anti-virus and anti-spyware scans once a week (I use Zone Alarm), and I've also run Ad-Aware very recently but it still runs slowly. I run disc cleanup about once a month as well.

Any suggestions about how to solve my problem?

The print is so tiny I can hardly read it using a magnifying glass. I've changed the printer setting and the computer font size, but the print doesn't change. It seems locked in teeny, tiny print. Any suggestions?

Every time I Safely Remove Hardware, my computer stops recognizing those drives until I restart. I know I'm just doing it wrong, but how do I do it right so that I don't have to restart my computer each time? And please only give me a response that you know is right, I'm sick of getting answers with "Wow that sucks" or other dumb responses cus people just want points.

I mean, I hit the right button to shut it down, but it restarts instead.
It only shuts downs if I unplug it.
