Other - Computers - July 2007

So recently I've been getting these strange e-mails telling me that I've received an e-greeting or card from a friend/etc. The very first one I got two days ago I clicked on the link without thinking, because at first glance it looked legit. The site that it is linked to does not work though. However, since that time my computer has been running a little slower with frequent pauses during regular operations, like loading web pages, opening/closing programs. I'm wondering if this apparent spam, or possibly viru bearing e-mail might have something to do with it. Any other ideas?

I need to be able to do a blind carbon copy on yahoo, but so far, haven't been able to no matter what answers I've gotten here. It should really be quite simple, unless it simply isn't an option. If anyone has an idea, I'm open to it!!!

My PC is running very slow. We assume its because of so many cookies though we may have a virus.We also cannot do more than one thing at a time or our computer freezes up. Any Ideas?? Our anti- virus and spam-guard are up to date. I'm hoping by removing cookies it will move faster? THANKS!!!

Hi,
I have never been able to upload more than 45 kB/s in a torrent. I have Comcast internet and use BitTornado with Windows XP. I have the F-Secure Internet Anti-Virus/Firewall suite. Torrent sites show me as being connectable and not blocked behind a firewall. I would really like to be able to upload more and increase my share ratios. I can get download speeds of more than 300 kB/s at times, but my upload speeds never get better. Is there anything I can do?

I have about 661 music files in one folder, and I plan on adding more, so do you think that it's not such a good idea? It takes about 5-7 seconds to open the file, and during that time, it makes the cursor look like this

I left my hotmail account open on someone's (a guy I am dating) computer. And, let's just say that there are some emails about him that I don't want him to see. So, when I got home, I went right to my computer and logged into hotmail and deleted all of the emails. Then, I continued to change the password. The question is, did the changes I made (deleting, changing password) take effect on my account on his computer or could he have viewed continued viewing all the info. unchanged?

This computer has been a complete piece of junk. I do not know if it is vista or the compuer. It will not boot up so I think it is software. What I want to know is there another operating system I can load on it instead of Vista for cheap. I want to try and just wipe it clean and load up from the start. I do not want to spend much more $ on it. I just got it about 5 monts ago for $800 so it was a cheap lab top from the start.
