Security - August 2006

I think I need to right click on My Computer, go to Device Manager... or Map Network Drive...

I know it's possible, I've done it before but I've forgotten how.

Geeks please help!

I placed this question in another section also, but someone that wont go in that section will be in this one and will be able to help me out....I hope.

Trojans, adware, spyware, all sorts of things have attached and downloaded to my computer earlier today when I downloaded capabilities from Toontown.com. Now, I dont know what to do!! I have downloaded CCleaner and Spybot Search and Destroy, run them numerous times, and things have calmed a little, but I'm still getting bombarded with the same 6 adware popups, and it seems like most at the same time.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions or solutions for me before I croak over from a nervous breakdown?!

Let's just say a guy ran a kiddie porn ring, for example, and uploaded the pictures using his laptop computer that has a fingerprint scanner built in (for added security). Would the government be able to match the fingerprint, and therefore his identity, with the uploaded pictures? Would he be caught because he had a fingerprint scanner?

No guesses, please. I want to know for sure!

I ask the above for the following reason. Say some Hannibal Lecter type takes serious umbrage at something you have written in Answers is there any way that he, or a computer geek, could find out your identity?
