Security - October 2006

I'm on Windows XP and have tried to download the free version. But it keeps saying 'unknown publisher' and then says some installation files are corrupt. I've been trying for ages but to no avail - please help!!

At times I receive emails from people whom have heard me speak and whom have picked up my card. But lately I've been getting emails from sites that are solcitating for sexually oriented "services". I do not want this "adult" material coming to me. In fact, though I report this as spam to Yahoo! I constantly get email from a site with a trumped up name and "Hi" in the subject. How can I stop this? I know it originates from the same source because the subject topic is always the same. Now, I'm getting even more email; today I received one with an attachment that had a virus. Please advise me how I can know if the email comes from a site that is marketing sex and not someone who has received my card and wants to communicate with me. Thank you.

I don't want to get viruses or spyware, so I don't download Limewire. But I get friends to send me music through msn messenger. Will I get viruses?

Everything seems normal but any time I type its double, and if i get on-line there are crazy pop-ups. I can not open in "safe mode" and when i turn on the computer I get this screen that dispalys a bunch of information I don't understand and at the bottom it says " press f1 to continue or delete for setup options". I press delete and I get A menu but I can not select any options. I have Ad-aware, AVG, and spybot, none of these have helped and i'm not sure what to do. By the way I'm not on that computer now.

i know that a network switch can filter unnecessary IP TRAFFIC , that is, it doesn't send IP PACKETS to the computer which hasn't the IP ADDRESS of the destination. but you know, an ethernet switch works at physical layer and data link layer, not NETWORK LAYER. so i suppose filtering unnecessary IP TRAFFIC is a router's capability. how can an ethernet switch achieve this? what's its principle?
