Seriously, This site is home to some of the most challenged people I have ever seen anywhere on the net. Its the same questions asked over and over by people to incompetent to properly query a search engine. "How cen I git 2 myspace at scl?" "i think i have a virus NTLDR,plz help!!!!!!" "wats teh best way 2 dwnld free music?"
These questions are then (typically) answered by people who are just as clueless & uninformed, who post the same ridiculous solutions over and over, or best case scenario, copy and paste something of semi-relevance.
This site should be advertised on the side of small, yellow buses everywhere.
With a couple of exceptions, It's like the dumb leading the dumb.
Formerly, AOL users had the dubious distinction of being the most ignorant group of people on the internet, but this site is passing that legendary moronic user base in leaps and bounds.
Go ahead, report me. WTH, I think I'll report myself.

I installed Spyware Terminator but my computer slowed right down. Microsoft Word, for instance, took several minutes to load. Was I doing something wrong or is this a problem with free spyware? I've now uninstalled it.

Even respectable Organizations like the American Cancer Foundation advertises on their sites for example torrent reactor....If police want to do a serious job...why not go Downloading Sites hunting?

I wonder what happen to the viruses in the quarantine if we uninstall the antivirus. Do they will re-infect the computer ?

I recently restored my computer to its factory condition and reinstalled my software and I have just started getting 2 popups when I am online 1. message from windows registry to windows user-windows error message-registry damaged your windows registry is corrupted and needs to be cleaned immediately, and gives me a list of things to do and says please note once you visit msregistryclean.com and install the program you will not receive any more popups like this one. The 2nd one says:message from system alert stop. immediate attention required. Possible critical system errors to fix critical system errors do the following: and lists 4 things to do and says failure to act now may lead to data loss and corruption. I have Norton antivirus 2007, and norton antispyware, and GhostSurf 2006 and Tenebril AntiSpyware and Mechanic Registry, all of which have not picked up anything abnormal on my computer. How can I fix this problem? If you can please email me instruct. mystic_tiger74@yahoo.com

After realizing that my antivirus trial had expired, I just downloaded a new trial (mcafee). The Mcafee program uses it's own firewall. If this is true, can I assume that if I run my own firewall (built in to windows XP) and Mcafee, that I am running 2 firewalls simultaneously? Should I turn one of them off?

you've gOt to help me. it seems like someone---or something hacked my pc with virus. there are windows which keep popping-up which say that there are spywares in my pc, but actually i run my anti-spyware every week. geez, those pop-ups are so irritating! and there are many different pop-ups offering me to scan my pc or download anti-spywares. but when i do, it just scans, that's all. it doesn't help. it doesn't remove this malware thing. i know that i'm supposed to jst have to purchase but i've got to check first whether there's any other way of getting rid of these spywares malwares or whatever before i buy an anti-spyware software. my uncle forces me to do this thing instead of buying~ oh please! any answers? thanx a lot
