Security - December 2006

i have spybot-search & destroy and it found a threat called Goldun
it scans it every single time i scan my computer but it has never deleted it yet. it says that it could not be removed. i know the location of the threat (spybot told me) and i go there and try to delete it but it says to make sure it is not write protected and currently in use(i'm in same mode, so i cant be using it now) does anyone know how to fix this problem???

thank you for all your help!!!
i will make u the best answer if i can delete it
(btw if u want to know the location, it's C:\\WINDOWS\Temp\501517636\)
also this folder is empty but spybot still thinks it's a threat and i cant open the folder neither
it will say it is not acessible and acess is denied
again thank you for helping me with this problem

when I try to go on , sometimes it's slow and it will say internet explorer cannot display webpage.. then I run the network diagnostics and sometimes it says cannot connect to internet using http, https, or ftp probably caused by a firewall setting, then sometimes it will say, connection has been restored, and it will work alright. I checked those ports and opened them but I still have the problem, can some one help I'v been going crazy for 3 weeks now!

I install norton anti virus 2006 edition (anti-virus,norton firewall,killer spam, and anti index) but my question is why is it that everytime I go to web address they are always prompting in the lower right side of my screen and always ask like this:

"Personal information was intercepted
You are (name) is being sent to (googlesyndication or any site)
allow or do not allow"

Now, my other question is how do I minimize this kind of disturbing thing because it always asking me to allow or not. Anyone can hekp me pls?

I had Norton Security on my computer for years and it worked great. But then one day they came out with an upgrade. The install program popped up and told me I first needed to uninstall the old Norton software. Of course, it wouldn't uninstall. So I went to Norton/Symantec's website and found an incredibly complicated procedure for removing NAV and NIS which involved deleting files manually, editing the registry, and running an uninstall program from their website (which didn't work).

I replaced it with McAfee security software and it works great.

But Yahoo! is in bed with Symantec and puts this friggin' button on their toolbar that gives you the "opportunity" to try Norton security for free (uh-huh). I can't find a way to get rid of that button.

Sure it's just a nuisance, but this is MY computer, not Yahoo's, and > I < say what goes on it, not them. I despise companies that put crap on your computer that you don't want and didn't ask for, even little buttons.

I have a file that I would like to keep people from editing at all costs. It is a very important file in a simple .txt format. Right now I can get it in read-only but if someone wanted to edit or delete it all they would have to do is go to properties and un-check "read-only." I need a solution ASAP.

thanks.

(p.s. I know that .txt probably isn't the best file choice but i dont really have a choice, seriously)

Can a person steal your identity if you open an unknown email? Like info about you from your internet provider, etc.

I don't know the password to an old gateway computer that has Windows 2000. Is there anyway I can get it back, or change it? There are no other accounts or usernames.

Ok, I suspect my husband is getting on yahoo messenger, however he is getting slick about deleting things. Is there a way to check for deleted software or pictures even after they have deleted out of the obvious places such as history, recycle bin, deleted the file etc. I'm telling you he has gotten really slick about it. Any advice would help. Thanks.
