I kno i probly shouldn't get on to e-mail sites and my myspace page at school, but i don't have a computer at home. I've looked everywhere for new proxies and circumventors that my school hasn't found yet but they are all outdated for my school techs.

I had the free version of Panda Antivirus and now I've installed Avast Antivirus. Now I'm trying to delete Panda but I can't do it because the system says I've got a virus in one of the Panda files! The error code is Error Code: <-5006 : 0x80070002>
Error Description: <>SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1194)pAPP:Panda Antivirus 2007PVENDOR:Panda SoftwarePGUID:D1DA2BA7-2592-4036-9BB2-DCCABDE8DC1A$11.0.0.28844@Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) IE 6.0.2900.2180>
Is it normal for a well reputed antivirus like Panda to become itself infected with viruses? Furthermore, the computer is very slow and it oftens crashes. Any ideas? Thanks and Happy New Year!

Ok. My girlfriend has a Dell Inspiron Laptop, and She bought it with her money, and now her brother changed the settings so that he's the administrator on the computer and so that my girlfriend isn't the administrator on her own damn laptop! We don't know his password, but hers is the same. We want to know how we can go about getting her computer back to HER and not her brother. Obviously he's not going to give us his password, so we were wondering if there was a way to like reset it or something like that so we can switch it around and start over, so she's the administrator and he definitely IS NOT! PLEASE HELP US!
