Security - May 2007

my winferno registry power cleaner hasn't shown any errors for about 2 weeks, I know there have been some errors in my registry during this time, is there a virus that stops my registry cleaner from noticing errors or is there anything that could cause this kind of behavior?

Originally I was recommended zonealarm, which is a free firewall program. Now I notice that Windows XP comes with its own firewall. Are all firewalls basically the same? Would I be compromising the security of my computer if I uninstalled zonealarm and just used the windows firewall?

i picked up a virus or from this link http://www.bitcomet--uk.com/
it was suppose to be bit comet but now something is constantly trying to access the internet, i have zone alarm and the blocks are rediculous. i stopped the setup halfway through because i became suspicious that it wasn't really bit comet.
does any virus expert know how to remove this?

I know someone else asked a similar question but I would like to add a few more details. I believe that computer viruses are a scam and companies like Norton and McAffe make tons of money off of basic computer users because they don't any better. The first point I would like to support my claim is the fact that most computer viruses are purely an inconvenience. They don't stel information or email addresses, the don't stop you from working on important tasks, nor do they stop your computer from working. Most of them hit you with annoying pop ups and inappropriate images. If I were a criminal minded virus created wouldn't I want to damage something or at least get a credit card number or two? Also wouldn't I want to be able to see the effects of my handy work?

Hey,
I can't seem to view my geocities page (it's geocities.com/erasmus_urbino). Right now it only contains a few letters on the page.
I can't view the page or any other geocities such page. It's not an issue with security or firewall and the ISP is working and connecting.
I'v tried running 'cmd' and the 'nslookup' and 'ping' etc stuff and according to that everything is working fine.

So if anyone can help, or even suggest a - better - and free alternative please do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I have recently been having problems with my computers internet security program. I rescaned my computer and updated the software and now when i go into protected sites before it loads it always says that the security certificate has expired or is not yet valid. I have went in to a number of sites and still the same message. Is it my computer or is the websites. Even the banks website is the same. Would this have somthing to do with my internet security program. Norton is the program i use. thanks

I know you can still pull up things even if they have been deleted. Is there anyway to keep someone from being able to do that?
