Okay I need to know if there is a program that I can download for free which will make it so if somebody tries to download something they have to enter a password before whatever they are trying to download is downloaded.
I Also need a program that will make somebody need a password to install programs.
I need these programs because I have 3-6 Nephews and about 3 neices. 1 Neice and 3 Nephews that actually use compters and they use mine whenever they are over becuase it is better than my dads and they always download junk that i do not want such as AOL Messenger and ect.. They did that to my dads and thats why they use mine now is because they downloaded so much crap on to his that his computer froze up when restarting it and i dont want that to happen to me.
So Please Help!

Our systems guy has resigned. I need to insure that he leaves all information back related to the company. Since we are yet to have our policies in place, what precautions shall I take to take a proper handover from him.
- Passwords, Usernames. Admin/others NT
- Broadband router username/passwords
- VPN username/passwords

Do I need to scan all files if he has removes/protected ?

Thanks

the only way to see a password (like hotmail) is thru a keylogger right?
how do i know i dont have one in my PC and make sure and feel ok?
someone used this PC for some task, configured DSL stuff (when i just had DSL) and that person is not very trustworthy
im afraid my hotmail account might be hacked

Thanks all

I want to start fresh and restore my system, but I can't find the restore disc. I have a Dell computer. I was wondering if anybody knew a way I could restore my computer without that disc. I have a few discs, but I'm not sure which one to use; they're pretty unclear. The anti-virus software I have are AVG, spybot and Ad-aware. AVG is not stalling mid-scan, so that's not getting me anywhere. The rest of them catch some but can't get all of it. Now everything's slow, and popups keep flooding in. I can't even uninstall programs, because of these viruses. Could anybody give me a hand with all this?

I often exchange files between my personal and office computer using a USB key. How do I avoid viruses being transfered as well? I have Bitdefender anti virus on my office computer and nothing as yet on my personal computer.

I have been told that Yahoo is one of the safest ways to receive Emails. My computer vendor however has now told me the opposite. What do I believe?

Would it be just advertising firms that track our internet activity? Or can ordinary people purchase or produce such software and send it to other computers?

I have norton antivirus 2006 on my windows xp and for some odd reason, when i click on the icon on the bottom right of the screen, norton antivirus opens up but it doesnt show the middle of it, it just shows the top bar and the border of it, the middle shows my desktop behind it, and it also requires control alt delete to close, bec/ clicking 'x' doesnt work. Can anyone tell me whats wrong and how to fix this, i can not see the status of my computer or run a system scan. P.S. i DO have over 100 days of subscription left, so thats not the problem.

Well if https is more secured why not use https and dump http , we just find https while logging and money transfer , why not for normal use such as https://answers.yahoo.com

Well, from my experience, Norton and Active Virus Shield are the best. Spyware doctor and Spybot Search and Destroy are both bull****! They don't remove hardly any viruses and their real time protection sucks. I would highly recommend AVG antispyware (fast scanning and real time protection.) Panda antivirus is also bull. Once a computer is infected with a trojan, Panda can't help you. In my opinion, Active Virus Shield is best( even better than Norton). It doesn't take up a lot of disk space and is rated #1 for a reason. AND ITS FREE!!!!! Never tried Avast, but i hear its good also.

I currently use the product of a well known (ISP) to conduct the scan and they tell me my security status is excellent.My ram is high and I have plenty of hard drive space.Sometimes, I have had to abort the scan because it was taking too long to conclude.
