I do not want porn on my computer & when I am with my children at the computer, some distubing images have popped up-graphics & all. This may not seem like a big deal to most people, but it is to me.

Also, there is a situation that may involve by someone who was in our home & I need to know exactly what type of sites were being used...especially if the porn is illegal (i.e. child porn).

There must be ways to do this besides just viewing the history files because those can easily be erased...I need to know more advanced features so that I can actually see what was done. I have emails with porn & these type of ads all over the place & I am sick of it. It is not something I asked for not solicited...I want it off of my computer.

I appreciate any assistance in this matter.

I am a 20 year old college student using Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 4150 (about 4 years old). I recently had to have my computer repaired due to spyware & viruses that had infested it due to LimeWire and other downloading programs I had previously carelessly used. Now I know to definitely not use LimeWire and stuff and am downloading my music from Ruckus and iTunes. My computer is still running slow after the data recovery so I think I want to have Windows entirely reloaded on it, but not at this moment (working at Yellowstone for the summer & nowhere to have that done). The guy who recovered my computer installed Avast! Antivirus & you can use it free for one year. Is that a good program? Will is protect me from spyware also??? What are the best programs for anti-virus & spyware protection for me, keeping in mind that I am a college student with minimal income? What are your suggestions for protection and for what reasons? Thanks so mu

It says "Cannot delete ""folder name"" there has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use."
What does that mean? and how do I delete this folder?

Dear Yahoo Team,
We have recently got a couple of mails declaring that we have won draws from lottery,
annnouncing that we have won quite some amount of money.These companies provide proof
that they will be sending the amount if we give them some personal details.And we
have recieved these letters from quite popular companies such as Coca-Cola(UK)& Power
Ball Euro Lottery(also UK).They wanted us to take the charge of paying the amount for
the delivery sevices.The charge is almost £.600.If they are really going to send the
amount its our advantage.But we'ld be at a loss if they are fakes .On asking them for
prooves,they sent us a winning certificate.But there are a lot of fake companies who
claim to give prooves.Are we putting our identity to threat by believing them?Please
help by responding immediately.

Waiting for reply,
Mr.Confused(Sarath Chandar)
