I cant think of a good username name, I would like a good serious, hacker type username like Neo or Morpheus. Those usernames are awesome.

Thanks!

I know that IP addresses are easily obtainable, even if someone uses a supposedly anonymous service such as Yahoo or Hotmail (please correct me if any actually are anonymous). But can an IP addy be used to ping actual location, beyond just city and state? And if someone gets it, can they then target your computer with anything malicious? I'm researching for an article I'm writing on internet safety for kids, so would appreciate sources for any claims, please!

Is it possible to view your internet's history when it's already been deleted?

I inadvertently downloaded an unwanted virus-like thing (it doesn't show up in the "remove programs" nor will it let lavasoft adaware remove it nor will my AVG protection identify it. But it controls my home page, has a bar on top that says :Security Toolbar 7.1 and a pop-up on the bottom that wants money. I am being held hostage by this thing. Please help, I am not that computer literate so please give step by step directions if you know the process! Thank you.

As far as I know, I'm up to date with windows security downloads... Using Internet explorer, I clicked a link in a blog to one of those "make lots of money using my great system" sites, and immediately my antivirus notified me that a trojan downloader had been loaded, and "startup changes" were detected. So... is there anyone who actually analyzes this stuff, and can look at a site to figure out what new loophole someone is exploiting (...besides more hackers)?

What i mean is, if someone has your ip address, is it possible for them to take that ip address and track it so far as linking it exactly to your address? thanks guys.

This files are in rar format and when we are trying to extract, it's requiring password. Where i can get this password. If you want to advise me on the piracy rules and regulation, please kindly dont answer this question. I'm not interested about that, and the company is not going to bankrupt due to this and their already earn billion's of money more than what their invest. Thank you. Your help is appreciated.
