Security - August 2007

My friend is having computer problems. She has not had a current antivirus program since 2002! Her system is a Windows Millennium Edition, which is very outdated. Many antivirus programs don't support it. As far as I can tell, neither Norton nor McAfee are compatible. What is the best current antivirus software that will run on her system?

Specifically, MySpace! The crap that comes off of that site is slowly killing my computer and I just want to deny anyone attempting to get on there when I'm not in my office...so please, if you know how, tell me!

Both cores used to show almost zero usage when I wasnt doing anything on my pc. Now they constantly run at 25-80% usage. I have run spyware programs and have Norton Anti-virus, both show no problems. I just wondered why the meter is way higher than it used to be. Please no guessers--if you dont know dont answer--ok.

I was told to run these anti-spyware programs, windows defender,ad-aware and spyware blaster. And would like to know if it is safe to run these 3 programs at the sametime. I have ran them for a few days and have had no trouble and my pc has not slowed down. Thanks

I was surfing some guitar tabs websites a few days back when norton antivirus&windows defender started to show danger signs.In panic,saw the defender say restart your computer and so I did.When the windows started again,I couldn't open anythin&a message kept on popping
'Windows explorer is not working'
Çheck the web for solution and restart the program'
or
'Restart the program'
That time as I didn't have any antispyware program&couldn't do anythin on the computer,someone told me to recover to an earlier date.So i did&it worked.The computer had started working properly again.
After that now AVG free edition,Ad-Ware,Spybot,Norton Antivirus&the Vista's Windows Defender...none of these show any sign of virus or adware/spyware.But my concern is I see some strange links n files around. Forexample there are 2 icons for www.asecurityboard.com on the desktop and found using startup manager that there is a 'launcher.exe'file set to operate on startup.
What exactly should I do now?

I keep getting up to 20 emails a day going to bulk from the above which are known viruses on the net. I also get emails from unknown people saying there is a card attached from a family member or a friend. I never go into any of them I just delete them straight away. But I want to remove the virus from my system but not sure how. I cant find anything in system manager. I have Antivir and I send the virus to quarantine but I cant seem to do anything else to get rid? Any ideas other than take it to a computer specialist.

much appreciated

I uninstalled Norton and it's updater, afterward I did have internet connection. I then installed Mcafee Total Protection and now I can't connect to internet. How do I disable Mcafee long enough to check if thats the problem? right clicking on it's icon doesn't do the trick, neither does going into task manager :( Also, what other steps do I need to take to fix this?
If this helps, the pc is an Inspiron notebook , Windows XP. Mcafee installed without a problem, and am hoping the security settings may be the culprit, but I don't know much about that stuff.

I have a neighbor across the street that is a theft. He's been in my house before, but I can't prove it. I have to work a lot of hours away from home and I would like something I can take with me to watch my house with. I know there is software that I can buy and record to a PC, but I want something that I can watch and wait around the corner so I can catch him in that act. He knows my schedule and he waits until I go to work and then he and some friend of his that act as a lot out goes into my house. I want something I can catch him with before they get by across the street.

My computer has been infected by a trojan virus called infostealer.lineage. I can't seem to get it off my computer, i've tried using Norton and Trend Micro, Ad-Aware SE, Spy Bot, Windows Defender, AVG Anti-Spyware and I still can't seem to get rid of it. A message keeps popping up saying my computer has been infected by a trojan virus, but when i try to get rid of it, none of my anti-virus programs can seem to detect or get rid of it. If anyone knows how to properly remove it from my computer please let me know!!

I have another PC in the house that has no internet connection. I just wanted to ask if how could I update my anti-virus on that unit even without internet connection? Both of my PCs are using the same brand of anti-virus. Of course, the one with the Internet connection is always updated everyday. But what about this other without Internet connection? Is there a way to update there? If yes, what is the procedure and what are the files needed to copy from one pc (internet) to another (without internet)?
