Security - December 2007

During installation it did not ask for product key and did load, but now 2008 is expired. What did I do wrong and what should I do?

a friend of mine was sold a rebuilt computer from someone she knows. This is her first computer..he told her all she needed was a firewall to be safe, no anti-virus or anti-spyware programs. Won't listen to me...says "he's the computer genious, he rebuilds them all the time!" Can you be computer savvy on the mechanics part etc, but stupid on internet usage? Or do you think he just said that so it will mess up and he can get more money from her when it messes up?

after you respond to their question can others still see what you wrote?

I'm asking because I gave a perfectly legitimate answer to someone's question and they blocked me.

Thanks!

I keep getting an annoying pop up every time I try to open my brouser or go to a different website. It says "your computer was infected by trojan, It's dangerous for your computer, some files can be lost! Click ok to download the antispyware program to protect your computer"

Of course I click cancel, but it continues to pop up every time I try to go to a web page. Please help!

I just recovered my laptop from a lot of viruses, trojans, and spyware. I'm using norton antivirus, ad-aware, and avg to scan my computer. I've deleted the 211 files that were found to be infected and scanned my computer again. I've then scanned my computer again and ad-aware and avg aren't finding anything but norton keeps popping up saying that a virus has been detected and removed or just detected on my computer. Could there still be viruses on my computer and if so how do I find them and get them off? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

A friend of mine (a computer newbie) just bought a rebuilt computer, her first. The person who sold it to her told her she didn't need an anti-virus program or a spyware program as long as she had a firewall. She thinks he's a computer genius cause he rebuilds them. I tried to tell her otherwise but she doesn't believe me..so how long do you think it will be before her puter is so screwed up she is begging me to help her? I give it a week at the most ..lol..we have a bet going on this..

I need someone to explain to me what kind of info is given out to a site wneh I upload a picture to that site. I am dealing with a selling site that I was supended from. I have another account with them but need to upload pictures from my computer to post the item for sale. I need to know (besides IP address) can the site read any codes specific to the picture that can give me away. Besides IP address what other info spicific to my computer is given when I upload a picture to the site. Is the site reading any of my MAC address or is my computer generating any static codes particular to my computer that the site can read to give my ID away? Please don't tell me they track IP because I already know that. I need to know what besides IP can the site track when I upload a picture or is the IP the only thing spicific to my computer that is read by the site. Is the site acutally picking up any specifc info besides IP when it's taking the pic out of my computer that would give my ID away.

The cable guy came to the house and set up the modem and everything. He tried several things. The proxy was good, etc. He says that it looks like a virus. I downloaded the latest avg setup files onto my flash drive and then put them on my mom's computer and set up avg. I did a complete scan...It says that there are no viruses on the computer. It still can't access the Internet. What should I do?
