Security - December 2007

My husband plays endless hours of online games like Guild Wars, etc. Does this open my computer to others? Can his gaming friends or other players obtain access to my system this way. I don't necessarily trust that it is a secure way to play. How to I tell if my computer is safe?

When I try to open Trend Micro PC-cillin a message pops up stating:
Unable to start program. A previous instance of this program is still exiting. Please wait a moment, and then try again.

I have been to the website for support, but I have to enter a product key and I cannot get into the program to get it so it won't let me submit the question. My computer came with the Trend Micro installed, so I do not have the disc either.

I also get a Windows Security Alert stating that my Virus protection is off, and I can't figure out how to turn it on. I have ran the online "housecall" scan and nothing came up. I have tried other scans and it states I do not have a virus or anything?

I am very confused by this and can't figure out why PC-cillin wont open and why I can't turn my virus protection on. If you have any information, PLEASE help me.

This Malware box popped up in my screen and it offered to remove viruses from my computer. Supposedly, Malware found viruses in some of my files, but when Malware asked my if I wanted the viruses removed, I canceled the whole operation because I am not sure of the good intentions of this program. Please tell me if you know anything about it.
Thanks

Ok, so yesterday my computer took a nose dive and was running very very laggy. Moving windows around, laggy... the internet (even on a very small browser) very laggy like scrolling... windows media player.. laggy... etc etc.

Now, it shouldn't do this expecially because i don't really have anything running.. and because i have 2GB of ram and my computer is very fast.

I have run, Spybot, McAfee, Symmatic, adwear.. etc.. in safemode, and it's found stuff, and took care of it.. ran them again.. and they didn't find anything hte 2nd time.

Ran registry cleanup..

Even changed to 95 theme with no effects or w/e... still very very laggy. anybody know whats going on?

I think it is a virous or something, but i can't seem to get rid of it.. anybody have any answers?

A number of my friends have experienced odd activity on myspace accounts, such as random bulletin, comments, messages, that they did not post themselves. I looks as if it is coming from a friend, but really it seems that is some sort of phishing attack. Can anyone let me know what to do if you do end up clicking on such a link and receiving weird computer behavior?
