Why doesn't yahoo answers put this as some sort of sticky!?

Question

Half of the questions here can be answered using this
(like why is my pc running slow, why doesn't this work, ...)

1. Download and install the following free (in safe mode if neccesary)

Spyware Terminator
Spybot Search and Destroy
AVG Anti Virus
CCleaner
Zonealarm Firewall

(if you prefer you can use others offcourse like: adware, commodo)
(if you use norton, toss it, its a system hog and isn't any better than the free alternatives)

2. Use the scan function of those programs in safe mode (F8 when starting windows) and remove everything they find.

3. Download firefox

4. Do a system restore (google it)

5. Reinstall windows (google it)

6. Dont click ads, links in I.M. programs, mails, dubious sites to stay safe in future. Nor download programs like KaZaA, Bearshare. Don't visit porn/crack/dubious sites. Don't install software before you google it. Use torrentsites with comment systems like torrentspy and read them.

It would save most of the people alot of problems.

I know why they don't do it, but this should be standard knowledge if you are using a pc.

Answer 1

yahoo answers already has this kind of feature - it's the 'search for questions' box at the top of every page.

most of the questions asked here can be answered by typing the very question they ask into google and hitting search, but there's no real form of quality control on yahoo answers.

but it is what it is, a (somewhat) live public forum and even if you had a bunch of articles on the main page it's unlikely the majority would use them - as the lack of the search box indicates; various identical questions appear every few minutes.

Answer 2

i think creating a general computer/internet faq defeats the purpose of the yahoo answers service.

Answer 3

For the same reason they don't have the following posted as a sticky:

"Yes, of course you could be pregnant. Please see a doctor and take a test right away."
