Is LimeWire safe from unwanted things like virus, etc.?

I know Filetopia claims to be free from spyware and adware and I know eMule claim to be free from threats.

But how about, Kazaa (not sure boout spelling) and LimeWire?

LimeWire is not the safest place you can download viruses or other treats, that affect your computer performance.

Stop stealing music...then you don't need to worry about getting viruses from peer-to-peer software.
Limewire is great if you know what type of files to download. If you are downloading any file other than a picture, make sure it is greater than 1000kb because if it is lower than that it is probably a virus. also you can scan your programs after you download them with an anti virus program
ANYTHING you download can have viruses! Use your judgment. A major software package that's only 2MB probably has a virus and lots of trash in it. A full movie thats less than 50MB is probably a porn clip named as something else. Some Audio clips (WMA, MP3) have come through for me with viruses (that my software deleted). Etc.

Just keep your virus and spyware blockers updated and active whenever you're downloading. It seems that almost nothing today is immune from being preloaded with a bug.

My Computer gets Stuck after a small time Booting up?adware

Does it start up in same mode?

(press F8 on restart and select safe mode from the menu)

If it does, try doing a system restore (Start\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore).

Did it happen after you install a 3rd party software, uninstall it and see if it helps.

People who fix computers...how much would you charge for this..?

I am currently in the process of finishing my BA in computer information technology and sometimes fix comptuters for my family and friends....how much would you charge for my cousin.......

1.Installed a wireless router so he can get access to the internet to two PCs he had. (he didn't wireless access so disabled that)

2. Reinstalled Windows XP.

3. Installed a free antivirus, ''spyware terminator'' as well as limewire, quicktime, microsoft office 2003 (my cousin's cd), and nero (my cousins cd).

4. Before all that i backed up like 100 songs and some pictures he had and restored them on the new reinstalled PC.

How much should i charge him....plz consider that he is my cousin. ???

People who fix computers...how much would you charge for this..?agv

something reasonable

People who fix computers...how much would you charge for this..?antivirus software

I wouldn't charge him anything but I wouldn't push more than $100.
well for family i wouldn't charge any thing.......maybe dinner??? for someone off the street 100 bux..........if you had your own business maybe 125.00........overhead............

scott
Most shops, or MCDRT's, will charge 100-150 just to reinstall XP and get everything functional again. The router and software are not much time, the backup takes a little bit. 150 would be appropriate for all that at a shop. What you charge him is your call, but half that sounds about right, plus gas!!
cousin??? make him buy you dinner thats all. let him know if you have to see him for this problem again your gonna charge him $50.

anyone not related charge them.....$75

Which is better Spybot Search & Destroy or Ad-Aware SE?

I need a new free anti-spyware program and these 2 look the best, Spybot Search %26 Destroy and Ad-Aware SE.

Which 1 do you think is the best?

Should i install both of them?

Will installing both of them slow my system down?

Do you know others that you think are better than these 2?

Which is better Spybot Search %26 Destroy or Ad-Aware SE?antivirus

I haven't used Ad-Aware for a number of years, but when I did, I was using them both concurrently. I prefer S%26D for it's sheer amount of features. The development team is alive and well; it receives support. I've interacted with their developers on their support forum and had a good experience. S%26D is also very good protection-wise. If you set it up right, you can ''set it and forget it''. It's nice. Now it runs invisibly, I only go into it when I want to use some of it's advanced features, I don't have to check it or babysit it at all. It updates itself, scans by itself when I'm out of the house, and it just generally all around rocks :) You don't need both; that's a little paranoid/overkill. The more software you have running on your system, the more it will slow down, so no, don't get them both.
They search for two different software types.

My Homepages keep deleting. Why?

Please help me! This is making me very angry! I think my computer has a virus. anybody know of a free ant-spyware anti-virus software? My homepage doesn't stay! It always changes. Please help me!

My Homepages keep deleting. Why?anti virus scan

Yea I know whats wrong. Go to control panel add/remove programs and uninstall whatever 'seems funny' to you like 'banners' 'spyware' once you do restart your pc and set your homepage to whatever it was. If it does not help you with this roll back your computer back to a date where it was working normal with system restore. GOOD LUCK

System clean-up for Macbooks? Avid macbook users, please help!?!?

I just got my macbook yesterday and I was wondering if there's like a system-clean up for it? (I've been a PC user O_0) What about defragmenter? Also what's a good (free) antivirus, spyware scanner should I download? any good recommendations?

Thanks in advance ^_^

System clean-up for Macbooks? Avid macbook users, please help!?!?anti virus software

okay, forgett about all that stuff. You're in the world of mac now. There are 44 known viruses/trojan horses for mac in the entire history, compared to 28330 for pc. So basically, you're not going to need one...

A defragmenter isn't really all that necesaryeither , there is one for free, it's called Idefrag. http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag....

mac os x doesn't have alot of problems with fragmentation of files (files broken into a million parts across your hardrive), only problems with disk fragmentation ( big empty spaces between files). So basically when your harddrive starts getting really full (i'd say about 80%) I'd defrag it.

Any other hints or tricks you need you can pick up on http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html

hope i could be of some help

have fun with your new mac
