Hi, I’m buying a laptop. I have two virus protection programs on my computer, and I wanted to know if it’s possible to transfer one to the other computer using bonjour or something so I dont have to buy another. I have mcafee and malwarebyte’s
I’m looking to buy a laptop under 0, hopefully a Mac, slightly used or new, with capacity for Photoshop CS3 and a decent amount of memory. I’m a senior in highschool and my computer has basically crashed due to the WIndows XP AntiVirus 2008 Virus, and I’ve tried at least twenty different methods of getting the virus off and nothing seems to work.
I’ve resorted to just buying a laptop, but it definitely needs to be able to hold Photoshop.
Any ideas?
Thank you guys so much!

EDIT:
Thank you for the advice– I was originally just going to get it wiped clean, but my parents were saying it would cost somewhere around 0. From what you’re saying, though, it should cost about 0 and save me a lot of trouble.
Thanks again!
I’m buying a laptop and not sure what to get. I really love how the macbook looks, but this is what i wish for in a laptop:
-fast, good quality, not many viruses
-Good battery life
What I’ll be using my laptop for:
-Internet
-Movies (travel)
-Writing
-Itunes
-Virtual gaming *maybe*- ex: second life
I also wish to download safari.
I want to use this laptop for school (writing assignments), and i want it last, i don’t want a crappy one. I like the Apple brand, and they have great service, whereas Dell doesn’t. I have a Dell desktop, and it’s not that it’s bad, but when i decided to purchase it, what attracted me to them was their cheap price, l(799.99.) But i ended up paying like 00.00 b/c i got sucked in by the sales guy, who said to me "well you also need this, and that……" and ever since i regretted not buying a laptop. And my friend bought a Dell laptop, and within 4 months of having it, she got a virus, and they couldn’t repair it for her. I am only considering the dell b/c of it’s prices, and people tell me it’s good. I have never had a laptop, so i wanted to ask people who have had experience with purchasing various laptops before.
Thank You
I’ll be off to Uni for my degree in Oct 09 and am planning on buying a laptop. Should I buy a Windows based PC or a Macbook? I’ve been usng windows all my life(never tried a Mac) and I do have a desktop at home which runs xp pro. What I need on the laptop, word, excel, powerpoint, pdfs, email, wireless for surfing and access Uni intra net, soundless keyboard + a resonably light weight portable one would be great. Whilst my budget is very flexible, I will not be using it for gaming, watching dvds, trendy style to show off or attract theives, extra features which runs programs ‘nano’ secs faster but obviously won’t help me getting a 1st.(class honour) As far as I know there will not be any special degree related software which I need to install. However I’ll need to transfer files to and thro my home desktop and laptop. What is Vista like compared to XP? Should I get one with XP? And is Mac OS Leopard(?) easy to pickup? Acer and Fujitsu ones are really reasonably priced(from £350) and Dell ones seemed to be very attractive too. Why are Mac relatively expensive?(from £670?) Are they better?(for students) What about battery life? Some people say you don’t get viruses on Mac’s, is that true? Please share your experience/opinion, esp those who are studying/teachin/reasearching at Uni’s. Thank you for reading.
I’m buying a laptop now. I’m not sure if i should go with a Mac or a standard notebooks. I like the Mac video editing features and the photobooth stuff and how it is not as prone to viruses as other laptops. I need one with a lot of memory, the standard applications like a writing application etc., and something that I can download applications easily on. But are Macs really hard to use? Are applications more geared towards PCs than Macs?
thanks in advance.
