This morning i turned on my laptop (HP, vista home premium), logged on and it said: windows has encountered a critical problem. it will log off. save your work. then sometimes it says error and sometthing else then the computer restarts so i can only stay logged on for about 10 seconds. I’ve tried system restore and start up recovery but it says it can’t do it automatically.I’m sure its infested with viruses because i was using a norton free trial and it eventually expired and was gonna soon buy the full lversion, plus i had been installing software last night. any suggestions of what i can do? I’ve only had this laptop 2 months i cant bear the thought of having to buy a new one. (I’m using my dads laptop now just in case your wondering lol)
Sorry I forgot to say that i didnt download the norton thing, it came with the computer. at the time of buying my laptop i didnt have enough money too buy norton with it but installed on it was a 30 day free trial. i hadnt installed any other virus protection programme.

I have found popups say I have volnurabilities, I buy their product and my system crashes or I can’t get videos through the media either newsgroups or the latest movies and entertainment. How do I know if something is bad or not? either an import or an export. I want to know if Yahoo has adequate virus protection or do I need to go elsewhere like Norton’s?

I bought a laptop with McAfee virus protection already on it. I have had the laptop for a couple of years now and have not continued this virus protection. I was using Avast virus protection (free online download) for awhile, until I got a virus and ended up buying Webroot to get rid of the virus. The virus is now gone but whenever I turn my laptop on, McAfee always pops up and says that part of it is incomplete. It is annoying because it keeps popping up about every 2 minutes. I tried to go into add/remove programs and remove McAfee but it will not allow me. I click on the "remove" box, the hourglass thing appears for a second but nothing happens. Any help on removing the program would be appreciated. I no longer need it since I have Webroot Anti virus.

I hve got so many viruses on my new laptop and now i need to wipe it clean and start again.
I have backed up all my music, photos and school work but now I need make sure i use the recovery disk properly.
I’ve never had to do this.
Do i just put it in and boot from dvd drive? I want it fully cleared so i can start again with virus protection from the start.
If no one knows how to help with this problem. Can someone please tell me if i am able to format the hard drive without putting vista back on? so I can buy a new copy and install it the normal way? Or maybe I could install XP instead…

My laptop is right now in a horrible condition. I get a pop up literly every minute. Atleast once a day my laptop just exits out whatever I’m on. My internet speed is about a third of what it should be. Now I don’t know if I should just go buy a new virus protection thing to get rid of all my laptop’s viruses, or is it too late for it and I should just save up for a new computer? Any advice on good anti-virus software?

Hi can someone please help me.. ok so this is my problem I bought an acer laptop about almost five months ago and it came with mcafee virus protection trial and it expired but then I moved around the time I lost mcafee and then I got Concast and got Mcafee again b/c they offer it free to costumers. So then today I was using my laptop and all of sudden I got a pop up saying that I had 8 viruses(which was the first time I’ve ever gotten a virus) so I did a scan with windows defender and Mcafee and both said that there was nothing there but now this pop up keeps on popping up it’s called Extra Antivirus and it has a shortcut and is on the bottom panel of my laptop as well but I kept on deleting it and it won’t go away and it’s not in my programs(I tried to look for it there but it’s not there) is there anyway to get rid of it and if there is how?please help.

I just bought a new HP pavillion laptop and I want it to last as long as possible. I use it for about 12 hours every day for work (typing documents). Should I shut it down completely overnight? Will that wear it out faster though?

Also, any other tips for making it last longer??? (I have virus protection).

I have "Spy Guard 2008" on my computer (I do believe it’s malicious spyware stuff) and I need to get rid of it and it’s components. I want to BUY a top notch virus cleaner/protector for WINDOWS XP. I haven’t had a paid subscription to virus protection for a couple years now. I need something spectacular that will clean my computer and protect me.

Should I buy Norton or McAfee? Which versions? Or is there something else out there that would fit my situation? Please be honest, and I appreciate your help! PS-
I think the one I have installed on my computer is McAfee, but it hasn’t been renewed since I first bought my computer.
Any sites that have to do with virus protection WON’T LOAD! It keeps saying "page error"….what does this mean?!?!
Tried installing the search and destroy spyware…got this message:

"error sending request.
a connection with the server could not be established."
Please email me at zzzonkout@aol.com for any more info if you already answered the question

use the internet service/set up an e-mail address with the main provider? I recently purchased a new computer (an inexpensive eMachine). The computer seems to have internet service through Google which I don’t really use and I have not set up an e-mail account with Google. I do have e-mail with Yahoo and through Comcast Cablevision which is my major provider/the one I am paying for. Both Comcast and Yahoo already have spyware/virus protection with their service. If I don’t set up an e-mail address through the Google account, do I need to install the "temporarily" free antivirus software (or go buy it elsewhere) that the computer keeps prompting me to do?

I just bought a laptop and well…since it’s my first laptop I really have no clue what to do.
I don’t have virus protection yet, but I do have a 60 day trial and all that good stuff when you buy a new laptop. The parents want me to buy all the stuff I need first….Microsoft office word etc. and virus protection, a bag…and so on.
Also…how do I get internet outside of my house? wireless cards and such?
I’m kind of a neurotic and clueless at the moment about what to do. I don’t want to mess anything up.

so i went and bought virus/spyware protection and downloaded it and run virus scans on my computer everyday or every other day. but almost every time i go to a website, i still web pages popping up advertising some random thing, even with pop-up blocker. also random times my computer screen will go blank except for my background on my desktop, icons and all so i will have to restart my computer……all i know to do was get virus protection from best buy so im not sure if there is still somethin wrong or not.

A few days ago I my anti-virus software (McAfee) detected and cleaned a Trojan on my computer. I scanned all my files and it found 3 more infected files, which we causing me to have numerous popups on my computer. I’ve scanned my computer probably 10 times in the best 3-4 days and although it says the system is clean I’m still getting popups and my computer’s acting weird. My McAfee will not open, and when it finally does, it won’t enable virus protection or allow my system to be scanned. When I open my computer’s history, I see links that claim to be internet pages that appear with the title ‘NDrBC’ and usually comes with a number (1-9) following the ‘C’. For example, one file is NDrBC3.tmp. It says this file is stored on my local disc in my Local Settings under ‘Temp’. I am pretty sure this is a virus, can anyone confirm this for me? Should I try to manually delete these files, or should I buy complete new antivirus software, and what do you suggest? Price is not an issue. Thanks!

I bought a laptop to take on a cross country trip and need to know if by having Trend as a firewall and virus protection, if my information will be protected when using hotel wireless internet connections. I think I remember something about having to set up a virtual network, but have no clue as to know how to do it. Any input will be much appreciated.
