Spybot, SAS, MBAM are looking for things other than trojans, virus and such. I know it's hard but today's exploits and infections are so varied that we use a lot of tools to find them all. But your new post reminds me of a pest that was not found by SAS or MBAM. But first. I find Spybot to be dated and don't suggest it any longer. It can also result in slow machines due to interactions with some antivirus programs. ->...

A good resource for learning what to look for when shopping for PC's- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pc-scout/laptop-speed-facts.aspx While I would not consider myself a heavy PC gamer, I have seen plenty of people who bought low-end "gaming pcs" and have been pretty upset with the results. My advice is to do your research and don't try to go cheap. #samsung_links a { text-decoration:none; font-family:arial,helvetica;...

I looked through the programs list and I dont recall installing any programs at the time, yesterday I tried to repair AND reinstall the whole program (Win word MS office pro) but it didnt do anything. Those settings you mentioned, are you talking about general computersettings or settings for specific programs?

I have a HP pavilion ze5000,with Windows XP(client pack 1.0),IE 7, Firefox 3.5.5,Thunderbird 2.0.0.22. It does a myriad of weird stuff,but the 2nd most crazy, maddening thing is that the ID-Password keeper may or may not show up to store new logins AND for already stored passwords it often is missing for long time accounts(like this one-no help for login). It obviously has the program,it simply has these failure to apply or even show up. Can...

I have been running 7 on 3 computers and I have no complaints. this is not to say it is perfect, but it is an improvement over vista AND xp. Better security stack, better hometheater capabilities, faster in many respects. Overall I would say, if your devices are supported, make the plunge. You will not be disappointed. If you are trully smart though, invest in a mac lol

This is the very reason why I don't use Norton because it always lets deadly infections on your computer no matter how up to date it is. After the 3rd time Norton let my computer get infected I stopped using it and starting using free anti virus software avast. Never had any problems since after 4 years.

I would get a second hard drive for 40 -50 bucks and make a copy of my current hard drive once this formatting is done. I would also unplug it from the ribbon cable so it is unaccessible once this cloning operation is done.

Unless that device is functioning properly, it won't show up in the tray. It may be a 1394 (firewire) or wireless device.
