My computer keeps getting pop ups and it says something about malware, any suggestions on getting rid of this?nortin

If you have a problem with pop ups it means you have spy-wares or malwares that they have infected your computer.

Install ''Ad-aware 2007'' or another anti-spy-ware program.

My computer keeps getting pop ups and it says something about malware, any suggestions on getting rid of this?pc security

do you have a popupblocker turned on in your browser?if so, you need to use a reliable spy ware removal program, counterspy is a good one and you can get it free for 30 days but is well worth the investment when you do have to pay for it
Pop-ups are mostly caused by ad ware, spy ware, and other malicious and unwanted software.

That is smitfraud...Get smitfraudfix by looking on google...or download.com Good luck!
Do not download or buy anything the pop ups are telling you because they are trying to scam you. Download Rogue Remover to scan to computer for rogue applications and remove everything it finds.

Is there a company that is NOT using the ';green'; thing as a marketing ploy?

Is there a company that is NOT using the ''green'' thing as a marketing ploy?

I just got an email from Symantec that said ''Go Green with Norton and save.'' Uh, what does anti-virus software have to do with the environment?

Is there a company that is NOT using the ''green'' thing as a marketing ploy?norton 360

What's especially annoying is that there is no clear standards for ''green.'' It might mean that it doesn't harm the environment, but it could also mean that it doesn't harm the environment as much as something else. It could also mean that the company manufacturing the ''green'' product uses recycled plastic garbage bags in its corporate office, thus saving the environment...

Is there a company that is NOT using the ''green'' thing as a marketing ploy?photoshop

You have some very good answers here.

I agree that the Green movement seems to be a bit trendy at the moment and that there is not clear definition or standard as to what constitutes ''green practices.''

Like ''Made in America'', the Green concept will enjoys its heyday as a marketing ploy until the next big idea comes along to supplant it.

If I were you, I'd contact Symantec and ask them how they justifiy their message to you. I'd love to hear how they respond to you. Congratulations for keeping them on their toes.
Not talking specifically about anyones product but if a 'fad' is saving the environment as opposed to destroying it... I personally don't care if they market themselves as 'green'. I hope every company gets on this band wagon and rides it as long as possible.
As long as people respond to ''green'', marketers will use it. Periodically, you see ''Made in America'' campaigns. Fads come and go, although ''green'' may be a particularly long-lived fad.

Can't view videos on You Tube?

Never had any issues in the past - the only thing different is I now have avast as my anti virus software as opposed to norton.

I can go into the site, and see video thumbnails but when I click on a video to watch it comes up with a blank space - all comments etc can be seen etc, so screen looks normal apart fromblank space where video should be. Not trying to look at anything dodgy so no reason for any block etc.

BTW I can view videos etc on other sites eg. newpapers bbc etc

Any help greatfully appreciated!

Thanks

How to install AVG without uninstalling norton??

so norton expired, I need to install a new anti-virus software that works....? AVG requries to unintall norton first, but can i just disable norton without unintalling it?

How to install AVG without uninstalling norton??norton antivirus 2007

From everything I've ever read about Norton, it's unlikely that it will let you get away with simply disabling it. Heck, it doesn't even want to cooperate with another antivirus when you do a conventional uninstall... you often have to use the Norton Removal Tool!

How to install AVG without uninstalling norton??product key

You can't , they interfere with each other if you install both thats why program won't let install it. Just uninstall norton. A virus program that gets updates is better than a virus program that doesn't get updates.

P.S.- you'll love how your computer runs after you uninstall Norton.
That is the result of softwre conflict, if you wanna more than one antivirus in your system it may slower down. In my view you should uninstall nortan first than install AVG. After this upgrade the virus data base from internet.

Happy Computing..........
Norton is worthless...I know...lost two pc's with it.AVG is great stuff,,,had for a few years,,,nothing gets through it.
if you want 2 antivirus at one time, use avg and avira. i've been using them in my laptop for almost 6 months now. not have to worry about virus anymore.

I am having trouble with pulling up the Vampirefreaks.com website.?

I signed up for an account. Then today when I tried to check it I entered the wrong password, when I went to fix it the webpage no longer came up. I am not having trouble with ANY other site. When I type the address into the browser it takes a long time to react, then it reroutes me to Google with links for the site, when I click that, it tells me ''Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage''. I do not have anti-virus software, and my brother just did a recovery on his computer. I was having some issues viewing the site prior but at least I could view it before. Would this be something wrong from my end? Or does the site have an issue? Thanks for your help! ^^

What does it mean when a balloon just popped up in my bottom right taskbar saying my virtual memory

it said it was increasing space for page files or something and then went away, is it something I need to worry about. As an FYI, I recently installed a new Norton Anti-virus software.

What does it mean when a balloon just popped up in my bottom right taskbar saying my virtual memory is low?norton ghost

First uninstall Norton's, it's a scar on your computer. Get something free like Avast, AVG, and/or Windows Defender.

Now, to adjust your virtual memory:

go to control panel:

System, Advanced, Performance Settings, Advanced, Virtual Memory

You can now adjust your virtual memory. Move it up just a little bit. The best thing to do, though, would be to not use as many programs at once. That's what eating up your memory.

What does it mean when a balloon just popped up in my bottom right taskbar saying my virtual memory is low?software

Ususally it means that there are too many items starting up when you start your computer. Check your tray (over by the clock) and change when the program starts.
Sounds like it might be time to run your defrag program. After I did that I had 1/3 more memory on my laptop.
Hello:

Virtual memory is your memory paging file. That's the file is uses to extend your physical RAM. It's usually called ''pagefile.sys'' and is located, normally, at the root of your system drive.

Do you think this is flirting?

i asked this guy i know to advise me on which anti virus software i should download on my computer. he told me one and said ''just dont enter credit card stuff on it or go on porn and it will be fine....''

i replied and said '' i expect u would know about goin on porn'' then he goes ''tbh i bet u do 2''.. is that a flirtatious reply from him or not?

Do you think this is flirting?norton internet security 2008

I think he was dropping the hint that he would like to see your porn collection. I'll bet if you show him yours then he will show you his.

Do you think this is flirting?spyware removal

I think you flirted with him 1st then he replied to that. I agree that it depends how he said it if it was flirty or not, if he was laughing it was more a friendly comment, if he gave a smile defenately flirting!!
Yes, but you started it.
I agree with Xai above. Yes it is, but after what you said, what exactly did you expect him to say?
Yeah, but you flirted first.
accusing someone of looking at porn is flirtatious? yeah, and romantic.
I think it depends more on how he said it?

If he was laughing about it, it may be a more

friendly vibe. But if he was smiling, then it

probably was meant to be more flirty. If I'm

wrong, my bad, but that's how it is for me =]
hey baby
you started the flirting by asking him about the porn but sure never worry its good to flirt
harmless flirting unless you like him and he dont like you or he likes you and you dont like him then some 1 could get hurt but if you dont no but yes tht was flirting but dont worrie about it

You can get rid of it in 2 ways.

Get TuneUp utilities and use their utility to remove programs. You can get a fully functional version for 30 days for free from http://www.tune-up.com.

Otherwise, follow the instructions from Symantec the manufacturer on how to remove it http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsg...

Pegasus email client?

I down loaded the Pegasus Email Client to my machine and noticed immediately that pop-up ads begun shorty after I opened my IE browser, so I uninstalled this crappy pegasus and still had the same problem. I scanned my system with my ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE(COMPUTER ASSOSISTES) and it did not even find this problem.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue with pop-ups as the result of download this expletive , pegasus?

Pegasus email client?nortonantivirus

I doubt that Pegasus is responsible for popups, and suspect it's a coincidence. Look for the popup blocker setting in IE, or do a search for popup blockers - I'm sure that there's a free one out there.

I need to turn off my routers security of something.....?

Ok I play halo 1 on my computer a lot but i got a new wireless router and now it wont let me host any games. If i switch back to my old one which is just a modem with output for 1 computer it will let me host, but i need the wireless router cuz there are more computers in the house, but it wont let me host. i think its cuz theres some security on the router that is stopping me. so i need to turn it off. i have a windows firewall and stuff on my computer along with my own anti virus software and i have made sure that they make excetpions for halo, its only when i hook up the router that i have problems, so how do i fix it. help me out im stressing out here.

I need to turn off my routers security of something.....?noton

Microsoft has some tips:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829469

I do not know your router interface but these ports need to be un-blocked to play:

By default, Halo connects to the Internet through the following ports: 鈥?80 (Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)) 鈥?Auto-update looks for and downloads updates through this port.

鈥?2302 (User Datagram Protocol (UDP)) - Game host listens on this port.

鈥?2303 (UDP) - Game client connects to host through this port.

Hope that helps

I need to turn off my routers security of something.....?stinger

By unblocked, he means that you need to enable those ports in the port forwarding section of your router interface, which can likely be accessed by typing in your gateway ip address into your web browser's address bar.

ONce you get in safe mode delete the graphics card. Then start the system back up, if the system can go into windows normal then reload the graphics card drivers. If after you reload the drivers for the graphics card then you might be in a new world of having to either find older drivers for the card or just getting a new graphics card.

Why does my computer show a Blue Screen for only a half a second, then doesn't start up?systemworks

Udate your antivirus and scan your coputer in safe mode. After you remove virus, I recommend you use firefox browser. It is safer than IE. It can prevent viruses such as worm,trojan and etc. The newest official edition of firefox can be downloaded from http://www.mollzia.com
Could be a problem with device drivers , hardware or software . This problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes . From http://fixit.in/bluescreenofdeath.html

608 MB (72% Utilized)?

my memory is 608 MB (72% Utilized) even when all i'm running is a internet site yahoo messenger and anti virus software. my system runs slow is this normal or can i free up some mb?

608 MB (72% Utilized)?security

The cause of high CPU usage is usually do to an excess of services running in the background. The is not uncommon when you are connected to the net because other services will use you connection opportunity to silently update an perform other actions. You should cut down on the amount of services running in the background. Here is how.

1. Open your Start menu.

2. Click Run

3. In the command screen type: msconfig

4. In the ''system configuration utility'', Click ''services'' tab

5. Uncheck all services that are unnecessary.

6. Click ''OK''

Karz is right on. You can google each process name and learn something about it. It can tell you if its malware or a virus or a kosher process. You can also make note of how much ramm its eating up. I found that many processes were involved with my Panda AV. It ate up so much ramm I didn't renew my AV with them and tried Computer Associates and it when from something like 550mb total used upon a fresh boot to about 330mb. Nice eh,...especially since I only had 512 and it was shared with the video ramm.
i it's the RAM you mean, you can buy a chip or two and plug into the motherboard, that helps. The main reason is that windows has some strange ways to organize its memory, and it does not organize it wery effectivly. Furthermore, an antivirus program uses a LOT of memory, especialy if you got many programs in the systemtray (the lower right of your screen). and there is usally more programs running in the background that uses memory. Spyware causes this kind of problems. Get yourself a good program to get rid of those.

The best thing that helps, is to back up your data and format the harddrive and reinstall windows.
Ctrl-Alt-Del to open Task Manager. Click on Processes tab and look for the processes with your user name on it. These are the processes that you could opt to end or disable in msconfig. Your computer slows down when one or more of those processes try to ''steal'' your processor's attention while you are working on something.

Do not touch any of the system processes.
