Harley, sometimes viruses are hidden and sometimes your virus scan doesn't detect them and then they say 0.. I had that a number of times.. what virus scan do you use?

We eventually ended up cleaning the entire harddrive.. re - installing everything... Or may defragmentation also works?

But i am not an expert on this.. hope someone else may give you the golden solution :-) Goodluck!

Rabbitoid: I purchased my laptop just a few months ago and it has an AMD Athlon(tm)64 Processor 3000+ and I find it a pretty fast system..

Thanks Rabbitoid for all this info.. My computerinfo is telling me that mine has 350MHz, 512 MB of RAM.. so guess its okay for now :-)

Rabbitoid: what do you mean with: XP is very memory hungry? Does that mean that its memory is full quickly? On what level? Playing these games here, does that influence its memory? and what can i do to "feed" XP?? ;-)

LOL! @ Bumble.. welcome to computerworld! They keep surprising you.. but Im glad its solved for ya! ;o)

Okay.. so the more users are using the page, the wider bandth you need!

LOL - I wasn't concerned about Stevie's video's until you mentioned it ;O)

LOL @ Aragon.. Looks like selfstudy! Great! Like the site.. thanks! :-)

@ brainking.com they talk about band width.. i just like to have an update on knowledge about band width, thats why i start talking about it here..

120 - 130GB what does that mean exactly? Would that be the capacity of data that is able to go over the wires? And... is that much? :o)

ThAnk You!! That looks very interesting :-) Everyone who needs a ping or tracert: let me know.. like the old days! ;O)

Remember i had all those issues on this pc here? Well, I found a solution! :-) I bought this


>Compaq Notebook


NOTE: I found it cheaper in the store! I cannot wait for it to be delivered at my house :O)

When I used to register domain names and took care of technical problems I remember somewhere online is a "nslookup" took to do tracert on IP addresses.. but I cannot remember the site which i used.. :o( BUt perhaps anyone from you remembers it?

and thank you: BBW, Vitalik, Bernice, bumble, for your support and info and all the sites given.. I hope the pc will stay alive so that i can read everything without being afraid that it'll dies on me.. I'll keep you updated!

You are a life saver!! Thanks, will do it right away!

I think i better read back on this board.. seems like Niki had the same problems i have! And those Trojan virusses i had a lot of them.. don't know if they are gone though..

but... where to start??

Since 2 weeks i encounter pc problems.. get unwanted pop ups - even after downloading McAfee Virusscan and security 8.0 on my pc and yet it doesn't work well!! :o(

Today I again got warnings on this screen from BK, that my pc has dangerous spyware etc & I have no idea where that comes from... looks like from BK, because not a new browser pops up, but right on the screen here... if i click on Back i get back on the previous screen..

Anyone knows whats going on or what i should do? I should better re-install Windows 98, right? But if someone here has the time, please advise me or write a path for me what to do first, second, third.. I really need help!!

Could it be that by playing these games the memory gets full?

Thanks so much in advance..
