How do fundies explain the sudden formation of new viruses like the AIDS virus in the '80'

I mean if evolution doesn't occur on the scale of creating new species, then where did it come from?



How do fundies explain the sudden formation of new viruses like the AIDS virus in the '80's?vincent



They claim: Virus evolution and micro evolution have been proven, but Macro evolution has not. Then they say what evidence. Then they say they trust the word of God in Genesis 1:26-27 and Genesis 2:7.



Non-Fundamentalist Christians interpret those verses as metaphor



How do fundies explain the sudden formation of new viruses like the AIDS virus in the '80's?adware remover



BTW--where did I learn that viruses are ''non-living'' ?? in a biology class taught by an evolutionist. Hey, if that's wrong... okay by me. Report It


They start their dumb answers with, ''In the Bible...''.
The AIDS virus evolves WHILE it infects a person. Thats why it has not been possible to create a vaccine or cure.. Every person has their own constantly evolving version of the virus.



Fundies are not very bright.
Fundies are not interested in any change from the statise quo. To me it seems that they are only interested in things that will further their agenda and don't really care about the rest of humanity unless there is some kind of belief system they wish to force on some part of the population. I'm sure thy would like you to'',just go back too your job and quit thinking so much''

Can routers get infected by viruses?

it seems my lap top loses network connection and im not sure if theres interfearences or viruseson the router . its just not consistant .just goes on and off not sure if the mode or the computer that prvides us networkconnection is goodor not .



Can routers get infected by viruses?virus protection software



Even if routers can be affected by viruses (to say so, is to use ''virus'' in its broadest definition), this possibility would not be a priority in troubleshooting the problem you have.



Rather, you'll want to check your hardware, your network configuration and settings, and your caching (ARP/DNS) first before you start looking for more obscure causes.



Can routers get infected by viruses?adware



no..if u using wireless that happened sometimes...
I have never heard of a virus attacking a router. Try powering off the router and the modem and then power on the modem, wait a minute or so and then power on the router. If using ethernet cables you may want to reseat your cable clips all around.



j
In answer to your question, Yes, routers CAN get viruses.



A router is just a simple computer with a dedicated program. Ever wonder what happened to all those old, unsold Pentium II's when the Pentium III came out? Or the Pentium III's when the Pentium 4 came out? Many found new life in routers. For some routers, that dedicated program runs on stripped down version of Linux.

Does the website peekvid have viruses that will harm your computer?

All web sites have viruses but it depends on what anti-virus protection you have on you computer.If you don't know i would not try the site.

Is it possible to get viruses by downloading videos from google videos to google video player?

Considering the speed with which people come up with new viruses, worms and ways to damage your computer despite all the companies making money off of spam blockers and antiviruses, OH YEAH. If the website is completely secure, and has all current viruses blocked, you can guarantee someone is coming up with a way to defeat their security.



Is it possible to get viruses by downloading videos from google videos to google video player?virus removal



In theory, but Google are careful. Its a lot safer than downloading from a peer to peer!



Use an anti virus that scans incoming info from the web, such as AVG or Avast, they're both free.



Is it possible to get viruses by downloading videos from google videos to google video player?anti virus protection



NO!!!!!!
NO. Google will probably not get a virus on one of its videos for a long time...and i cant imagine anyone who can hate google that. But in all seriousness. The videos up there are in a special new video format called ''flv''. It'll be a while before we here of something going wrong with it because its still new.
May not. But better to be on the safeside. You insatll a standard antivirus soft ware such as Norton, AVG , Avast ( free antivirus software and Ad-aware, Ewido ( free spyware removers). You can download free softwares at

The answer to the ''Can this have a virus'' or ''Can I get a virus by using this'' is always yes. The likelyhood of it happening, on the other hand, isn't very high.

Can supposed missile failures contain viruses that could survive and be carried by prevailing winds?

Viral agents are not well suited for traveling in the wind. Sunlight destroys them quite quickly. Some bacterial agents can be carried by the wind, but again they do not survive well when openly exposed to sunlight.

    Yes.



    Facebook applications can be provided by third parties and aren't vetted by Facebook.



    They can present your browser with malicious code.



    If the browser has a security flaw, that code can infect you with a virus.



    Make sure your browser is kept up to date with security fixes, and run anti-virus software on your computer to help keep your system safe.

    In general, when attacked by viruses, cells?adware remover



    the DNA or RNA of the virus enter the cell and is embodied in the nucleus' DNA ( if it's RNA it turns to DNA first) where it stays for some time deactivated. When the virus DNA is activated, it uses the cell's mechanisms to proliferate itself and produce new viruses. Once the viruses are produced , they destroy the host cell and attack others.

    I have had this program for years on multiple computers and have had 0% issues or troubles with it. Its very easy. There is a scan computer button, you click it, it scans, and then if there are viruses, it puts them in a ''Virus Vault'' which you can clear out.



    Very simple, and has never slowed down my computer either like some have (mind you, most of the time when I do scans, I get off the computer and do something else to let the scanning do its job)

    How do websites give you viruses?antivirus downloads



    Viruses have targeted various types of transmission media or hosts. This list is not exhaustive:



    Binary executable files (such as COM files and EXE files in MS-DOS, Portable Executable files in Microsoft Windows, and ELF files in Linux)



    Volume Boot Records of floppy disks and hard disk partitions



    The master boot record (MBR) of a hard disk



    General-purpose script files (such as batch files in MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows, VBScript files, and shell script files on Unix-like platforms).



    Application-specific script files (such as Telix-scripts)



    Documents that can contain macros (such as Microsoft Word documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, AmiPro documents, and Microsoft Access database files)



    Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in web applications



    Arbitrary computer files. An exploitable buffer overflow, format string, race condition or other exploitable bug in a program which reads the file could be used to trigger the execution of code hidden within it. Most bugs of this type can be made more difficult to exploit in computer architectures with protection features such as an execute disable bit and/or address space layout randomization.

    its winter, of course everyones sick, my two kids have had it for a week , my husband had it. now I have been suffering as well, last night I was in hell with a horrible earache ...real fun!!



    the best way to treat it is lots of rest and a dose of aspirin/ibuprofen when needed



    I used those shower soothers too, they work good
    As you know B I had it last week and the best thing is not to eat anything, drink plenty, preferably water in sips if he is feeling or being sick and take something not containing aspirin for any pain. I was not actually sick but felt very sick and retched a lot, was very cold and then became very hot and delirious. Best to keep him in bed and I do hope he will be feeling better soon.
    I have a chest infection so i am not feeling all that great at the moment so my advice to you is bring the children to the doctor and get medicine and i hope you all get better soon.

    Are laptops more vulnerable to viruses?internet



    A computer and laptop are the same one is just compact. They are vulnerable to the samethings. Downloading yahoo messenger is fine because it is coming from yahoo. If you didnt know where it was comming from then i would be suspicious. The only way to get a virus is to download something. Ad ware and spr ware are to different stories.



    Are laptops more vulnerable to viruses?network



    The type of computer doesn't matter. The operating system is what matters. Regardless of what anyone tells you, ALL operating systems are vulnerable to viruses, some more than others. What I mean by operating system is Windows Vista or Windows XP or MAC OSX or Linux. The best policy to protect against viruses is a good anti-virus, anti-spam and anti-spy-ware program. Frequent scans is also a great idea. Keep doing your scans, make sure you have a good anti-virus program and keep it up to date. You will be fine. You still may get infected but the risk is much much lower.
    doesn't matter if its a laptop or desktop, spybot is for adware/spyware not viruses, you need a virus scanner for that. if you dont't have one try AVG http://free.grisoft.com you can download yahoo messager, i'm sure thats safe
    they are just as venerable as PCs just make sure you have a good anti virus.
    A PC needs 3 types of protection. Anti Virus, Anti Spyware, Firewall.

    How do I disable Outlook as my default email program in Vista?

    I've already unchecked the ''Make Outlook the default program for E-Mail...'' box under Tools...Options...Other...General. And Windows Email is selected as my default email handler. But when I click on an email link on a webpage it still defaults to Outlook instead of Windows Mail. What is going on??

    How can I get Windows Vista Beta?

    I really want to try and get Windows Vista Beta working on my system. I really want to try and test it out. If anyone has either one of the new builds. A product key, or an Invitation ID. I would love to get it please contact me.



    How can I get Windows Vista Beta?microsoft office



    sadly the official microsoft beta trial registration period has ended.



    besides which there are several beta tests in existance so a product key for one may not work on another.



    i can tell you that windows vista is a good operating system and there are still some hardware vendors who have yet to create a VISTA driver for there products.



    so first go to all the websites for the hardware on/ in your system, then download all the VISTA drivers and burn them all to a DVD/CD. Once done get set for one or two hefty file downoloads. if you can actually get a windows VISTA beta.



    the files are in ISO format which means you need a DVD-R to burn the files too and a burning program that supports the ISO format.



    i'm running the x64 version on my system, and i can safely say that my amd sempron 3400 CPU runns better on the x64 platform than it does with xp home.



    besides which there is currently only one security suite vendor listed as an official product support for vista and that is from trendmicro.com called pc-cillin internet security 14 the trend micro beta for vista beta. a damn good security suite.

Oh I would also like to know about how much money will I be spending just in the memory/hard drive and graphics card. Hope someone can help me, thanks!



    I've bought my windows vista for my computer, how much memory and other stuff will I need to add? How much $$?nortan antivirus



    If you want to use the PC you have, keep XP, if you want to use Vista, get a new PC. Your motherboard is REALLY outdated, I had it on a PC with WIN 98 :).



    Try to re-sell or return the Vista and buy just a PC for $350-400 with basic Vista capabilities and the OS pre-installed (or better if you have the money and want to move up to performance).



    If you want to upgrade your memory, you need PC2100 Memory, your PC can take up to 2GB (two slots 1GB each).



    Your processor is almost maxed, the top possibility is a P4 @ 2.4GHz upgrading is pointless. Vista pretty much demands hyperthreading or dual-core, or you'll freeze up non-stop.



    Your graphics is not upgradeable unless you get a basic PCI card for more memory but there's no way to get Vista Aero running smoothly.



    Like the people before me said, it's not worth it.

    Adrian is right you don't have the vista version that includes Flip. The good news is go back to place of purchase and see if they have an update to the version of your choice. You can also try calling or email.

  • Is it possible to recover windows xp from windows.old without removing Vista?

    When I upgraded (psh) to vista i didnt know much about partitions and all that stuff well now i know how to do it but of course its too late! Is their any way to dual-boot with xp from my windows.old folder?



    Is it possible to recover windows xp from windows.old without removing Vista?norten



    No, you can not dual-boot xp and vista but you can uninstall vista and have only xp if you didn't do a fresh install of vista.



    Is it possible to recover windows xp from windows.old without removing Vista?panda



    Sure, you can dual boot, but you have to have XP installed first and then Vista installed on a separate partition.



    However, if you have an XP Old folder you have used an upgrade to install Vista. An upgrade will not leave the old XP install intact, it ''upgrades'' the XP system files and allows you to keep all your old documents and stuff.



    The XP Old folder allows you to revert back to XP, but not use it as an OS along side Vista. So the answer is |''no'' to your primary question, you cannot dual boot in your circumstances.
    you can dual boot xp and vist you can dual boot any operating system

    You partition your hard drive everytime you install a Os. And yeah you need to prepartition to dual boot or know what the partitions are and make sure you have a big enough hard drive to dual boot.

    The best thing here would be to reinstall XP and then UPGRADE to VISTA from XP by using the CD as an UPGRADE CD.



    Good LUCK.



    How can I update Windows XP to Vista?triumph



    You'll have to make sure that your computer fits the requirements to install Vista. You should only have to put the Vista CD in - follow instructions and it will update your computer.
    If you bought the Vista Upgrade version, that version was intended to be started from within Windows XP. I'm not sure the CD is bootable. However one thing that might affect things is the boot drive order, it may not be trying to boot the CD. You should be able to adjust the boot order in the BIOS settings. Check your manual to find out how to get into the BIOS. (Or look for something that says ''press %26lt;key%26gt; to enter setup'' or something.)
    well first, you have to be careful and make sure that your computer is compatible with vista. if it is over a year old, it will probably not be compatible. if it is not, you cannot do anything to change it except buy a new computer. by the way, from some personal experience, i have windows vista, and i think you should wait to get it until they come out with a service pack. on the current version, it still is not optimized and it also takes a while to get fully comfortable with the way the folders are set up and such.
    doooon't install vista! you'll just want to switch back to XP, I promise you this. vista is a crapshoot.
    please please please don't bother vista got too many errors wit until service pack comes out then install

    ANTIBIOTIC OVERPRESCRIPTION: The overuse or overprescription of antibiotic drugs may result in the accelerated adaptation of resistant strains of microorganisms in the patient and the environment. Hospitals are one of the more common breeding grounds for antibiotic resistant bacteria. Antibiotics are often considered a generic treatment, and in many less developed countries are generally sold over the counter without a prescription or specialist advice. Careless use of antibiotics may also have other side effects, such as the death of useful symbiotic bacteria in the gut, or damage to the structure and function of the ear. For example, antibiotics called aminoglycosides (neuromycin, kanamycin, dihydrostreptomycin and vancomycin) may irreversibly damage hearing by attacking the hair of the cochlea, while streptomycin and gentomycin may affect coordination and balance - if continued, nerve deafness may occur.

    Is it ok to delete viruses in quarantine if no trojens are ever found?

    Delete that stuff and never worry. It was placed there by an illegitimate program in the first place. I f by chance your normal progs don't work you can reinstall.



    Is it ok to delete viruses in quarantine if no trojens are ever found?free adware remover



    YES. as a rule of thumb your virus scanner only quarantines items for you to be able to esasily restore if you need to.



    as a rule you should after a malware scan restart your system, then check that all programs are working normally (only if malware is found). if a program reports an error you may find that the file is in the quarantine file.



    if no errors are found with your system after a restart then you can safely delete files from the quarantine location.



    rescan your computer. now if any malware is found then delete it, if not restart your stystem then for good measure repeat the scan again. if no errors or malware found then you can safely run your system as normal.



    good practice should be to check for updates to your virus definitions files at least once a day. once your update has been downloaded and applied you should run a full system scan for malware.

    What is a Nuclear polyhedrosis viruses?

    Nuclear polyhedrosis viruses have been registered in the United States for use against cotton bollworm, Douglas-fir tussock moth, gypsy moth, European pine sawfly, beet armyworm, and alfalfa looper, although none of these is being produced commercially. The U.S. Forest Service and USDA ARS produce and use an NPV for gypsy moth, but do not sell it. The only commercially available NPV in the United States is used primarily in the Netherlands for greenhouse grown flowers.



    What is a Nuclear polyhedrosis viruses?cafe racer



    Colds and flus are the viral enemy of mankind. They plague every waking hour of our existance. They make us sluggish and sore, make us run high fevers, and some may even cause brain damage and/or death. But most are defeated by or immune system, which actively seeks out the virus to destroy it.



    Not so with caterpillars. (As far as I know they have no 'immune system' as we see it.)



    The Nuclear polyhedrosis virus attacks the very cell structure of the caterpillar, rearranging it at the atomic level, forming 'crystals' which are, basically, inanimate and incapable of maintaining life. The process of slowly killing the caterpillar takes close to 3 days. At the end of which the caterpillar will lose all bright coloring, and fade to a murky brown or grey/brown and die. If left alone for long, it will eventually turn black.

    Is it true microsoft send viruses to unlicened windows operating sytems?

    Financially, it doesn't make sense. While they make lose money from potential customers that use an unlicensed copy, the cost of engineering a virus to attack such users outweighs the amount earned if the users had paid. This is the same reason they don't take legal action against individuals that use unlicensed copies (aside from a PR fiasco), there is nothing to gain.

    Well buddy in simple terms, NO, but it is possible for you to configure your anti virus to put all the quarantined files in a folder. But I would suggest you switch on automatic full computer scanning, that will help
    Do not do this, any attempt to move the files into or out of it may activate the virus. The virus vault used by AVG or Norton etc is a specially protected folder which prevents this.

    What's the difference between viruses and bacteria?

    thier spelling..



    What's the difference between viruses and bacteria?computer



    viruses are generally DNA that are free floating. they don't live, so they are not considered as organisms. they reproduce by the means of infecting a cell and inserting their genetic code.



    bacteria, however, are organisms where they multiply by dividing themselves. they infect greatly especially when they are in a large scale. they could also be killed by using antibiotics.



    What's the difference between viruses and bacteria?free spyware



    Viruses are smaller, and can't reproduce by themselves, they need to infect a cell and to paste its genetic material to the cell, so the cell copies it and makes the viruses. Viruses are generally round in shape and have molecules to stick to the cell walls and infect it.



    Bacteriae are bigger, and reproduce by themselves. Their shape can be chained (streptococci), grapefruit (staphylococci) coma (vibrio) and rod (bacillus)
    bacteria can generally be killed with antibiotics where as viruses can't.
    Viruses are generally considered inanimate carbon, that are technically not alive until they enter a host cell and begin to reproduce. Bacteria are actually living cells that usually infect by consuming the host cells and releasing waste toxin.

    Is internet explorer loaded with viruses? is firefox better?

    You can get viruses from any browser or emails mostly, but any Microsoft product is a major target for viruses. This is partly due to the fact that Microsoft products are more widely used and partly because people don't like the Microsoft monopoly so spend their time trying to make Microsoft miserable. Try firefox and see how you like it. I use a different browser but find that I have to use Internet Explorer for some things.



    Is internet explorer loaded with viruses? is firefox better?computers



    Any browser can be infected with a virus....it's up to the user to ensure they have good security programs to prevent viruses/trojans/worms/adware etc and to keep them fully updated.



    Firefox also had more security bugs in September than IE.

    I'd doubt it because Microsoft make it, however it has flaws that can be breached.
    Firefox is considered better because it doesn't run ActiveX applets, which is how a lot of virii and spyware make it on your system. Firefox is a good browser (I'm using it right now), but it does have its own set of issues.
    Internet Exploder is more susceptible to problems, if you want proof check it out.

    Your friend has listed your name as Spam. Actually, your name would only go in bulk mail and then your friend would mark it as spam. Ask you friend to remove your name from the spam list. They are the reason, not you. I would suggest that you change your name. Maybe what you are sending them is being put in bulk mail because they have the anti-virus program and maybe some of your emails have a potential for virus. Good luck.

    Can cats pass colds or Viruses amongst each other?

    I posted earlier about one of my cats possibly having a cold, but the other one isn't having any symptoms is it possible that they will keep passing it back and forth to each other?



    Can cats pass colds or Viruses amongst each other?free adware remover



    Well , yes and no. Viruses can pass between members of their own species, but usually once you have one virus run its course, then you are immune to that virus-you don't catch it a second time. Cats can get herpesvirus infections that flare up in times of stress, symptoms are like a cold. This year is very very bad for allergies here in the Midwest and that can cause cold-like symptoms that recur too.



    It's not likely that you'll give your cat a cold, or they will give you one, because it's rare for a virus to be able to affect more than one species.



    Can cats pass colds or Viruses amongst each other?internet security 2006



    Yes. Just like humans.
    cats can pass colds to eachother and certain viruses. be careful and make sure they dont fight or fight other cats because my cat recently died because of a virus similar to aids, but for cats.
    Cats can pass on sickness to humans and among each other just like human beings
    yea sure cats can transfer sickness to each others, but rarely to humen beings, try to keep your sick cat away from other cats till she is cured, but if you are not certain that is really cold, then you have to permenatly keep her away, read about feline leukemia viruses which is very contagious and unrecoverable and may lead to death.

    anti biotics only treat infections not virus related illness....



    Why are antibiotics ineffective against viruses? (i know part of the question but my teacher wants it more.)?internet security



    antibiotics interrupt the basic biological functions of bacteria.



    different antibiotics work in different ways, for example erythromycin(sp?) stops bacteria from making protein by binding to the ribosomes, and beta-lactams(sp?) interrupt cell wall cross linking (not to be confused with the capsule, so ignore a previous answer!).



    viruses are not living organisms - they have no biological systems to interrupt.



    viruses invade other cells and subvert the target cells biological functions to replicate more of themselves.



    if we created an antibiotic which worked against viraly infected cells, we would be creating an antibiotic which worked against our own cells



    ----UPDATE----



    just read william i's link



    this is b*llocks! the chap who wrote this had an education in medicine, but there are many, many flaws in this article! please feel free to email me and I can point out the multiple schoolboy errors!
    Because it also kills the good bacteria which, in turn, makes you less immune to the diseases. Also, bad bacteria is growing to be immune from the antibiotics because humans use them so often.
    Some antibiotics are ineffective against viruses because your body's defence system is different to some other peoples. different antibiotics treat different things. so maybe that is why some antibiotics are ineffective against viruses.
    http://www.jonbarron.org/newsletters/05/... this should help u out go to this link
    Antibiotics do things like interfere with the ability of bacteria to synthesise their capsule substance. Since viruses work by hijacking host cell machinery, interfering with that would be equivalent to poisoning the host.
    the simple answer is that antibiotics can kill living things such as bacteria but because viruses are not living things, it has no affect. this is why there has never been a cure for ANY illness that is caused by a virus. Such as the common cold or AIDS. both are caused by viruses. A virus has to run its course, THAT is the only cure!!

    MySpace users in general aren't the smartest and often click links where they download keyloggers, trojans, etc. The best way to stay safe is to just not click the links and browser with a good browser (IE7 with the add-on IE7Pro is perfect) that has an add-blocker.



    As for anti-virus/spyware protection, I'd go with NOD32 Smart Security or regular Anti-virus/spyware suite.
    no and if so

    One of the first things to do when you suspect malware is DISABLE System Restore.



    If enabled, this allows malware to hide in the computer and re-install itself.



    So, to disable it, RIGHT-click on ''My Computer.'' Select ''Properties'' then under the 'System Restore' tab, check 'Turn off system restore' IF not already checked.



    The next most helpful things that would help you are to use ONLINE scanners from websites to remove any malware on your PC.



    The current best online scanners I prefer are from Kaspersky antivirus and Bitdefender antivirus. Together, these 2 scanners will find ALL the bad stuff on your PC because they have the BEST detection rate.



    First, use Kaspersky's. (FYI: ALL these scans require you to agree to a EULA and install an activex control which is needed to perform the scan, so agree to them all.)



    *NOTE: Some scanners ONLY work with IE or may not fully remove malware



    http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner... (KAV)



    Then scan with:



    http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html...



    There are MANY other good online scanners which you may choose to also use (which will take longer but ensure safety):

    i do not think so you have to use the windows firewall to remove all of it but there is a possibility it will cover it and after you reinstall windows it will have covered the old windows that you used to have but if it doesnt you can always delete the files that you think caused much problems. my computer also had the recovery disc installed in xp but i accidentally deleted it in vista. anyway just try what i said reinstall and try to delete the files that you did not need causin viruses to your computer

    Why do people start computer viruses???

    At one time viruses, spyware and other malware were mostly written by script-kiddies (mostly pimply-faced male adolesents) as a form of vandalism.



    These days are unfortunately long gone.



    Today it's all about making money.



    For example a website that somehow ''gave'' you an unwanted toolbar, would earn a small commission.



    But a simple toolbar is reletively benign. The big money is made in compromising thousands of computers and putting them into a single ''botnet'' These nets of zombie computers contain tremendous computing power and can be used to extort money from legitimate web-sites using a distrubuted denial of service attack.



    Much of the spam that clogs our inboxes also is sent from these zombie machines, thousands per hour per machine and the actual owner of the computer is blissfully unaware of the fact. But the attacker and controller of the botnet makes a great living selling his underground e-mail server service on the black market!



    Of course, since a fully compromised computer gives the attacker TOTAL control over it, it becomes trival task to mine these computers for bank account numbers, passwords, credit account numbers, identities, social security #s, etc.



    And the list goes on and on.



    Perhaps Eugene Kaspersky, founder of anti-virus maker Kaspersky Labs said it best, '' It's a different world today. 10 years ago, we were fighting against smart kids who hacked as a hobby. Now, we're dealing with criminal gangs that control your computer to make money. Different world, different protections.''

    Sounds to me like your computer is using all it resources to scan for viruses. I use Windows One Care and when it scans I cant even tell its running or scanning.



    Anyway right click on your tool bar and go to the ''Task Manager''



    See what percentage your cpu is. The higher the percentage, the more system resources you re using.



    Alot of the reasons why system resources are high is usually in your start up. If you or, more than likely, your kids download alot this usually sets up a start up icon in the bottom right hand side of your toolbar. The more thing you have set up to run when Windows start, example Yahoo Messenger, the longer it takes your to computer start, then when you have something important to do, like scan for viruses, the more your virus protection has to scan and share system resources, your processor.



    What I would do, if it were me, reformat your hard drive and reinstall Norton first thing when your system is back up and running. Then as you reinstall other software, like Yahoo Messenger, dont let it run when Windows starts. Then your computer will not only start faster, it will run any program you want to run, like a virus scanner faster too.



    Norton is a bad piece of software to buy anyway so is Mcafee. When your subscription is up on Norton, try Windows One care. Its free for 90 days and you can put it on up to 3 different computers legally.

    Because you have Norton AntiVirus, that's why. It's bloated and ''heavy'' and notorious for crippling even proper gaming rigs. There are other good, and free, antivirus programs out there like Avast, AVG and AntiVir.
