How can I check if I have a virus in the BIOS and what is the difference between formatting and full format in Windows 7?
Hello
Recently I found a rootkit on my computer, especially rootkit.tdss.tdl4. Of after I read that I got one of the best!
I have two questions:
Firstly - how can I check if my BIOS was hit without blinking? I read that this Trojan horse could have started exactly from the BIOS, and very likely to stand again after doing a clean install. I have a laptop HP seems like flashing procedures require to disconnect the disk hard - is this true for laptops?
Second, is how I format to ensure that clean the MBR? I have Vista and want to upgrade to Windows 7. I have Windows 7 upgrade ultimate disc that can do a custom install which should format entirely. Tell me if I think too old school here but should be low (or zero) format is required? From what I've read, the function of full format of Windows 7 should be as powerful as the low level. is that correct? I don't mind the overtime work as long as I don't have any problems (at least with this Trojan) later. I also fear that upgrading Windows 7 disk might not have all the features of formatting as a full version, which is a nonsense?
Thank you very much for your help!

How can I check if I have a virus?
I'm panicking because my last laptop died because of a virus and I don't want the same thing to happen to this laptop. I went on a streaming movie site and my laptop automatically downloaded a file.

How can I check if I have a 32 or 64-bit processor? Compatible with the 32 bit processor 64 bit operating system?
operating system 64-bit to 32-bit operating system, it's because the processor went from 32 bit to 64 bit?
I know that 64-bit is faster and more efficient than the 32-bit processor, but why os 32/64 bit too? OS working elbow-to-elbow with processors?
Could someone explain a little bit. I so want to know. Thank you

No matter what AMD processor once sempron will be 64-bit.(2) No. 32-bit operating systems were once popular is that 32-bit processors cannot run 64-bit operating systems (although the 64-bit processors can run 32-bit operating systems.

I do not have my records (which were for Windows 2000) more to reinstall. The version of Windows XP was installed by a technician that I hired (a student who has moved on somewhere)
Then you will need to speak with the technician who installed Win XP on your OS about your "pirated" version
Where are your original discs? You can reinstall an authentic version of Win XP using them.
Your message is in the forum of the people who use the antimalware MSE program.
You might find a better solution than my suggestion if you publish in or Windows XP http://answers.microsoft.com/en-usto search forum.
Good luck...

How can I check the version of the firmware on the optical drive on Satellite P200
I am a Satellite P200 and my Tempo suggests to download an update of the firmware to TO35, which only works if I TO33/34, how can I check that I have? I tried searching on my machine, but I guess that the firmware is not the thing to appear in searches. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
Hi guys
> How to check the firmware
You can use a 3rd party program like Nero to burn.
Nero presents the version of current firmware of CD/DVD playersThe firmware TO33 or the TO34 should already exist on the TS-L802A drive.
Please check if you have exactly the same drive. TO35 firmware only works with the TS-L802A.If you have an older version of fimware as TO33 then please post here again!
*@Voodoo*
You really have a TS-L802A drive. ? How did you check the firmware version? -

How to calculate the difference between two times by the NUMBERS
I'm so bothered by the fact that I can't understand that.
Cell B2 - 08:00
Cell C2 - 10:50
(How can cell D2 - I get this cell to calculate the difference and say 02:50?)
I know it's probably one of the most basic operations, but for the life of me I can't understand it. The cells B2 and C2 are formatted for a 24-hour clock. But if I tell the system to just subtract the two, I get "0,118. Everything I find on the forum search goes beyond what I need. Can someone help me?
Thank you
Hi sapirs,
Departure and arrival of the cells are in Date and time with Date format: no and time: 24-hour clock.
Formula in D2 (fill down)
= C2−B2
The results become a duration format, but under automatic (numbers automatically worth this format)
If you wish, you can change the cells of lasting results.
What Data Format have your result cells?
Kind regards
Ian.
