I have a new Sony laptop and installed AVG free. I'm getting multiple virus threat
I'm a threat of virus for the preinstalled screen savers. The file is too big to put in quarantine. What can I do?
Hello
Once you are sure that the machine clean:
AVG might be a part of the problem because 8.x and 9.x together have been responsible for questions. If you
want to uninstall it then also run the AVG removal tool to avoid problems causing leftovers
were left behind. The following recommendations to use the test even better all the time.

===============================
Here's what I use and recommend:
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.
Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.
Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)
Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download
Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4
Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->
PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp
Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
I hope this helps.

I have a new laptop Toshiba and when I type my cursor will move to a different place at random. The keyboard is equipped with a blue trackball (mouse) in the middle of it, and I think that it may cause the problem. How can I disable it? I don't want to disable my mouse pad, just the blue ball.
Thank you

Hello
Check with Toshiba Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask in the forums of Toshiba.

There may be a program that runs in the tray near the clock in the bottom right that controls the
device. Some Toshiba models have the keys of the map at the top of the screen (move the mouse all the way to)
up to see if your model has this feature) which allows control on some devices. Some models
have (usually indicated on the key cards) shortcut keys that control input devices.If nothing else works, try Control Panel - double - mouse and other pointing devices - devices Manager
Click the device - driver tab - Disable. I would use this as last resort than the other options possible
allow you to activate and deactivate the device much easier.I hope this helps.

I CS5.5 Master Collection and you want to transfer to a new laptop. The CS5.5 was an update for CS3 Design standard and I have all the disks and serial numbers. I just uninstall both programs a laptop and install them on the other?
You can do it, but you don't have to install cs3 in order to install your upgrade of cs5.5.
You can launch the installation of cs5.5 and you will be asked your cs5.5 serial number. Setup will ask you then select the product (in a drop-down list) calling. Select cs3 and you will be prompted for the serial number for cs3.
Enter the correct number at the right time and to proceed with the installation.
If you no longer need these programs on your old laptop, disable (help > deactivate) before uninstalling so that you can keep your two activations.

I have a new Mac Pro and iMac, I want to install CS5 on them. I can do this, and if not what is my best option. I mainly use Photoshop later. Thank you!
Personally, I would install just without turning off. Worst thing that will l be happen you will need to disable a. Does not mean that you must uninstall just disable and when you need it, just disable one of the other and activate the current. But I assume CS5 because he is not yet supported most probably don't even follow the activations. I'm guessing the last part but when trying to install and activate without disabling one will not harm what anyone,.

Your new PC must have provided with software to play. Otherwise, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if she did or why it didn't.

I have a Sony E-Reader. Can I transfer books from my library of books I have on my Sony camera and likewise my Sony camera to my library of books I?
I believe that if you open iBooks, you can drag and drop books from your library on the desktop of your Macbook. It will export the books as an Epub file, you can install on your Ereader as you normally would.
I think that you open your Ereader in Finder and drag and drop it in the folder it. At least this is how I do it on my Kindle.
Give it a try, see if it works for you also.
Concession.
