I'm having a few bad experieces with free anti-virus download websites. Can anyone recommend a?, also I don't mined paying a quid off ebay or something like.
I had experiences of somebad with especially anti-virus software downloads. Many of these sites are unscroupolous download software on your PC that offers a free scan and tells you your computer is riddled with viruses and then if you click on repair, they try to charge you, and then I got one which kept hijack my browser to its own Internet site all the time, telling me that I had to buy this software now because my PC is at risk. To tell you the truth, I'm sick of these scam sites and if someone can recommend a trusworthy site or know where I can buy a CD at good / so please let me know. Regards, Darren.
The first thing is to try to roll of Malware, I propose to download and comprehensive performance analysis with:

Im having no access to all rights on my computer and I can't access anything. I don't have a cd, or a back up
I don't know how it happened. I use it for school. the last lab I did had nothing nto do with users or anything, so I don't know how I locked myself out
Keep pressing F8 during startup, and then start Windows in Repair Mode. When there, use system restore to set Windows to a point when it was still working.
When you're done, plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.

setting up wireless on home computer
Hi, just bought an Ipad and trying to put up with my computer at home. Can anyone help?
I tried, but nam said that I need a wireless card?
Thank you Debbie
You must use a wireless card, if you want to use it on a computer. What exactly do you want to contact? Your computer, or a wireless modem / router? If a router, you must connect in it and then configure that

I just installed Firefox 5.0. I have also just renewed by subscription to Webroot Internet Security Essentials, so I have the updates on that as well, and apparently something in the latest Webroot is not compatible with the latest Firefox. When I open Firefox, I get a message that a Webroot 1.7 'Add-on' and a few files associated with Webroot (I wrote not them down and the error message disappeared) have been disabled. What worries me, because I do not know what part of my antivirus program has been disabled by Firefox. My Webroot reports that it is functional and up to date.
What he says is that Webroot has a special add-on for firefox which does not match the version of firefox you have. Webroot will still work, but it will not use this special accessory. You may or may not have a similar attachment that it is bundled with other browsers. I'm not sure. All-in-all, the module is not the main part of your anti-virus, it's just a piece of bonus, they give you.
Firefox has not disabled your anti-virus software, and using another browser will be no more or less dangerous than before that.
Think of it as a vacuum cleaner. He always goes to the vacuum cleaner and clean, but the small fancy brush to clean baseboards or something does not fit immediately.
They have most likely only need to change the small part of it that shows what versions of firefox, it will work with, if the chances are that if you keep an eye on, there will probably be an update soon with a version of the add-on that is compatible.

Can anyone recommend a hosting provider who is familiar with Adobe Muse?
Hi, I need to download my Muse site http://www.bilyz.com a recommended hosting provider. After that months of emailing diverted with my current Web host, they finally admit that they don't know Adobe Muse. The FTP upload works first but I was unable to download the changed files and would like to know a proven host that also provides good support. When I have my current provider tells me that they receive a large number of phone calls and that I should raise a ticket of inquiry via my control panel. Then I wait for weeks to get an email (which does not accept answers) of a person who obviously has not read my ticket request message. Of course, for reasons of telephone charges, I would prefer a UK host. Looking forward to your advice! Cordially
Hi, I use Vidahost. Been using them for a few months now.
At a reasonable price / UK based & best of all... works very well with Muse FTP upload.
Customer support is also the best I've had!

can I use Firefox with other anti virus programs such as avast?
I have heard do not use more than one anti virus.
I just buy avast and want to know if I can keep FF on computer?The good news is, Firefox is a web browser, not an antivirus program, then Yes, you can use Firefox and Avast.
You were using before another antivirus program installed a toolbar in Firefox? You can remove those as part of your switch. You can see and disable or remove toolbars on this page:
Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category
Does it work?
