RAR files are not more likely to contain a virus or Malware any that any other file. (Assuming that you are not running a decent AV program).
Read about RAR files here and you can download the RAR Extractor free Frog.

as explained in the question, this is an instance of the ransom and requires me to click on "continue" or "quit". Select 'continue' just seems to allow firefox to do what I wanted to do.
I am running windows 7 Professional 64 bit and Firefox 7.01.
Probably caused by an add-on.
What is the rest of this message chrome://...js/ff_browser:203 ?

As I need to install IE8 and update Flash player etc on this old copy of XP that is not SP3 or service pack updates, is it possible to safely apply the SP3 update from external sources, as Microsoft update is not currently possible or do I have to buy a later version of XP with service packs installed?
Thank you, DOOM6G.
... I reinstalled XP from the disk of original rescue came with the PC in January 2012.
Ideally you would state that in your first post, Geoff.
If the new facility has left you with WinXP gold (without Service Pack), no Service Packs have been installed and summer computer connected to the internet for a while since you've done the clean install last month...
The computer should MORE be connected (Internet or local networks; that is, other computers) in its current state. All personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.
You will need to do another clean installation - this time, follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to the letter and in order! ) for your daughter's computer back to a safe & functional State: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636
Note: All free-trial version that is preinstalled to buy will BE reinstalled when you reinstall Windows XP. You must (a) uninstall the free-trial version AND THEN (b) download/run the appropriate elimination of tool FRONT (c), you install updates Windows (including the Service Packs & IE8) AND BEFORE to install the new antivirus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials - free).
Tip: Avoid the freebies all provided by the ISP (e.g., Virgin Media security suite) as the plague!

Is there a safe way to change the admin password?
When I got my custom PC built and began working with her six years ago, I had no understanding of the importance of strong passwords. The password for the administrator account on my PC is very low. I said two completely different things on fixing this. 1. it is completely impossible and any attempt will be completely trash the account Admin 2 - it is possible if you use the correct procedure and follow the instructions carefully. Who is the most reliable assertion?
Hi okieseeker,
It does not hurt to change the password on the computer, unless you change or forget the password.

"Group Policy" block several functions and there is no way to fix it
When I try to change some features/functions on my Win7 system, the operating system blocks attempts, telling me that "group policy" prevents me from doing what I want and to consult my "system administrator". Because my house is not a system administrator or IT Department, this suggestion is unnecessary. The latest incident was when I tried to add/modify one of the desktop gadgets. When I search the online group policy problem, I'm advised to run gpedit.msc but program that causes an error, "MMC could not create the snap."
How can I get gpedit.msc to work or to disable the reorganize of group policy on my Win7 Home Premium system? (I have already mentioned the UAC level 'None' and my profile the user has administrator rights).
Hi Peters4,
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers!

How can I fix error 'SIM not supported "?
I have AT & T and have an iPhone 6. A couple of days, I bought a refurbished AT & T iPhone 6 s. I put the SIM card in the iPhone again and it says "SIM not supported." So I called AT & T and he scored, but it still doesn't work. I'm going to AT & T to try to get a SIM different but thought I would post here first since it's a few hours before they open and thought that maybe there was another way to fix it. They are both 'locked' phones, but I think that it would not matter since they are both locked to AT & T
What is you get the exact error message?
Are you sure it's an iPhone AT & T?
The ism unsupported error appears usually when you try to use a sim card which is not by the carrier, that the iPhone is locked.

safe way to transfer music to iMac hard drive on a separate drive?
Is there a safe way to move my music from hard drive of my iMac to a separate drive?
Drag the files normally. If you move your iTunes to work, when finished, start iTunes with down option, and then choose this library.
If you do this to free up space on the drive or to use music on multiple computers, keep a backup of it on a second disc.

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.
Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

my ipod touch received a text and panoramic photo from an iphone 6se, now my messages are empty and starts a restart, is there a way to fix this?
I can't really answer this question completely because I don't know what software was used, or what processes might have been involved in stitching panoramic photo. A possible "fix" would be to save the image on an external and view on a larger screen - like an iMac.
If your version is actually 4.3.2 is perhaps part of the problem. The latest version of iOS is 9.3.5.
