Norton made a free scann on my computer and said I have no protection and that there are threats dected which can make
Norton ran a free scan on my computer and said that I have no protection on my computer. My computer has been acting upward, I got the freezes and just plain closed down it is slow (I do not have the high speed internet is Hughes net) but should be even faster as it is, I am not at all computer smart and I can't afford to get protection I don't know what to do!
Download and install microsoft security essentials from the link below and run it. It's a free protection provided by microsoft and it's effective enough for the average user.

NOTE: Do not forget to select the version appropriate for your system.
You may need to update your system with the latest service pack if you have not already done so.
To find out what service pack you have installed. Click the Start button, click Run, and in the box, type winver, and then click ok. the page that opens should tell you what version of windows and the service pack is installed.
On the free norton scan, don't do it unless you are absolutely sure it is the real thing. I've never heard of norton providing unsolicited free scan.
Good luck.

How to make the computer to recognize that there are 2 monitors?
I have a new hp pavilion hpe h8-1124 with AMD Radeon HD 6570 GPU. It does not have a VGA port, so I used the adapter supplied in the box HP (DVI / VGA). To get to two monitors, I used a VGA 2 VGA splitter 'Y '. Both monitors turn on and show the desktop, but when I use the Windows screen resolution (7 professionals), to stretch my office, the choice of two screens are not present. Using the button detection detects only a single monitor which is names @. Using 'Identify' places '1' in each monitor. When that I start with a single monitor, "detect" correctly identifies appointed monitors.
How can I get the computer to recognize the fact that there are two different monitors? If I can't do this, I can't do the rest of what I need to stretch the desktop on two monitors.
Hello
Get rid of the VGA splitter. You have noticed it doesn't work for the Office of 'cloning', but do not stretch across two monitors.
What are the other ports on the video card? without doubt, DVI, HDMI, and VGA if this is correct, then one of then one of the monitors must use DVI - D or HDMI if you want to continue to use the VGA for the other monitor.

When I put the time, she can use the internet, she changes the time on the computer and returns on the internet. What can I do?
Not enough information. You have provided no context. You don't say what version of Windows you are using and you don't really describe the situation in many details. Reading between the lines, it looks like you have a child who has time on the Internet you want to limit. You do not tell us what tools you use to control this limit online, so it is difficult to recommend the right forum for your post. Please update your message with a more detailed description of what is happening and what you want to do.
One thing that comes to mind is using Live Parental control with a Netgear router. See http://www.netgear.com/lpc. LPC uses the service OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/)

1. the MOST important... do nothing the message asking you to do.
2. connect with your e-mail server. Check the message. I suspect it's a hoax or, worse, a scam.
3. post the whole message again, less your e-mail address.

Usually, when you uninstall a program, all files other than the game save files, customizers, or similar are deleted automatically, and those who are 'left' files are usually readily identified you can manually delete directory.

my computer has a max of 8 memory which can make to wear this
Is there something I can do to increase the max memory on my computer? I shows that the max on the s5-1204 is 8G. CanI get a new processor? What is the possible solution, as appropriate
Yes, it can make a difference. You had the right idea in the beginning, however. Increase in performance the most is normally a upgrade memory. I do not upgrade the processor unless I can almost double the speed. Passing a dual core for a quad core is a big step up.
Please click on the Thumbs up button '+' if I helped you and click on "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.
