My Computer

[pym]

I have a problem with my internet I send out more info then I receive and it slows my connection right down, know a few people have told me that I have some spyware on my computer so I tried downloading a few programs these seem to pick up a few spywares on the computer but I still have the problem

Q1 what do you guys think is the problem

and

Q2 what is the most up to date spyware for free

A1. Are you running any P2P software, such as Bit-Torrent, Emule, Kazaa...as more often than not your uploads will exceed downloads.

A2. Both Adaware and Spybot search and destroy are good at spyware detection and are available in free form. You can also check out www.whirlpool.net.au as there is a permanent thread relating to free anti-virus software and the like, as well as online scanners, in case you feel that you want a 3rd opinion.

*TIP*

Walking away from your desk for a few minutes?

you can lock your Windows NT/2000/XP based computer by holding down Ctrl+Alt+Delete then hitting the Enter key.

Even quicker, you can just hold down the windows key and press 'L'

Great idea XRSICKT, this should keep the forum tidier and up to date

That only works for XP & 2003 though, but very handy in any case.

Others include "windows" key plus

- e - windows explorer

- d - display desktop

- f - file search dialogue

- r - run dialogue

And my other favourites:

ctrl plus:

- x - cut

- c - copy

- p - paste

- z - undo

That'll do for now - I'm starting to sound really pathetic!

what the phat is'windows file protection'  the window pops up all the time and it tells you to put a disc in the D drive :banghead: it sucks

Sounds like one of your system files are corrupt or damaged, more info would be appreciated to give you a better diagnosis and solution

and how do you post numerous quotes on the one reply?

You really need to have more than one browser window open and just copy and paste the text into your post and wrap it with "{quote]" "{/quote]" tags (without the " and using { bracket instead of {)

Or you could just use the button on the post's you want to quote turning them into a button for some unknown reason..

You can use this button on every post in a thread if wanted..... ....as if there's not enough quotin goin on now....

It's also worth pointing out that to do this you need to click on after clicking on the buttons. Took me a while to work this one out.

My first tip for you all. If you want to type in a phone number with spaces in it, use a non-breaking space. This way if the number is at the end of a line, but won't all fit, it won't get split over 2 lines. To use non-breaking spaces in Word (and probably lots of other programs too) press [CTRL]+[sHIFT]+[sPACE]. If you're using a program that doesn't support this method, simply copy and paste it from Word into your program. Or you can use Character Map too.

If you want to put a non-breaking space in a web page, simple use the code " " (without the quotes).

Is it an electronic virus though?
