computer help: Ok so here it goes, i need computer help .My pc is causing me a lot of problems . - Help.com

ok go to system tools then go to system restore and put it back to the last time it was working good

you most likely do not need a new comp, the fact the you can access the internet shows that your comp is not useless

you mention that your comp may have or had a virus, go to this website and download the free virus scan software, it is a very good program and it is absolutely free

also dl spybot, it is capable of finding some things that virus scanners often miss

i hope these programs help you and you can get your comp running “normally” again

the last option before throwing your comp out the door lol is to reformat your hard druve and reinstall windows, if you purchased your comp from a store they usually provide a cd for this purpose, dell has you contact them or sumthing, one reason why i dont like them. good luck

Norton anti virus

yeah i forget about adaware

ive never had the greatest confidence in norton, i prefer mcafee, ive had a better track record with their anti-virus, but ive had the best with AVG

o ok still try that system restore thing to see if it will work for your problem

make sure u clean disk in safe mode or it does nothing

well i have mecafee .. but when my pc crashed i wanted all my info on it so i told the computer guy not to format it for me . . but i think the virus is still there , though mecafee didnt spot it :S . ..the virus is something like a folder opens in a folder ex .in my music another folder is called my music when i click it the documents opened . . its messed up lol
well thank you guys very very much i really appreciate it ,i’ll try to put another anti virus maybe that should work . . ( thank u for the links johnny :) )
but the usb devices how come my pc cant read any of them :S

Mcafee ( oops my bad hehe )

ill tell my brother to do that :D ( hehe )
Well old fart ill check that 2morow , but its getting late and i have to wake up at 7 in the morning for school , . .. so im signing off , ill be back 2morow night if you could help me ..
thanks again everybody ( nighty :) )

thank u very much :)

Install the latest USB drivers from the manufacturer’s website. From http://fixit.in

USB devices have been a problem for a long time. Generally the advise given is connect your device, load any software that came with the device. Then go to Your CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM, HARDWARE, DEVICE MANAGER, Universal Serial Buss Controllers and remove all entries Relating to USB and then reboot. The entries you removed will automatically be restored along with your new device.

Good Luck Ron

SpyBot is good too, free, adaware.

The thing common here is that they are all very good, best thing they are free for an individual, non-corperate user.
