Lately when I start windows Me I get a request via ZoneAlarm to allow Windows Explorer to access the internet. The IP quoted is IP.23.255.255.250. Is this legit? Also AVG has started to crash out to the 'blue screen' before completing (a convenient way of avoiding reporting a virus). Is AVG...

When I posted my previous question, I should have addressed it differently. In the file menu the 'Send' button offers three choices: Page by E-mail Link by E-mail Shortcut to Desktop. The shortcut button works, but the other two don't. The 'Message' box doesn't show up anymore and nothing happens...

I'll try to make this as short as I can. Bought a computer with ME on it. After awhile the PC slowed to an absolute crawl. Took it in and the guy said it was corrupted and he fixed it up for $69. Broughtit home and it worked fine as it was like having a brand new computer. It took only two weeks...

Does anyone here use SpywareBlaster 3.5.1 with the latest Firefox (2.0.0.12)? SpywareBlaster always hangs when it loads the Mozilla/Firefox detections. Never was a problem up until now.

Why did the command 'fdisk/mbr' not execute on my system (WinME)? Does it have anything to do with the DOS version being used? Or are there other possibilities? Harry, old yet never idle.

I heard there was a new worm to be let loose this weekend called MyDoom. How do I check my free AVG to make sure that this virus is in their database? Thanks, Eileen

Hi, A couple of days ago, I contracted a nasty CWS variant hijacker, which also changed/hijacked my notepad.exe and corrupted it, so that anytime I would try to open notepad, it would attempt to connect with a website(my firewall would warn me). After I got rid of the trojan with CWShredder....I...

My ME box must have heard me talking about replacing it with Linux.. the standard Nvidia GeForce2 440 MX display is (once AGAIN!) only booting to a blank screen now. The only way I could initially fix that was to boot to SafeMode, then force the setting to 16 colours there, then do a full...

I would hit any key to continue and when my screen comes back my internet connection gets very very slow, and I am on a high speed service. The error that comes up is ndis vxd error, I have...

Mike, I doubt the patch you mention would help me, but using nVidia drivers on my old TNT2 Model 64 display adapter so maybe it would. Tried installing newer drivers a while back but with no luck so went back to original drivers (as best I could). One problem remains - which may have nothing to...

Hi, I am trying to run Scan Disk on my C drive. I have deleted all running programs except Explorer and Systray. But, it keeps stalling and when it stalls it freezes the whole system and the only way to get out of it is to switch off and re-boot. I don't know if it is relevant but I have noticed...

Forgot to tell you......there is a new build of EZ Trust Antivirus......6.3.0.9 is the version number. I was talking to CA and they forgot to send out a notification to their users.....which did not impress me. And I asked a few more questions about EZ Armor because I finally found a way to...
