remove all existing spyware anti blocker anti virus software that you have installed

go download AVG and adaware

Run these in safe mode on your pc and see what happens.

FYI: Downloading warez is your choice, but take my advice please...

DO NOT trust you anti virus to warez. BUY YOUR AV...not too expensive.

Maybe you can get one from Dell.

I tried but they said I would have to find one another way since they only ship with new comps. The lady said that I can get one from someone with a Dell.

And KNACK is it ad-aware

I think by tag you mean / XP home edition ,,, correct

KiLo · « **Reply #12 on:** October 01, 2007, 10:19:27 AM »

If I could I would copy my reinstallation CD that I got from Dell and send it to you.

KnacK · « **Reply #13 on:** October 01, 2007, 11:27:19 AM »

Dell pcs have a "system tag" used as a reference to uniquely identify the pc to Dell.

For example, an old server here is 77HHV11.

THese are usually located on a sticker on teh back panel of pc's.

anti-virus program - kaspersky and you can try the free online scanners... McAfee has one
free anti-virus program - AVG or advast

anti-spyware - spybot and adaware. both are free, however, adaware has pay person... the free version is fine.

you should have a recovery disc that came with the computer... if not, call dell up...

atmays · « **Reply #15 on:** October 01, 2007, 12:22:49 PM »

Well unfortunately I dont have a disc for that. All i have are for Latitudes and Optiplex's.

Anti-virus software usually just slows your computer down (unless you're prone to actually getting viruses). As long as you don't open executables from questionable sources, set windows explorer to show file extensions (whoever thought of hiding file extensions needs to be shot in the face), don't use outlook, and don't use internet explorer, you should be good to go.

Haha! That made me laugh. But I couldn't agree more.
