ok i have norton antivirus & 2 threats were found in a full scan i did & they were both adware & i was wondering if adware has any potential threats er what it does??
thanks!! (link)

Adware, also usually spyware, is a program that is on your computer used to create/target advertisements to you. Sometimes they are fairly benign, and you don't notice em. But they tend to slow your computer down, cause unwanted popups, and also collect information, such as passwords, dates, chat conversations, etc.
It's free and easy to remove these pests. Look into Adaware by Lavasoft and Spybot SD. Those two programs should cover you for the most part. And kudos for using anti-virus software.

Worst comes to worst, you can always back up your critical files, reformat the harddrive, and reinstall windows. The entire process would take about an hour, and would completely clear your harddrive, so be sure to back up anything you want to keep on a cd or pendrive. Then, just be careful about how you use the internet. Some general tips:
-Spyware and Adware plague P2P programs such as Kazaa and LimeWire. Do not use these programs.
-Run weekly scans of Spybot SD and Ad-aware.
-An firewall would also help, either hardware or software based. If you have a router, you should be fine. Else, you can try using ZoneAlarm, which is a free software firewall.
-Check the extensions of your downloads. If you see a picture you want to download, but the file extension is ".exe", then you probably shouldn't download that. So familiarize yourself with some common file extensions.
-Just be safe on the net. Don't fall for banner ads or pop ups. Don't try to win anything. Most of these, if not all, are scams or will try installing spyware on your computer.
Hopefully, you should be able to maintain a status of being spyware free. Good luck.

Download, install, update, and run these two programs.
Ad-Aware
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
Spybot S&D
http://www.safer-networking.org/
These are anti-adware and anti-spyware respectively. If you run both, it should fix most of your problems, except if you're in a very bad situation. Also, I wouldn't recommend running Hijack This to start, because it's not as user friendly and does not filter out critical system resources, so you might actually delete something you don't want to. Another alternative is if you know what malware is annoying you, try googling it and doing some research. There are quite a few sites explaining step by step how to remove them.

13/f my brother is coming home from college this weekend for christmas and his majoring in computer science and hes just aweosme with computers.. the last time he was home on thanksgiving he taught me a lot about html and i already knew a lot anyway but he really helped. i told him i would have this whole website done by when he came home. and im getting really confused with out him. not like about big stuff but some small stufflike... one of my questions is do you no how to change a font on your website? how can you make a picture a link? ill add more later.. thanks ♥ (link)

Well, to answer your specific questions:
1) There are two ways:
A)To change the font for an entire page, you'd have to use a Cascading Style Sheet. To be honest, this might be too advanced for your level, but it might impress your brother if you ask about it. It requires making a seperate file. However, if you are using it for multiple pages, then it'z great for streamlining your font selections as well as other formatting options.
Create a file and name it "style.css". Edit the file, most likely in notepad or whatever you use to code, and put this in the file
p {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
Now, you can change the fonts to whatever you want, so you could easily do:
p {font-family:Comic Sans MS, Times New Roman;}
Now, the reason there are multiple fonts listed is so that if the first font is not found on a users computer that is accessing your site, then it'll load the next font, so on and so forth. Taking the second part for example, if a user's computer doesn't have Comic Sams MS, it'd load Times New Roman.
B) The more simple and basic solution would be to add the following tag around some text.
Text
Again, you can change the fonts to whatever you wish to use.
2) This is simple, although it may not seem so at first. It involves what is called "nesting tags". Basically, it's using tags within tags. Say you have "image.jpg" that you want to link to "page.html". You would use the following:
There you have it. That should be it. Let me know if you have any other questions.
