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.

this is my second computer that i have and my dad will not buy me another. okay so heres the deal. my computer probably has spyware and i dont know how to get rid of it. i have ad-aware SE and i use it ALL the time but yet it still doesnt get the junk away. im getting scared cause i dont want to lose computer. does anyone no what i can do to have my computer work better and that i dont have a messed up internet?

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.

You know how everyone makes CDs of their favorite songs? How do you do that? (link)
|
I HIGHLY recommend AGAINST using P2P clients such as LimeWire and Kazaa, because that will lead to spyware, adware, viruses and trojans. Not to mention the issue of legality, which is minor in comparison to the other reasons not to.
Anyways, what you can do is "rip" CDs you already own using Windows Media Player, WinAmp, or your favorite audio program. The process takes your audio cd and creates copies of the tracks and places them on your harddrive. You can then (usually with the same program) select certain songs from your entire music library and burn them. It's pretty easy to understand once you get started. If you run into problems, check the help files.
Also, be sure you have a cd burner and writable discs (CD-Rs). That should cover everything.

I've been seeing this guy for a few months and and we have a great time together. Yesterday he asked me to tell him how i feel about him. For some reason that is very hard for me to do. I know it has to do with past relationships and not wanting to get hurt. I really care about him and don't want to push him away but i don't know how to break down the wall that i've created. I don't know how to put into words what i feel for him. Please help me. (link)
| |
I'd recommend coming clean and explaining to him why it's hard for you to explain how you feel. Explain to him, almost what you said right here, that you don't want to push him away but you have some, eh, insecurities about it because of past experiences. That's my humble suggestion. Communication is the key to any relationship, so be sure to keep it open and clear with him, and you both should be fine. Good luck.

hey im in 7th grade and so i was going out with a girl for like 3 weeks until today becaues i broke up with her and, well today i just found out that she thought i just liked her cause of her looks. and now im all pissed off and i want to get back with her.so today at lunch i go up to her and try to talk to her and she simply just walks away with her big group of friends. but like a week ago we were like makin out so im like confused? yea so if u could help me ill rate you a 5 even its retarded cause i think i am haha (link)
|
Aye, my condolences. However, think about why you want to get back with her for a bit. Don't do it just to prove her wrong. If it's not going to work, then forcing it to will only make the situation worse. Also, don't worry too much about her avoiding you, because it happens to all of us. It's probably asking the impossible to become friends again so soon after a breakup. I'd recommend trying to talk to her privately. Call her maybe, and try to arrange a time to talk. Do NOT try to talk to her online about your relationship. That should be something you do in person, or at the very least over the phone.
Again, just ask yourself why you want to get back together with her. If it's only because of the comment about her thinking you only wanted her looks, then you shouldn't try getting back together. And also consider the reason you initially broke it off in the first place. There's no reason not to think about it for a bit. Do so and consider your intentions, then do what you think is best. Peace.

For english we have to get verses from songs from other people and try to figure out what we think the song is trying to say. So could anyone who wants to send me their favorite verse from their favorite song? Or just your favorite verse from any song you like? Thanks so much. I need them by tonight.♥ (link)
|
Well, here's one I did a while ago for a similar project. Good song regardless, one of my favorites of all time. "Remember Me" by Hoobastank.
I wanted to be just like you
So perfect, so untouchable
Now you want me to be with you
Someone who used to have it all
Do you remember now
You acted like you never noticed me
Forget it
Cause the gone has come around
You're not allowed to be a part of me
Few other good ones out there. If you're looking for more of a challenge or creativity, go with maybe "Feel Good Inc." by the Gorillaz or "Image of the Invisible" by Thrice.

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.

i would walk 3 miles every other day? 1/2 mile run on the days when i dont walk? how about that? or would running about 2 miles be better instead of walking fast? like for my legs..to be toned, a nice tight butt/legs kuz i have a big butt but it looks gross lol im not fat but lol idk!
and um also i heard from someone that you have to run a FOOTBALL FIELD to burn off ONE M&M?!??!?! IS THAT TRUE? please respond !!!! (link)
|
Well, addressing your first "question", I really have no idea what the hell you are saying. But honestly, if your typing skills are any reference to your intelligence, then exercising is a lost cause.
And yes, you must run a football field to burn off a single M&M. That's not that bad. Wait until you eat other things, like skittles and starbursts. Oh man, those are a couple miles at the least.
|
|
well im really trying to lose weight and my friend told me to run a mile 5 days a week then next week run 2 miles and so on if i did that up to 10 miles how long would it take me to lose about 45 pounds? (link)
| |
Just follow your friends advice. 12 years and a couple lawsuits later, you'll feel better.

My boyfriend and I sometimes get in like Hickey fights. He always gives me them but whenever I try to give him one it never works...Ive tried on myself at home before too and I think im doing something wrong. My question is exactly how do u give a hickey and do you know of tips to help it work better besides like biting?

I think your problem can be summed up by a single sentence:
"She's gone from suck to blow."

Does anyone know how to use AIM from a browser? (link)
|
At first I thought you wanted to open a browser with AIM, but tis a good thing that you clarified.
However, for the simple reason that you are using Aim AND want to use it in conjunction with IE, I have to send you a monkey with an organ grinder. Have a nice day.

i need to know some exercise routines that help get your thys more skinny...anybody know some? (link)
| |
Well, "thy" is already an Olde-English word, short for the word "yours". If you want it to be even more skinny, then perhaps you should learn a new language in which that would be possible.

I want to get a cat 2 weeks from now. I know that I will be a responsible owner and that I'm old enough to make my own decisions (20). So even if I know that my mom wouldn't allow me to get a cat (because for her it is a "waste of time and money"), Iam getting one! by adoption..
How can I make her less mad when I surprise her with my adopted cat? (link)
| |
You could also tell her that you're moving out.

so at my school if you dont live in greystone {The rich part} or wear abercrombi (which i think is pointless to pay 80 bucks for prefaded and pre riped jeans)any way if you arent privledged then ure pretty much the scum of the earth.All the punks have spiked or really long hair and wear black shirts and riped jeans. all the preps wear collerd shirts and north face jakets. any way they label the rich kids preps and the middle class to lower class punks. So punks hang out with punks and preps with preps but, this prep likes me and i like her and every one knows so we are both hated by our own soacial clases. so what should we do
(link)
|
Ah, very similar to where I live. Well, I could tell you the usual, or you could try something else, something tried and true throughout literary history. Take a page out of "Romeo and Juliet", secretly make out, then, well, you know how the story ends. Perhaps you'll bring unity to the preps and punks.
Or, while your at it, just move to a country where the current government is based on communism.
