My server catches 99.99% of anything bad but I have a pop up in the center of my screen that say "theres a newer version availible you must down load to continue. Then at the bottom it says yes on the left and whats new on the right. It does not stop me from using the computer but when I go home it pops right back up. Thinking my 44 mag would stop it! Getting more pissed every time I turn the computer on.

Hi, I'm getting this pop-up while in internet explorer:
Microsoft Internet Explorer

When I try to back out of this box I am sent directly to the Winfixer website. This happens all the time I have tried to get rid of it with anti-virus and anti-spyware to no avail. Is this Winfixer something I should try or stay away from. I don't trust it at all. Any suggestions or warning are appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Wife and I are the administrators on the computer. The kids have limited accounts. One of the kids has found a way to make their "My Documents" folder invisible to us.
We can still navigate to the folder by rooting around in the C drive so it is no big deal but I am baffled as to why it won't show up for me,I can't get it to show up under "My Computer" with the rest of the "My Documents" folders.
All the accounts are set to show ALL files. Any ideas?

Someone gave me a laptop that has windows vista on it. Problem is the person that put vista on it didn't have the code and of course it shut down after 30 days. I can get into safe mode. What would it take to put a legal vista on it? If I can repair it my grand son will get it. 0 -

If I know an IP address, but don't know the website, how do I access that IP address? The reason I ask is, my firewall shows me the IP address of people who try to hack in my PC, and I would like to ping them back just to let them know I know they're trying to look in.

Before I take an action I was wondering if one of the more 'puter savy gents here could give me a straight answer.
Last weekend I updated/-graded my 'puter's security software.
This computer had/has Norton 2006 installed but is expired.
I bought and downloaded Norton 360.
Now, can I uninstall Norton '06 or does the Norton 360 need it to run??
Thanks for all the help.0 -

I've installed a new 19" widescreen monitor on my 'puter (Win XP, Home Edition, 2ghz, 512mb RAM, 40 gig hard drive), having a problem with the display of certain media.
