CC Cleaner Is It Any Good?

Oct 8, 2009

The Guardian IT boffin has recommended this several times this year, and again today. Is it any good? I'm sure I've read on this site warnings that it is junk/virus-attracting, and that its 'free' scan only prompts you to buy corrective software.

Is Media A Good Replacement?

Jun 21, 2008

I need XP Professional to install and run a particular application. I have been told that XP Media is XP Pro under the hood and a good substitute. XP Media is ten dollars less that XP Pro. Which should I choose? What is added to XP Media that I might not want? Lastly, since I am buying the upgrade version. I am guessing the version of Windows 98 SE that I have will work.

Can Anyone Recommend A Good Pop Up Blocker?

Aug 22, 2005

A very minor nuisance I know, but my pop up blocker requires me to hold control every time I want to open a new window. Is there an effective, free pop up blocker that doesn't require this effort (I sit at a funny angle to the right of my keyboard with my feet up!)I currently use Pop Up Stopper which is otherwise very, very good.

Lookin For A Good Antivirus

Apr 9, 2006

i'd jst like to know if eTrust EZ Antivirus (and also its Anti-Spyware and Anti-Spam) is a good option or not for regular use. And also is it a safer bet over Norton? have used it for barely 12 hours, so have no clue as to what its like.I know that Norton majorly slows down the PC and like tht but so far thats what im the most comfortable with. Ive used McAfee twice, for 2 months or so each time. It has let me down both the times, so looking for options apart from Norton. THough heavy on the system, i think its th best.Also, could someone help me with my graphics driver (+ virus) problem? posted the problem yesterday, emtronics has done his best to help me out but not much has really improved.. so if anyone else could also chip in and help me out.

Does Win SP2 Have A Good Firewall Protection?

Apr 18, 2006

Before getting Win XP, I used Zone Alarm..it served me well.I used to test how good ZA was by using the tests found at www.grc.com. My PC always passed.I just tested my computer with grc's 'leak test' and it FAILED! My PC was penetrated.Does this mean that the firewall provided by Win XP is not doing it's job? If so, should I go back to ZA and disable XP's firewall? (2) I also just heard that Windows Media Player is also a good vehicle for spyware to infiltrate my PC. How can I stop this short of uninstalling the program?

Cannot Make Good Ms-dos Startup Disk

Sep 13, 2005

I can't make a good MS-DOS startup disk (for BIOS flashing) from XP SP2.I select the "Make an MS-DOS startup disk" from the Format dialog.Sometimes it gives up without a warning (i.e. the progress bar resets itself and the "Start" button goes active again). Sometimes it completes with a success message. However the disks never boot. I get the following messages from the BIOS (abbreviated a bit!): Looking for boot record on floppy... OK I've tried with a least 7 different floppy disks, all with the same result. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get it to work? I've also tried to make a MS-DOS boot disk on a Windows 2000 machine by downloading some freeware, but this does not work. I think the floppy drive is OK because I can boot from a Linux floppy disk (memtest86).

Just Installed Home And Everything's Good Until I Install SP3.

Jan 1, 2009

I had an ingenuine version of Windows installed so I had decided to just install a genuine one after Microsoft had bugged me about it. The bad OS was XP Pro and I was supposed to have XP Home, so I had to do it the hard way. I decided to install XP Home then over everything I had. I copied/installed the important things I had backed up (not much). This was a few days ago. Everything was going well until yesterday I got a problem. I had just installed SP3 when it told me to reboot. I rebooted but I get an error before it's about to start loading my desktop. The error lasts for about half a second before the computer reboots and repeats the process endlessly. The error says "A write operation was attempted to a volume after it was dismounted." with "lsass.exe" in the title bar. The same thing happens if I boot in safe mode as well. Also, my computer is a Dell laptop, Inspiron 600m. What am I to do?? I really do not want to have to do that all over yet again just after having everything nearly set back up perfectly. Help!

Thanks

Unable To Make Pc Performance Good?

Aug 29, 2007

I'm running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 on a Compaq Presario S4100NX and I seem to have a problem with the Windows speed.
It's not my internet, I have a fast connection and FF runs very fast and smootly for me. It's like typical Windows stuff. When I open up my Documents folder even when I'm not running much else, it takes long to load. When I open up a program, it takes much too long. I open up a MSWord document, it takes too long.
Everything seems slow minus the internet. I don't think it is adware/viruses/trojans or anything as I appear clean and my hardware is in fine condition. Maybe my computer is a bit old? Maybe I have too many processes or programs? I'm not really sure what it is but I'd just like to make my PC run faster.

Will Only Start In Safe Mode - 'Last Good Configuration'

Sep 10, 2005

I can only start my PC in safe mode as normal mode gives me the error message stated below each and everytime. I can not use the 'Last Good Configuration' mode as it gives me the same Blue Screen message. I safe mode it won't allow me to use System Restore as it tells me to restart my PC then use System Restore. I have not run out of hard disk space as I have 75Gb left on my hard drive. The only thing that I could imagine that could've created this problem is that I downloaded a few diagnostic programs including registry ones and wanted to clean up my PC. After I used the programmes I uninstalled them.

Need To Do System Restore Or Last Known Good Config. Using Windwos Xp CD

Nov 24, 2008

Basically I have windows xp sp2 professional installed and I recently partitioned my hardrive(primary partition- drive E:), Nothing went wrong with the partitioning. I then installed windows 7 beta into my partition but it suddenly stopped midway through the installation. So I reboot it and it gives an errror message and it tells me to insert the cd. But because I downloaded and mounted the iso, I can't do this. F8 doesn't work after restart- message still pops up. So I'm wondering how I can either

System Builder Needs Good Remote Software?

Jan 13, 2006

I'm looking to install a remote connection on the systems i build. As i'm constantly having to walk people through basic tasks i would like to be able to just tell them to start a specific program then let me connect and do all the work. I have tried with windows own remote assistance but half of the time i can't even connect. I have over 150 sytems built and running, hence this software can't cost a lot. I want to install the server side on all these sytems then i can connect remotely from my Client side and carry out basic tasks... ie editing startup registry etc Anyone know of any good free software for this... i've looked at some software but to install on so many machines would cost a fortune.
