What are mail server and firewall and antivirus hardwares??viruses

A server is basically a computer that serves information to several computers. By using 3 separate servers, this insures that if one goes down, not all services are affected. It's like using the same server for hosting a website and email. If that server goes down, your website is not accessible and you will be missing email too!

A server is a computer which has a specialised purpose, usually "serving" up something hence the name.

All websites are hosted on web servers which do just that.. they're computers which serve webpages.

A mail server is a server which handles email. When you check your email, that has been on a mail server before you get it.

A hardware firewall is a server/computer which has the sole job of protecting the security of a network. It works just like a software firewall, only there's a whole computer (or sometimes more) dedictated to the security.

Mcafee? norton?....??

all these antivirus softwares really confuse me. i think i have alot of errors and bugs and a huge virus in my laptop and i dont know which to download. i want something that doesnt slow down my laptop while running and doesnt take alot of memory, any suggestions?

Mcafee? norton?....??vista

Both the programs you listed are great at removing a virus but the tax your system resources heavily......Zone alarm has more awards than any antivirus software, because of its ability to find and disinfect a virus, its easy on your computers resources, and its easy to use....I use CA antivirus, and like the firewall options, it also has a live scanner for spyware and virus protection, which allows me to do a system scan about once a week.....

http://www.ca.com/

I would recommend either of these 2 if you want to purchase a good package.....AVG is free, but it is vulnerable to many virus attacks that can easily shut it down and wreak havoc on your pc....

Mcafee? norton?....??antispyware

yeah, try AVG.
AVG is one of the best, but you might also like AVAST!. they are free and don't bog down your system. (yahoo them) (its like googling only cooler)

Windows Live One Care VS Norton VS others....What to do when my Norton expires in a couple days ? Advice PLZ?windows

Theres plenty of free programs out there to keep your computer clean. Avast and Avg for antivirus and then Spybot adaware and Avg Antispyware for any spyware issues.

Norton or live care are not some of the best of programs out there, especially norton is a killer on your system resources.

Do they make software that will block pop ups that appear to be from your own computer?

Like that will block updates are ready to install or upgrade your antivirus programs and just the weird stuff I have no idea what it is that pops up. Also, how does your computer time those pop ups? Is it completely at random because they seem to wait until your in the middle of something important.

Do they make software that will block pop ups that appear to be from your own computer?

I believe this is spyware or malware. This happens to me alot because my grandson uses my computer and goes to sites like bearshare, game sites, ect.

You can go to twocows.com and download "Spybot, search and destroy" for free. I run it every day or two and it finds about a dozen items that have placed themselves on my computer giving it demands that cause the pop-ups.

I also have "Adaware" (not to be confused with adware) it works much the same as Spybot but each one catches things the other doesn't. So It's best to use both and run them regulary.

Don't let them run anything automaticaly it will drive you crazy, just run them manualy when you want to.

If you have Windows, set it to receive automatic updates and set your virus software, AVG, Norton, or whatever to automaticaly update.

This is the only way to keep your computer clean of junk like spyware, adware, and viruses.

And don't download everything just because it is "free". That's what gets you into trouble.

Please HELP!!! virus problem?antivirus programs

now that the antivirus software has removed the virus, you still have lots of damage to repair. it's difficult, but not completely hopeless. the cleanest way is to save all your data on another media, reformat, reinstall, and then move your data back. 1st, though, you might try repairing your registry. there's software out there for that. good luck. you'll need it.
all the other answers are great,but i would just reload back to factory level 2 or 4 times,that way you be be sure your system is clean
Run an online scan with Trend Micro. They will remove it.
You downloaded one of those Bogus Anti-virus programs that throw fake warnings that your computer is infected with spy-ware, only to influence you to buy another program. Like what WDW said "Smitfraud" may help. Out of the 8 anti-virus software's you installed, was AVG one of them? I found AVG which is free to work effectively.

Where can i get a free serial for Norton Antivirus 2007?

I got the software but dont have the key and activation key.

Where can i get a free serial for Norton Antivirus 2007?adware remover

Buy the damn software!

Most of the crack and keygen sites are full of spyware and viruses. Enjoy your infection if you play there!

Using a priated key will usually result in your software being disabled by the publisher. They keep records of the activation keys and once they're in the wild, they deactivate them.

If you want anti-virus protection and don't want to pay for it, look for a free AV solution such as AVG.

Where can i get a free serial for Norton Antivirus 2007?antivirus protection

You have to purchase it.
IF you want the activation key it should be on the CD sleeve that it came in, otherwise you wont get a activation key for the software and if you have lost it or its not there then you might have to buy a copy of the program again.
Buy it legally and your problem is solved. Software piracy is a crime, and rightfully so.
Speaking as a employee of Symantec, you don't, you buy your own copy of the product and get a legitimate activation key.
Theres a full list of security freeware on my blog. It finds and removes problems just fine.

The reason its free is that its free for home use on one pc. Business users pay.
look below
activation code should be with the cd-rom
find a friend that uses it

What kind of internet security software does everyone use? How many programs do you need?

I use Ad-Aware, Webroot Spysweeper, McAfee Antivirus. I have been thinking about adding more but don't know which ones to buy. Can you help me out?

What kind of internet security software does everyone use? How many programs do you need?adware

I use Ad-Aware, Spybot S%26D, AVG Antivirus, Zone Alarm. You can buy suites from various vendors that cover everything, but they don't catch all problems and they are pricey.

Here's a different approach. Try using Ubuntu Linux. Its totally free, and so is 99.9% of the software for linux. There are NO viruses for linux, which is why Mac OS X is based on linux. Its easy to use, and runs a lot like windows.
You need a Firewall, Anti-Virus and as many anti-spyware programs as you want. I use Zonealarm Pro but a friend uses the Comodo firewall which is free for life (apparently) and she rates it very highly. AVG do a free Anti-Virus too which has a great reputation. I like Spyware Doctor by PCTools for my anti-spyware and also Microsoft Defender...
Try out Spybot Search and Destroy, AVG Internet Security (not free though), and Registry Mechanic. I've had my doubts about Spysweeper, but overall it's pretty decent. I have McAfee Internet Security on another machine, I think it does very well.
Here's some ideas to "roll ya own" Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.
