Messenger wont keep me logged on?

I have yahoo messenger 8.1, i dont use any type of windows altering software, I also have mcafee firewall and antivirus, I occasionally scan my system with AdAware SE for spyware, and use RegMech 5.0 to fix registry problems. I also have a Broadband cable internet connection that is always on. However, yahoo messenger will not keep me logged on no matter what type of connection settings I change it to. Does anybody know of any conflict with the software I mentioned above and messenger?

Messenger wont keep me logged on?norton

If you get dumped from the Yahoo servers or get a Ypager error do not assume that you have been booted.This is not always the case.The problem is due to the low total physical memory and still low its availability.If you have dial-up and your computer is not of the latest system,you will be encountering problems of delayed messages.You need not change the Messenger.Instead add RAM.

Try running your disk cleanup program.It can be found in system tools.Delete cookies/temp.files and clear history(get the no. of days to zero)by going to Internet Explorer/Tools/options/Here also go to advance tab and security tab(do not opt for proxy server for a connection,instead use your ISP as default in dial up %26 virtual private network section or direct connection to the internet)/click OK.

The processor's fan is making that annoying noise more than ever. Why?

Whenever I access a Flash made website it sounds like it is raising speed, whenever I open a program it does, even with notepad, and sometimes when I'm using Word, it starts again whenever I start typing, that's pretty annoying, but I don't know if it means that I have to buy a new one.

Here is my PC description:

Motherboard Intel D101GGC

Processor Pentium D 2.66GHz FSB 533Mhz

768MB DDR Ram (Free ~420MB)

XFX 6200LE 128MB Video RAM PCI-E

Western Digital 80GB IDE Hard Disk

Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2

Runtime description:

Normal Windows processes, besides that the only software running in background is the Firewall/Antivirus Norton Internet Security 2007.

This system was built at once and all hardware have almost a year and a half. Hardware configuration has never been altered, niether in the OS nor in the BIOS, no overclocking, no hacking, nothing. All software is orginal. This normally happened when High processing was required, but now it happens at any time

The processor's fan is making that annoying noise more than ever. Why?nortonantivirus

The cpu fan is probably clogged with dust and having to work too hard to try to keep the cpu cooled.

Buy an aerosol can of compressed air for cleaning computers. It must be one that contains no liquid. There are several brands such as CleanSafe Dust Remover from Wal-Marts and Falcon Dust-Off to name a couple.

How to safely back up files on my PC (windows XP) & completely wipe it for a clean start?

My PC bought Jan 2006. PC came with 56K. ITU v.90 modem, but i have cable connected. Why is it still slow? friend suggested might be a virus which is not removable by my McAfee (Security center) antivirus. Windows IE keeps freezes. When 1st turn on PC, takes ages to open 1st email. Also have system mechanis 6 installed. It didn't detect problem hence problem is not fix. PC still has A LOT of memory %26 huge hard drive capacity. SM6 always indicate speed as FAIR.

Best to back up using HDD? which brand? how to back up? (steps please), Flash USB ok?

What's a safe and EASY wipe out? read Norton partition utilities. Since already using McAfee,, does it have similar software? Original windows XP (Home) came with PC, don't want to loose this cause I don't have the disk.

I have good basic knowledge of PC functions, email and internet). IS this enough for me to do the back up and wipe out myself?

Help! Don't want to have another PC crashed on me! *thanks

How to safely back up files on my PC (windows XP) %26 completely wipe it for a clean start?noton

You might not need to wipe it out and start over. And no - having a dial up modem won't affect the speed of anything as long as you are using cable (though I have actually seen on more than one occasion someone still dialing up despite having a cable modem attached - those people were incredibly stupid however).

Does anyone know if Zone Alarm Security Suites Pro can also be installed on a laptop?

I have heard that this is one of the best antispyware and antivirus programs that you can buy, but can it also be downloaded to a laptop and is it as effective as it would be on a desktop?

Also, does anyone know where I can buy the program that allows the laptop to be accessed by my fingerprints only?

Do they have voice recognition/any type of biometric security software available on the market?

Thank you

Does anyone know if Zone Alarm Security Suites Pro can also be installed on a laptop?pc security

Yes Zone Alarm Pro (ZAP) Will work on a laptop just as effectively as a desktop. It provides a tough firewall for wireless internet adapters and wired networks. Other than that there will be no difference at all.

As for biometric security at the consumer level, check out Privaris dot com.

Does anyone know if Zone Alarm Security Suites Pro can also be installed on a laptop?symantic

Trend Micro Help--Where is my License key?

I have TrendMicro PC-cillin Antivirus for my computer. I bought it legitimately from Best Buy about a year ago, and it's now expired. I want to update my software, but I didn't register my product when I first got it--I just installed it and used it without registering.

I can re-register and buy a new product, but I need the "License key" to do that.

I have the serial number and the original package I bought it all in, but I have NO CLUE what the license key is!!

Can someone PLEASE help me??? Where do I look and what kind of number is it??

Trend Micro Help--Where is my License key?photoshop

The price difference between buying Trend Micro new and renewing an older version is small, $10-15. But, if you dead set on renewing, the license key is saved within the Windows registry. If you don't know what the Windows registry is then you should call a customer service agent to walk you through the steps. Trend Micro offers free customer service. Otherwise, go to Start Menu %26gt; Run %26gt; type "regedit" %26gt; [Enter] %26gt; ..Go to the following HotKey HKEY_Local_Machine %26gt; Software %26gt; TrendMicro %26gt;

Trend Micro Help--Where is my License key?symatec

Yes, Well the thing of it all is that it usually sticker-ed on the jacket that it came with or in or on the small manual itself. I hope that's not bad news for you. You always look to keep it with the rest of need-to-save product keys %26 code papers.

Good Luck
See if there is a key on the packaging - sometimes inside the box. If not contact the company via email or call if they provide a number and they should be able to help you out.

Anti virus for Macbook Pro?

I just bought a Macbook pro today. Before I go surfing on the net with it what kind of anti virus sofware should I get? I only have Norton Antivirus for my Sony Vaio right now. But Im guessing I should not use it for my new Mac since its windows. I have heard that Macs do not need anti virus software because they have anti virus protection already built in. Is that true? Am I safe without it? Or is it best to get some anways? And if so what kind?

Anti virus for Macbook Pro?pop up blocker

Rumour has it that Macs are immune to viruses.

Anti virus for Macbook Pro?systemworks

No computer is 100% immune to viruses or malware. Although Macs are less susceptible to infection, it's always good practice to install software that protects your system. OS X comes with a built-in firewall, not virus protection.

There's a free virus scanner for Mac called ClamXav. It quite popular among Mac users so I would suggest you give that a go before spending money on commercial software.

http://www.markallan.co.uk/clamXav/

Before you connect to the internet, don't forget to turn on the built-in firewall;

1. Click the Apple menu [ 铮?] and select System Preferences from the list.

2. Under "Internet and Network", click the "Sharing" icon.
