    My latest awesome build.

    Nah the price is already high enough. :P I don't really like mid towers there isn't much room to work in them and I can't even get the power supply out without removing something else most of the time. Of course I've only used $36 mid towers and cheap ones that hp and dell use so I'm guessing...

    My latest awesome build.

    Loyalty mainly. I've had a better experience with AMD. This is only 512mb I don't get how its better (its been a while since I built a pc). I want Nvidia because I tried to install linux and it seems ATI and linux don't get along well. I don't want to use a crack. Everything on my pc is...

    Best Anti-Virus?

    AVG used to be my favorite until it started to not agree with steam games. I've only tried 3 and 2 were freeware. 1. avira 2. AVG 3. norton and norton is the absolute worst I would never use it again even if they paid me to.

    I need help!

    I have used bios before I know its not the keyboard's fault and it won't even recognize my ps/2 keyboard. This computer is...hmm I think just under 2 years old so I don't think the battery is the problem since I have had computers way older with a perfectly fine battery. This stuff doesn't...

    I need help!

    Yeah I know I have a backup keyboard just for dos and stuff thats ps2. I have done things in bios before so I know its not the keyboard. How do I go about doing a repair installation and would it wipe out my computer?

    I need help!

    I have been having computer problems for a while now, and I couldn't figure it out so I just let it go. First my PC will start up automatically like 10 seconds after I shut it down sometimes. Also sometimes it will show the windows loading screen and after that it will go to a black screen (and...

    is this really a virus?

    yeah ill probably do that...the computer runs fine when I heal it so I guess as long as my pc runs fine and its gone there is nothing to worry about...i hope

    is this really a virus?

    ok AVG said before that I had obfustat.asf virus and I heard that avg was just messed up but they fixed it in the latest update err something. So I restored the file and now avg says its infected again so is it really a virus if it has that extension? I've seen people talk about .vg and stuff...

    Trojan Obfustat.Vg

    whew...mine is .asf not .vg but im guessing its the same thing. Either way i'm glad to hear its an AVG thing and not an actual virus.

    Is there any way to block downloads?

    ok thanks that should work. I know that you don't have to throw away PCs when they get a virus but sometimes they get tons and when you don't know much about PCs there isn't much you can do...thankfully I'm here now.

    Hey I'm back sort of...OK I fix pretty much my whole families computers. My aunt keeps having to buy new PCs because her daughter downloads a bunch of random stuff and the computer gets viruses.

    can I put the dvd version of linux on CDs?

    yeah but I re-downloaded and re-burned so how could it be? The message it said at the end was actually input signal out of range...I wrote it down this time :) and I downloaded it from the illinois mirror link I saw at mandriva.com
