Well...It's fraught with possibilities. It could be spyware or it could be a normal file. Given that she isn't protected well, it leads me to...
It sounds like she may have some spyware visiting her. :) She'll need to run CW Shredder, AdAware, and do a virus scan with one of the on-line...
Thanks for that Chris H. That would be much easier I can see. ;)
Chris H I have Acronis ver. 6 which doesn't have the ability to make incrementals. I have always thought that I should get ver. 7 or 8 and have...
The term ISO as far as computing is concerned refers to an image file that is created that exactly matches the original in every detail. The...
That feature is somewhat buried in XP. Go to Start > Printers and faxes > right-click on Fax > click Properties > click Devices tab . Click...
I have Acronis True Image, Power Quest Drive Image, Norton Ghost, and NovaStore Instant Recovery. With the exception Instant Recovery, all will...
