Malware - don't let it get you.

It can also interfere with your PC in other ways, such as installing additional software, redirecting Web browsers, redirecting to other websites that may give you viruses. Spyware can even change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and loss of Internet or other programs.

Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download
Submitted by admin on Thu, 07/10/2008 - 17:49.Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download
If you're like most PC users, you probably got Windows Vista with a new PC or laptop. And if you're like 99% of the population, you get your new machines from one of the major manufacturers. Dell, Acer, HP, Toshiba, Lenovo, they all have one thing in common: they don't give you a real Windows Vista installation disc with your purchase. Instead, they bundle what they call a "recovery disc" (that's if you're lucky - otherwise you'll have a recovery partition instead) with your machine and leave it at that.

Submitted by admin on Fri, 06/13/2008 - 16:15.15 Common Vista Stop Errors / BSoD's
STOP 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_OR_EQUAL
Probably the most common BSOD ! Occurs when a driver has illegally accessed a memory location while NT is operating at a specific IRQL. This is a driver coding error, akin to trying to access an invalid memory location. Recovery/Workaround:Usually none.
STOP 0x0000000A or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Windows Vista and STOP: 0x0000C1F5 (Linux anyone?)
STOP: 0X0000C1F5 (0X0000000, 0X0000000, 0X0000000, 0X0000000)
You know your in for a rough ride when the only advice you can find for a BSDO is to back up all data and format your drive. B.S.!
Working on a HP pc with windows Vista home, the customer was receiving a BSOD
0x0000c1f5
Hmm maybe an easy fix.. Yeah right.

RUN SYSTEM FILE CHECKER WITHOUT THE XP CD
The System File Checker (Sfc.exe) is a nice tool available in Windows XP which can often correct problems in an installation by replacing damaged or missing system files. It normally uses a folder on your hard drive called WINDOWS\System32\Dllcache as source for the replacement.
