Justin, what are you using for virus protection?

 

[GM Guy]

I generally use spybot search and destroy along with microsoft security essentials. both are pretty light (as long as you dont install teatimer with Spybot) and pretty effective. plus, security essentials gets updates via microsoft update, so one less thing you have to go update by itself.

Switch to firefox from the unsecured Internet exploiter (explorer) and be careful of helpful web site warnings that your computer is going to go all 2012 on you. FireFox will give you better protection from the nasty stuff installing itself.

DON'T try the 'Free Scan' ... that damn thing is a Google Ad. I have no idea where it goes or if it is legit. The directions below it were for Justin to use.

Go to housecall.antivirus.com and use THAT free scan. (It's by Trend Micro, and is reputable). There is also a free online scan from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx that works pretty good.

I use Trend Micro on my two computers and have for about 3 years, it has never let me down and works very well.

Just curious but why are you using a proxy server?

What is you home network (LAN) setup?
1. Internet modem/router to
2. Hub/switch to
3. PC/laptop via Ethernet cable/wireless

Who set up your accounts, Justin? Why does your computer have other 'Users" on it?

 

[DEERE3594]

I have no idea. I dont have internet at my house currently and use my parents. this is the puter i have problems with. Franko, I cant answer any of your Q's, i dont know what any of the Qs mean

Try disabling proxy settings:

With Firefox open, select "Tools" / "Options" / "Advanced" / "Network" / "Settings" / "No Proxy"

Click [OK] twice.

Close Firefox, then reopen.
