Title: Computer Problems
Post by: Mastafa on January 25, 2011, 12:12:24 am
Hmm... this is odd >:(
A few minutes ago, I used Google Chrome and now, it goes "loading" forever. Internet works with Opera and IE. Then, the blue screen of death came. it restarted. i decided it was malware or a virus. I run Microsoft Security Essentials. I try to update the definitions, and it goes beep! error. I run Windows Update: BEEEEEEEP error :roll:
what can i do to get my computer running @ normal?

Get a free antivirus other than Microsoft Security Essentials (e.g. AVG or Avast!).
Also, try to re-install Chrome, and see if it works. Otherwise use Opera or Firefox.

Yeah, get a proper anti-virus program. I use antivir. Avast! should also be rather good. And finally, forget Google Chrome. That browser sucks more than Michael Bay missed the mark with Pearl Harbour. ;) Firefox has far better security built in, and also offers the ability to block all ads. (Including all kinds of virus that come through the ads).

AVG sucks. Avast is good but not the best. Get NOD32 or Norton Antivirus.

I hope your joking. Norton is the worst bit of crap i've ever tried. And they even charge money for it. I found over a dozen viruses when i changed to Avirus, that Norton didn't find.
In general, don't pay for antivirus. The difference is marginal. And both Avirus and Avast are by far the best.

Not joking when i changed from Avast to Norton Antivirus it found about 30 infected files in my PC, Avast reported 0 viruses.

Remember to backup all your personal files, homework etc. You wouldn't like to loose everything if it crashes. And maybe pull the internet plug while scanning.
And also important: Remove some of all the programs. You have 4? browsers. It's no wonder your PC gets slow ;) And run a disk defrag.

I got to say, I lol'd :lol: Anywho, you can say what you want but Mastafa got some compatibility/antivirus issues, two things you'll probably never experience with a Mac. I'm no fanboy (got both Mac and Windows computers) and I'm not here to start a b%^#@fight, just trying to help ;)

Agreed. Alas, at my high-school half of the lessons involve our computers. And the Mac's are just plain annoying. Problems range from incompatability of the files transferred from MS Word/OO to Apple, or lack of knowledge to operate them. Wireless internet almost always has problems with the Mac's. And they are expensive as hell.
Apple makes some fine products, no doubt about that. But as long as they won't fix the compatibility issues, i regard them as a a no-go. They can't keep going on with the monopoly-of-the-market-through-fashion strategy. When they start rethinking their strategy, i might begin supporting them.
That said, i don't endorse Microsofts ways either, but for the time being i find them better, as long as they are tweaked with OO and FF.
