My PC broke down with a virus.
We had no choice to save our memory on a disk and like...
I DON'T KNOW!!!!
I'm not good at computers I just like to view my mails and chat and play games.
Anyway, now our desktop is blown up 100 times or something and I tried the "properties" but it wouldn't work.
I mean what's with that?!!
Sheesh.
My dad did the whole memory rebooting thing.
It must have gone wrong there.
Now I have to use a laptop that was made used 4 or 5 years ago.
It's not that bad...
Windows 2000.
...
GHhghhghghghg!!!!
It's really slow and frustrating.
It keeps freezing and ...
Please help.

ummm... my first guess is use mcafee, you said it might be a virus, so use mcaffe and it will catch the little bugger. if that doesnt work, then dum dum dum..... reinstall windows on your computer, sure you will lose ALLLLLLL of your date, but u just have to start over, it will do the trick though

d00d, if you dont know anything about computers, how are you going to understand what I would say and be able to do that?

plus memory is temporary cache, not permanent data.

Come on people. Lets learn how to stay protected from viruses. Ensure that you always have anti-virus software installed and that its virus definitions are up to date. On top of that, don't use Internet Explorer as its ridiculously exploitable, use Mozilla FireFox instead. Install a firewall or use Windows Firewall to block unwanted traffic.

update to sp 2 and youll have better firewall protection and a popup bloacker if u insist on using internet explorer and if u want to us ie, there is an internet explorer v 6 sp 1 at www.microsoft.com in the update section.
