Hi there,
Not being the most computer literate person in the world I only found out about virus protection and firewalls when things started going strange on my PC, until know I always thought they were for big companys with important data to hide, not little old me!
I've got a sony Viao, running Win2Kpro and now thanks to Avast am ironing out a few of the problems, however...
On boot up scan when Avast4 finds a virus, What do I do with it? Often I can't repair it due to Error 42060 and I'm reluctent to delete or move the windows files they are often in cos I don't know what they do!
Incedently I keep hearing a warning tone, like an error messege is about to pop up, but it doesn't!
Oh and I can't log into hotmail anymore, but that may be something to do with my Zone Alarms firewall as I keep denying a lot of programs internet access as again, I don't know what they are.
How do you learn about all this stuff anyway, is there a book or did you all learn along the way!
Thanks for your patiance in reading this,
Take Care, H.
