Anyone using www.bleepingcomputer.com ? (not bleepingcomputers.com....a knockoff advertising site)

It has lots of info and chat rooms where geeks help you get rid of malware, etc.

It also has info like how the antivirus 2009 hijacks googles homepage and installs malware on your computer. If you put it on your favorites list you can usually get to it if your computer gets infected. Once on the site you can find a 'cure' usually...according to one user I know.

Terel, I use that (and sites like www.eldergeek.com) for finding out which services are essential for running windows efficiently. It works extremely well for older computers.

The greatest gift I found on bleepingcomputer is a program called ComboFix. That little wonder saved two computers that were on the brink and now they run like out of the box machines.

Thanks for sharing!
