If you could give me some good ideas on how to upgrade it. I am not looking to hack into the Social Security data base so I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars to have a warlock of a machine. I am already planning to put the other 8GB of memory in it to max it at 16GB ram. I am also thinking of having a tv tuner installed and getting a second TB harddrive.

Also please list sites where I can get whatever. The only two I know of are

tigerdirect.com
newegg.com

CA Security Suite is too large for my memory. I cannot afford buying anything right now.

I have two Xbox 360 systems in two different parts of my house. I would like to transfer game data to my newer system in my entertainment room because it has more memory. But the stupid license protection does not allow me to do this.

If I use the Xbox data migration cable to transfer the data, will it allow me to move everything to my newer system’s hard drive without dealing with the license lock out?

Will it use much more memory?I have 2GB of RAM

It has come to my attention that certain rootkits evade detection by hiding in an HDD’s Host
Protected Area or in the Device Configuration obverlay area, both of which are generally not visible to the user. Hdparm and other tools such as the Sleuth kit (as well as some physical write blockers used by computer forensics professionals) supposedly let you disable both the HPA and the DCO, meaning that it should be possible to securely wipe all your data, including viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, etc.

My question is as follows: is it possible for some piece of malware to infect a user’s graphics card, motherboard, memory, etc? I know that ClamWin has the ability to scan memory for malicious programs, but is there any chance some of these programs are somehow hiding in any of the non-HDD components, lingering in obscure hidden areas of one’s motherboard or graphics card or whatnot.

My computer is running WinXP professional, and is just fine. But today I started it, and it start to show some kind of message that saying that Data Execution Prevention has closing program "LogonUI". From what I know, LogonUI is a program that handle Windows login information. I click on the "close message" button, and Windows display an "illegal operation and we are sorry to close your application" window (also a standard operation after DEP window).

But the crazy thing is that LogonUI is an essential service run by Windows, and it WON’T turned off!!! Everytime it’s turned off, it loaded itself to memory, and that makes DEP turned it off again, which makes it loaded itself again, and so on. It’s not something so emergency, but it just bugged me off.

I have tried to turn off DEP protection on LogonUI program, but it has no effect. DEP still keeping close my LogonUI. Can someone suggest some information on how to overcome this problem? Thanks!

I recently reinstalled windows MCE, on my C drive , over the corrupted windows MCE, due to some system files screwup that was bothering.
I did not format C drive .. I just reinstalled , over and let the installation do the cleaning.
as i had my data on the drive, and no way to back it up…

Now everytime i click a folder or drive it takes time to open up, it shows me that hour glass. Its like it is changing file permissons or something.

The only other thing i suspect is the firewall antivirus - which i switched from Norton to Zone Alarm 6, Internet security suite.. (this has some component level firewall)

the HDD is NTFS format.. its a fairly good laptop, bought recently.

can i rectify it.. ?
UltraDMA mode 5, write caching enabled for drive.
cpu util is <5-10% , memory is 1gb, with normally 400 mb used up .
no spyware. No suspicious proceses, No unessary processes.

Note: this acess is faster at second time.
Hdd is defraged, 50% space available
External and internal both are behaving same.
I suspect file permissions on NTFS.

cause i see a ?<number> user in the permissions for folders and drives.. which i believe is of my previous - before install login ID

I’ve got an LG Musiq from Sprint that I intend on recycling in the future, as I am no longer a Sprint member. I need to clear all the data from it, but the phone has a 4-digit lock code set on it that I don’t remember ever setting, so as a result I cannot get into the Security menu to do a full format of the phone’s memory. Is there a way to clear off the whole phone without knowing the lock code?

Im using a Clone PC, Intel Pentium 4, 512mb memory, 80 gb hard disk, ATI Radeon 256 mb video card. It records for at least 15 hours, and when i get back to the computer, its like it rebooted because it is in the welcome screen. OS used is windows xp

The updates take up so much memory so I wanted to delete all updates except the most recent one.

hi.
I have a kingston data traveler and I can’t add any file or format it. I don’t know what has happened to it but it says it has write protection.
how can I remove the protection?
I can’t even format thew memory!!!!
There was no CD or utility on the cooldisk. I am totly mixed up!

For example, if an employer wanted to go back and look at something that happened months back. Would the footage still be there? Is the memory kept on a disc? Or is it erased after a certain time?

I’m running Vista basic on my laptop and everytime I backup my files, I lose a ton of memory. Does anyone know the destination location of where Norton stores the backup data?

I want good programs that will keep my computer free of Viruses, Spyware,Adware, and other bad stuff thats on the net… I also want to keep my computer running smooth, fast and kept really clean from bad junk. What programs would you recommend? I dont want to hog all my memory from using these programs aswell…. Thanks.

I'm selling an ex-business computer. I have taken the measure of taking out the old hard-drive and placing another one in. However, should I also take out the memory or is there a program to wipe it
if it poses a security risk?

this is my dads computer. its has 3gigs of ram and nearly 200gigs of memory..its slow as fuck! one thing i noticed is it has like 4 or 5 different security programs. could this be the cause of it being slow?

just incase something happens to our 360
I have a pro but just incase something happens to that like IDK complete memory wipe or something I have a backup to restore what was lost

I use my DVD/RW drive as a hard disk so I can backup, retrieve, and erase data files, quickly and easily. Use "copy" and "drag and drop".
InCd does this just fine - except when it causes problems.
I have read on the Web that InCd is a causer of problems.
From time to time my InCd DVD when it is being accessed will "freeze" my system, and then the disk will become "read only".No data is lost, but I must REBOOT, transfer the info elsewhere, and then reformat it so that it becomes a R/W disk again. I keep my "InCd" updated.

What, if any, are other options to accompish my purpose?

System: XP, 1GB memory 60GB Hard Drive
