In my point of view, Norton 360 premier edition is the best one because the Norton 360 premier has backup utility where it backups our data and restores the data to the original destination.

Norton 360 which has limited features where backup and pc tune up is not available where Norton 360 premier edition has.

I have used Norton 360 but it seems to be not fit to my computer where my system is low in configuration and my system will become very slow when I installed it and so I removed it, Installed Avast free edition that was better for me.

Not only 360, any security software that is provided by Symantec was awesome and in that Norton 360 premier edition provides 25 GB of cloud storage that is also a secure. Just don't install the Norton Internet Security which has the better features where one can afford to buy the security software.

Once before buying or installing the antivirus once check the features of the that particular security programmes and so you will come to know whether need to install any new softwares or ...etc

I caught the trojan virus,and now I cant do anything! First of all, I cant get on safe mode or safe mode with networking, there's no use at all, The last time I did normal boot up it worked,was when I unplugged my Ethernet cable and used wireless. Everything slowed down completely and I cant do anything.Everything restarts and as I said I cant get into safe mode or anything. please help.

Do you have a good antivirus first, If there check whether it is working or not? If you find that is not working just uninstall that antivirus and install the trojan remover first they will provide trial version software and update it. After doing try to go to safe mode and scan the whole computer and reset the windows explorer policies and other settings which are available in the Trojan Remover software.

If you find the not going to safe mode  switch to normal mode and disconnect the Internet, scan the whole computer. I assure you it will remove the trojan. After that install a Norton internet security or Avast free antivirus update the virus definitions and scan the whole computer. Your PC will set right I assure you. If the problem persists, reinstall the windows OS or formatting the drive is only way. If you have any data you will lose while formatting a drive.

My suggestion is install a Norton Internet Security they provide the trial version.

My computer has been taken over by viruses. My anti virus does not remove viruses and any new anti virus I download becomes infected. Need help.

May be your computer is at high risk, because when you install any antivirus or any other programme it is infected. This means that virus and its infections are very high in your computer. If you insert any USB drive or any external drive, virus might damage your data. Before doing all these if you have any important data take a backup of them.

After taking backup of data, format your OS drive or C drive, After doing the same you need to check with other drives. But I assure you that other drivers like D, E ...etc are also infected. After formatting and loading the OS you need to install the Internet Security, why I am saying Internet Security means it has all the features like spyware, Malware  root kits  virus protection...etc. If you want you can try trial version of Norton Internet Security for 30 days.

After formatting and installing OS dont install any drivers or any other software's  Just install the Internet Security programme. Update the virus definitions  and scan the whole computer. I assure you it detects and removes threats, if that feels good buy full version of the software.

But every time install a security software's  don't overcome that my pc never gets virus or I am sure my USB drive does not infected with virus. Any way so many antivirus programmes are available on Internet, Free version of antivirus is Avast that was good enough to protect your PC. 

So whenever I open a web browser (usually Google chrome) and go to any site, my anti virus software always detects 6 trojan virus. I have avast anti virus by the way, its the free one though. I also downloaded some movies and songs through torrent. Maybe that's why. So I scanned my computer and deleted the infected/infectious files. But its still the same, they still detect a virus. So I'm freaking out here. What should I do? Is my computer really infected?

May be your PC is still infected with Virus or Trojans, You need to scan in depth of your system files. Avast free edition has limited features when compared to a Avast Internet Security. One more reason behind this is, in your pc some malware software may be installed once check in the control panel add/remove progrrames. Then check in browsers plugin or extensions there might be some unnecessary plugins installed. If you have found one uninstall it and restart browsers, reset to default settings.

Better install a Norton Internet Security Trial, remove the avast free edition. After Update the norton virus defintions. If any threats found I assure you it will remove the threats. and Run a Full System Scan. Symantec provides the Security software with full features with 30 days trial. After 30 days if you can afford buy a full version of the software.

So many malware sites are there in world wide web, people dont know which they should download or avoid. Installing a Internet Security software will protect your PC from all these types of softwares.

I have had it since September. Never had any problems with it, until today. The screen got slammed shut and now will not do anything. It gets stuck on the starting windows screen and goes black. I have tried F11 and it does nothing. I have tried rebooting it but it just goes black and 15 minutes later it goes to a grey screen and has the cursor, but won't do anything else! I need help, please.

Which operating system you have installed? because there might be problem with the boot files, They may corrupted and unable to boot. Once check BIOS as well, check the boot devices list in that check first boot device should be set to hard disk, if not do it and press F10 and save the settings. Make sure that you have loaded operating system. One more reason behind this is your system is infected with viruses, get a good internet security software and scan the whole system.

If you are sure that you have loaded operating system, insert the operating system CD and boot from that cd. At the first screen you will find the options to repair the boot, try to repair it. If not done go to the next step where you will asked to check the license agreement press F8. After it will check for the OS if any previous versions are installed if not it will show you the list. Try to repair. If this screen is not shown, main problem with the file system. In some situations many os lost the File system, I have faced the problem so many times. If you lost the file system you cannot recover the data. If same thing happens to you, you need to delete the partition and create it. Install the OS and follow the procedure.

If you have any data that you lost, download the recover my files software and try to get your data back. It is a good software I assure you it recovers your data.

Recently at school, whenever I try to connect to the internet it is extremely slow. I am on the same network as forty other students, but my connection seems to be the only slow one. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

As you are saying that forty students are connected to same WIFI this means that net will be slow obviously, because it depends on the speed. Assume that you school has 10 Mbps bandwidth and forty students are connected to it, in that 30 of them are watching you tube video and other ten students wont get the internet or the browsing will be slow.

Check your school bandwidth limit first, there are so many features in the Router to limit router. Managed Routers and Unmanaged Routers, Managed Routers have power to limited the speed to certain IP address or to certain MAC address.

check the internet speed , when you all forty students connected to same network on speedtest.net, you will come to know what exactly happening? when you are single in the class room and only you are connected to the internet once check the internet speed, you will come to know that how much speed the management is providing.

There are many reasons for this problem, May be your Laptop is infected with virus or any ongoing download is going on in background like torrents and any windows updates...etc. If you are aware of them check thoroughly. Scan your whole PC with a good Internet Security software's.

If you are downloading alot or browsing alot when connected to Internet, if this is observed by your school management they might be limiting the speed of Internet to your particular IP address or MAC address. If this is done by the management you can change the IP address, if speed limited by MAC address that is not possible to change.

I have a GA-990FXA-UD3 mobo and i need to update it so i can upgrade my CPU to 8350.

I tried to install it from: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3894#bios

You can update Bios in Many ways, one thing is after updating bios, your may face some minute problems like getting strucked, slow performance..etc beacuse I faced these problems after updating my ASUS K8V-MX motherboard, well I did got some other problems like capacitors failure after I came to know that this problems came into existence because of failure of BIOS. But I am not sure about the problem caused beacause of updating BIOS.

If same problem persists there might other ways to update BIOS.

If you need any technical help, follow this link http://www.gigabyte.in/support-downloads/technical-support.aspx

Gigabyte providing the softwares like qflash and @bios download these softwares from this link http://www.gigabyte.com/webpage/20/HowToReflashBIOS.html

download the latest drivers from the gigabyte official website and in your motherboard drivers CD may contain the previous or old version of drivers. 

It is recommended to install a good anitvirus security or Internet security to get rid of threats

I bought a new motherboard recently, and I can't connect to the internet because it says it needs new drivers. The motherboard Did Not come with a CD with the drivers on it.

Motherboard itself has drivers CD, as the manufacturer gives the drivers CD. If you didn't get, contact the vendor or go  to the service centre.

You can also download the drivers from the manufacturer's website, If you mention the model of the motherboard I can give you the link to download the drivers.

If you don't know the model, install the OS and go to Start Menu - Accessories - System Tools - System Information, a window will open check for system manufacturer and system model and just type both in Google search. Download the drivers from the official site only, If you download the drivers from other or unofficial sites they may contain viruses, trojan...etc. Before this install a Good Internet Security Programme.

Note down the model and manufacturer name of your motherboard and Walk in to a nearby cyber cafe, download all the drivers and copy them in to a USB drive. Install them on your PC. If you have Internet Connection, just download only WiFi or LAN drivers install them on your system and connect to the Internet, download other drivers from the manufacturers website.

Some don't forget to download the goodies or optional software's like they provide software's like ON/OFF Charge, this software helps in to super charge the IPhone.

I wanted to clean up the disk so I scheduled a boot-time scan from Avast Antivirus. Normally, my files stay secured after boot-time scanning, but for some reason, I lost some documents and completely wiped out by virus. It's fresh and all, but the problem is that hardware resets to its original position every time, When I restarting the laptop. While it was rebooting, I deleted all the viruses infected and wonder if this has to do anything with this issue.

How do stop my laptop from re-rebooting every single time! Please help me. This is really annoying.

Avast is a good antivirus programmes that detects threats if you have a Full version of software. Avast providing the free version of it's antivirus programme with 1 year license, but you need to know why. The free version of Avast has limited features. If you install it detects threats up to the signature's level. Better Buy the full version to enjoy all the features.

Already you have scheduled boot time scan, It scans boot files...if any threat found it cleans and restarts your computer. Better Install a full version of internet security and update the virus definitions, scan the whole computer. Before scanning the system, disconnect your PC from the Internet.

If the problem persists, you need to repair the windows using windows installation disc, may be the boot files are infected, again the PC is re-restarting because of the it restoring the files from Backup, after restoring PC can able to boot.

Internet Security or All in One security has many features like anti Malware, antivirus  anti root-kit  firewall, anti trojan....etc. 

If your files are deleted unknowingly you can recover, there are many software's available on Internet, download them, they provide trial versions if you can afford buy the full version. 

I ran four different full scans with Malware bytes, Ad Aware, Avast, and Spy-bot. Ad Aware detected two Trojans and I immediately deleted them. Is my computer now safe from any potential threats or damage. I constantly run scans on my desktop and delete anything malicious that I come across. Am I in the clear?

You are already scanned with security software's, don't worry your PC is safe. But beware about Root kits they are known to be start the infection again, some are not detected by scanning. Need to download some Root kit software's like AVG Root kit... etc. Scan the whole system with those software's  One more thing is Trojan Remover is also good Anti trojan software. I especially use this software when my PC is infected with Trojans. It is a good software to remove Trojans, Not only removes Trojans It has many other features like managing start-up programmes.

But when your PC is connected to Internet, Better Install All in One Security or Internet Security. They have hall the features like Anti Root kit  Anti Spyware, Antivirus, Firewall...etc So the Internet Security Software's handles all types of infections. Trial Versions has Limited features so better don't install them, If you want to try or to check the performance Install the Trial version, After if you can afford buy the the Full version to enjoy all the features.

Some ad-ware websites automatically installs the tool bars  some kind of ad-ware software's...etc so beware. If you have Norton Internet Security it automatically scans all the installations and detects the threat. It gives you warning and How many people are using this. So you can come to know that whether the installations are mandatory or not?

I have a virus on my PC that has deleted everything, all desktop icons and everything in the start menu, how do I fix it? I dont know how to access the internet on it to download software.

That type of viruses or trojans  may be dangerous, you might need to reinstall windows hat's better way to do.

Try to remove the virus in this way. press windows button + R you will get a run command window. Here type any dirve letter type for ex "E:", the drive window will open and in the address bar type google.com, in the search box type avast. Avast website opens download the free antivirus provided by them.

After installing once restart your computer, Update the virus definitions and disconnect the system from the internet. Run a full system scan, check the scanned results. If the problem persists you need to repair windows. If not booting format the C drive (do at your own risk) formatting the drive, you will loose the data. After installing dont install the drivers...etc, install the Internet Security software perform a Full system scan. After you will come to know the any threats are there in other Drives, If there, clean them once restart your computer, but dont forget to update virus definitions before scanning.

Have a healthy PC, Install the good Internet securities like Norton, If you can buy it......

Everytime I play a game my screen freezes up on me what can I do to stop this.

You are playing game fine, your screen freezes at what time in the same period or if you are playing game, is that screen freezes same for same game or for different game.

Mention the problem clearly, if you playing a game that might not meet the system requirements of that game, the game strucks.

If the game meets the system requirements, you are playing and freezes at same time. There may be your system is infected with virus. Install a good internet security softwares to get rid of infections.

In old systems, if the processor overheats, screen also freezes in this way. Because the the heating is not in control by the processor, may the equipments of that CPU should be upgraded.

Try to install the same game on different computer, If you had installed if the screen freezes at same time. there may be problem in the installed game.

Contact the game manufacturer for further solution.
