What's everyone's favourite spyware removal method? I usually start by using Spybot Search & Destroy, and then I take care of whatever that doesn't get with HijackThis.

I cant seem to download active x. any suggestions. thanks

My roomate and I enjoy playing an older shoot'em up multiplayer game called Tactical Ops and we finally got our computers networked to share the same internet connection through a router. But when ever we play at the same time (or when one of us plays and the other is using their webcam), we both get major lag issues with very high pings in which ever server we play in. I was wondering if there is a way to fix this, cuz I've never had it happen before.

Side note, we don't have other major applications running while we play the game. No msn, no music/video... blah blah blah. The only thing I really noticed is that my roomates LAN connection icon in the bottom right corner says that its speed is 100.0Mbs where mine is 10.0Mbs... could this be the problem?

what is the fastest way to transfer video files from 1 pc to another? i have a 3000mhgz amd athlon 64 bit pc and i just built the new amd 4200 x2 dual core and i would like to send files back and forth between the 2. i heard about the new 1394b firewire. and i do have 64 bit pci slots on both pc's. would that be the best way?

I have a 6-month old computer running Vista with a CD/DVD drive which I have used to read and write. But as of a couple weeks ago it is unusable because it is not recognized by the OS. In Explorer or My Computer, the E:\ drive does not even appear in the list. In Control Panel when looking at the CD/DVD drive information it states that there has been corruption in the registry. I have no idea what I might have done to cause that. When I try to re-install the driver from the internet, it first checks and tells me that I have the most recent version of the drive so no need to re-install. Should I uninstall the driver and then re-install?

My wife and I allow our daughter to use our computer. That also means her friends use it too. We're tired of them downloading games and programs. How can we block them from being installed. We have Windows XP.

In plain language can someone tell me what juniper network is used for? I recently found it installed on my computer.

PC will not refresh RAM unless PC is powered off... WHY..? Any suggestions.

I record voice audio and latency has crept in. I'm runing xp with cool edit and a tascam mic and usb board. After an extended shutdown, the problem seems to have fixed itself but then it creeps in again. The problem is hiccups, drop, cutouts in the recording. Playing audio files is fine.
any info??
