  1. I need help with possible spyware


    Yesterday I was looking at WinDirStat to free up some space when I came across a random file called "Shrek Train". When I first saw it, I thought that it was probably just a meme folder that I created, however when I opened it, nothing that was in there was something that I would ever install. There was a lot of pictures of shrek for sure, some random "How to train your dragon" movie boxes, files that I couldn't open, a buffering gif, A firefox image search, a facebook logo, and a twitter logo. What could this be? Do I need to change my computer password?

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Anti virus, Trojan's and Spyware.

    Hmmm, I use AVG Email Server Antivirus, Zonealarm Pro, and many many spyware programs... The best one being BPS Anti-Spyware. Ad-aware SE is just garbage now, but if you want spyware protection with out nothing running i suggest using Spyware Blaster. Heres a list of great programs that i use and i think are some are the best. Pest Patrol, Spyware Doctor, Spybot, Bazooka, Spyware Blaster, and BPS Anti-Spyware. Those are really great anti-spyware programs. Oh and the new Zonealarm Pro I dont like at all becuase it alerts you about everything even if you turn alerts off so i use version 6.0.667.000 which is one of the best newer ones.
