I've read your other replies to the virus problem. I downloaded the AVG software to correct it but for some unknown reason the "virus thread detected" message keeps appearing for certain viruses which affected my win32. I can't move it to the vault.
I currently have another virus protection program, the SBC Yahoo virus program which automatically installed when I install my DSL.
What else can I do because these pop up messages are driving me crazy.

BTW, I've been here for a while but never realize you guys have this technology forum. Very informative...I guess I'm just a true degenerate who hangs out in the sports forums.

Good to have you in there.
First of all you need to turn off your system restore. Goto control panel, system and click on the system restore tab. Check the turn off system restore box. Reboot your computer in safe mode and run your antivirus and antispyware. Which AVG program are you using to scan your system?

I downloaded the AVG malware 7.5...not really sure if that's the correct anti virus program but when I installed and ran the scan, it seems to detect some trojan horse virus. The problem is that when I tried to click on the "move it to the vault", I keep getting the message, cannot access file or some sort.
Thanks for all your help...as you can see, I do not have that much knowledge when it comes to virus problem.
I also notice with the CA anti virus program, it keeps notifying me that I have some sort of virus in the win32/subdirectory such as darksma or something like that. I ran a search for it but couldn't find it.

Ok, you have the correct version. Go ahead and disable the system restore like I said before. Then start your computer in safe mode. You do this by hitting the F8 button before the Windows splash screen comes up. Pick regular safe mode at the top.
Then do your scans, some of those files could be locked by being in regular mode.
Now don't be alarmed by safe mode, it's ugly......real ugly. It starts the computer up just enough so you can fix what's wrong with it.

Ah yes, sometimes you need to do this. In fact I have delete turned on for everything. Never understood whey anyone would want to keep an infected file anyway.

Thanks guys...my computer is being scanned under safe mode right now. Don't know how long it's going to take so I'm using my laptop right now.
BTW, do you know any free program that would burn DVD-R. I've downloaded some movies for my kids but it's in Real Player format and I've tried to burn in the using the Real Player but I keep getting the will not fit message. I thought it was because of the size of the DVD-R I bought so I bought different kind which could record up to 2 hours even though it's still 4.7 G. I still get the same message even though the movie itself is only around 90 minutes.
I do have the factory Nero program but since the movie I downloaded is in ***.ifo, Nero cannot burn it for me. Besides, even with Nero, I don't think it would fit. I thought Nero would allow me to burn 1 movie into 2 separate DVD but I was wrong. May be the Nero version I have is cheap.
Any help is appreciated!!!

You need a DVD ripping program. Do a Goole search for DVD Shrink 3.2. That will rip the DVD's. You can burn them with Nero. In fact when Shrink finishes ripping the movies Nero should start actually open the drive for you, waiting on the blank disk.
Pretty nice....

Thanks Lippsman...downloaded DVD Shrink 3.2.105, works great. I still can't figure out how to use it to burn a downloaded movie from real player format to a DVD but for now, I'm OK with it.
Once again, thanks a lot Lipps!
BTW, my family is about to move to a new home soon. I'm thinking of upgrading all the television sets to either DLP, LCD, or plasma. Of course price is still an issue because I'm looking to buy around 4 32"-37" for all the bedrooms and may be a 45-50" for the living room. Any suggestion? I understand you love plasma but I'm just thinking it's going to cost a lot if I go to plasma.

I did further research I found out the reason why I cannot burn those the downloaded movie. It was created in smi file and no dvd program can burn it. Don't know it that's true but that's what I read when I googled it.

Well I'm a huge Samsung guy and that quality will set you back a bit. But if you don't have to have ths most razor sharp picture and don't have to have those blacks as black as night a Vizio will do you just fine. They have very good prices. Take a look at them in your local big box club. Sams or Cosco and do a comparison. There is not an earthshattering difference. Now mind you there is some but maybe not as much as you expect. And they are better than some of the lower brands such as GE and Magnavox.

Agreed 110% on Samsung. I have a 5 inch Samsung DLP that I couldn't be happier with (and a 62 inch Mitsubishi DLP that I HATE). I've heard that LG puts out a really nice DLP but personally haven't seen one in action yet.

Since you have the 50" DLP, is there any rainbow effect? I've been reading a lot about the supposedly rainbow effect and kinda of concern about it. I'm planning to get the 50" DLP for my living room also since LCD and plasma are quite expensive.
What do you think of your 50" so far?
Jrock,

I've had it for 2 years come November and I'm yet to experience a single problem. The picture is crystal clear. I've got PS3 hooked up to it, which is outputting at 1080p. My DLP is only 1080i, but I've got the PS3 and Direct TV coming in thru HDMI and I have nothing to complain about. I swear by Samsung DLP. Eventually you have to replace the light bulb in the back, but directions are in the manual and it takes 5 minutes to do. you''ll have to do that with any DLP. Sorry I'm just getting back to you now, forgot to check the General Discussion forum today.
