in my old computer with xp I would do a search on "local settings" and from there I could go to some temp files to get rid of the cookies that had accumulated over the past week. I have been looking for the same way or similar in Windows 7 and don't seem to be able find it. does Windows 7 do things differently and/or how do I get to the place to get rid of the cookies?

thanks

after running spybot it tells me I have the following spyware "marketscore.releventknowledge" but even with the administrator turned on it won't remove it? is there another setting I may have missed in spybot? or is there another program that will remove it?

thanks

I just downloaded open office to see how it works and so far so good. I'm curious in that it does an amazing imitation of Microsoft Office , how could they make something that close to Office and not get into trouble with Microsoft?

Just curious

Thanks

I'm pretty sure I'm going to get rid of Norton. If I remember right from a number of years ago is that using the uninstall on the computer that is doesn't always get all of it. is that still the case? if not what other program removes the rest of it?

thanks

after years of dealing with dial up I finally made the switch to cable internet. in the process I also had to buy a new computer which I figured I might have to do anyway. to that end I bought a Preario CQ56 and while it certainly ain't a top of the line laptop it is serving my purposes just fine and a LOT better than what I had. the problem is that it came with Norton and that I'm not happy with that. In looking at tests I see that Bitdefender which i have used before is ranking right at the top along with Webroot which I don't know anything about. is Webroot easy to use?
I also see that Microsoft has a free version of anti-virus. is it o.k. for a free anti-virus?
I used Panda on my old computer and it seemed to work o.k. but doesn't appear to be highly rated anymore or if it ever was.
If you were going to buy an anti-virus program which do you think is better : Webroot or Bitdefender?
I remember that with old versions of Norton that it was a real pain to get completely off of the computer. is that still the case?

thanks
