phishing
josh.barron asked:

I just bought a new windows vista computer and it came preloaded with mcAfee and the phishing filter slows down the internet considerably. is it that important? i am using mozilla does it have a built in phishing filter?
i know how to protect my self from phishing websites but this is my dads computer and he knows nothing about computers…

adware protection
JesseAileen asked:

I have Ad-Aware and Spybot seek and destroy. They work well, but my computer still runs pretty slow, like it’s got some viruses or something else going on…. Can’t afford to buy any programs. :(
Also, I only use firefox, I don’t use Internet Explorer at all.

KEVV asked:

Hi, lets get straight down to buisness: What is the absolute best spyware/adware virus killer? (for example, norton-anti-virus) And a place where I can download it completely free of any charges? Thanks in advance…

coldplayrox2006 asked:

just got a trojan adware.w32.expdwnldr virus which keeps popping up a system alert saying I have to pay for anti spyware to fix it. I’ve read that people have downloaded and removed it with spynomore, so i payed $29 dollars did a full system scan deleted and removed any trojan viruses that were found. I’ve restarted the computer several times and also tryed different programs like kaspersky, super anti virus remove, registry cleaner, and trojan removed. Still no luck. All it really did was cut down on popups and the alert doesn’t pop up as much, but it still does. I want to get rid of for good! Please help me!

hardware security
flyingwombatz asked:

I would like to install security cameras in my house, since I’m going to be away for a while, and I want to be able to long in. I’ve actually found a good piece of hardware that lets me control lights, heat, everything remotely.

My question really is about what kinds of good quality security cameras are available / what people recommend – their price and resolution. I know a webcam is feasable, but I want much higher quality than that; if I can zoom in, that would be awesome. I know these things do exist, and I’ve tried looking online, I just can’t seem to find what I’m looking for, and I don’t have a base of comparison.

I’m not sure which Yahoo! “category” this goes under, hopefully this is the right one…

Thank you very much!!

Is there a way to report phishing and other problem emails?

anti virus software
Josh C asked:

What is the best anti virus software out there that uses the least amount of system resources? I don’t want an anti-virus program that bogs my laptop down… I am currently using AVG Pro, but I heard that the free version is actually better for a home computer.
