Signs of a virus: Is your PC infected?

After you open and run an infected program or attachment on your computer, you might not realize that you've introduced a virus until you notice something isn't quite right.

Here are a few primary indicators that your computer might be infected:

•	Your computer runs more slowly than normal
•	Your computer stops responding or locks up often
•	Your computer crashes and restarts every few minutes
•	Your computer restarts on its own and then fails to run normally
•	Applications on your computer don't work correctly
•	Disks or disk drives are inaccessible
•	You can't print correctly
•	You see unusual error messages
•	You see distorted menus and dialog boxes

These are common signs of infection—but they might also indicate hardware or software problems that have nothing to do with a virus. Unless you run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool and install industry-standard, up-to-date antivirus software on your computer, there is no way to be certain if your computer is infected with a virus or not. If you don't have current antivirus software installed or if you're interested in installing a different brand, you can try Windows Live OneCare free for 90 days or visit Windnows Marketplace for software from other companies.

Tip: Beware of messages warning you that you sent e-mail that contained a virus. This can indicate that the virus has listed your e-mail address as the sender of tainted e-mail. This does not necessarily mean you have a virus. Some viruses have the ability to forge e-mail addresses.

Help, I need to make my Windows XP system legit again

Happy Day! I hope this newsletter find you all well. Before we get started,

"Recordable CD and DVD discs do not use a "burning" process. Heat causes a chemical change, but there isn't nearly enough heat to burn anything. It's much more like thermal printers, but instead of using the heat of the laser to cause a white material to turn black, it causes a change in the reflectivity of the surface, especially at the specific wavelength of the drive (infrared, red, and blue for CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs).

There is a protective layer--in fact, two of them. The dye is sealed by a thin layer of metal such as aluminum or gold, and then that layer is protected by a layer of lacquer. The writing and reading steps take place right through these layers."

Now, let's move on to the topic on how can you make PC that you bought used with an illegitimate version of Windows XP, legit again. The good news is that there are many options to make your XP system legit. The answer that surfaced most is to call Microsoft directly as they do have a program in place for just these type of cases. However, there are many folks who also recommended that you just buy an official copy of XP, which can be found with a little bit of effort, and restart from scratch. While there are other options such as upgrading to Windows Vista, it's advisable that you make certain that your system can actually run the newer operating system. However, if XP is what you desire, stick with it. There are many great options offered, and even many people who had similar cases to yours, who eventually found a solution to get their systems back up and running legitimately. So for starters, check out some of the selected answers from below
