After our discussion at school about the different anti-spyware and anti-virus software. I was curious and did a little study of my own. I clicked on one to research it. (it was called anti-virus system or something like that). I put a lot of stuff on my computer!!! I was able to run a scan with AVG and it found the virus. I also ran spybot and it found some spyware and Malware on there. I got rid of most of it but left the malware known as smithfraud. I did a search for it and there was an anti-smithfraud malware thing. I downloaded it and ran it. I cleared it right up qucikly. My computer runs great now.
If you do a scan and you find virus or spyware and it is not able to clean it up. Find anti-virus/spyware speciafically made for that. It works everytime!

Troubleshooting lab
In the lab that we did last Friday had some problems with John Smith. John Smith could not log into his user name so I helped him with it.
Problem: It said that the password to that user name was not correct.
Hypothesis: He simply forgot or someone didn't give the right password to him.
Solution: go to CMD prompt run as admin:
2. Type in Net users (Username) then an * like this: NET USER JSMITH *
3.you can change the password there.
4. you will be able to log in with the new password.
Problem 2:
John Smith was not able to save his work.
Problem: He could not edit the document becuase it was a read only-file.
Hypothesis: Someone saved it as a read-only file.
Solution: You right click on the document and turn off the read-only box. John smith should be able to save that docuement now!

AVG, the Best Anti-Virus and Firewall Software!
Growing up we have used all sorts of anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall products. The best one that we have found is AVG. AVG immediately finds virus's and knows how to combat them. I recently ran a scan on my computer with AVG and it was able to change problems that were found (they were not viruses).
I love it because it works in the background and it doesn't bother you. It puts a great shield up to protect you from attacks and it is very easy to use. Every morning I turn on my computer it runs an update to fight viruses or spyware.
I remember working somewhere and they had Norton anti-virus on the company computer. It was running really slow. I downloaded AVG anti-virus and deleted Norton. I ran a scan all night with AVG and it found a huge virus. It was able to quarantine it and get rid of the virus.
