Not for the bike, for my laptop. I am trying to change my browser from Internet Explorer to Chrome and I go thru the steps to load it and it says it is loaded, but it does not appear to be there. It does not show up in my programs section either. I tried to download Foxfire, but it made all kinds of changes to my computer, so I uninstalled it. What am I doing wrong? RandyA

My PC was fine and dandy on Thursday PM. I go on Friday AM and my desktop only had the wallpaper and one icon, the recycle bin. START, PROGRAMS,,,, none found. Windows Explorer,, no user files, programs unuseable. Cutting to the chase, the files are there but Icons and program listings are gone. Files (pictures, documents and such) are found, but not in folders. I do have a newer AV program in use, WebRoot (Essentials, a cloud AV product. been ok for months). So, my son, who is more current on PC installs, is working on restore. Said it's pretty nasty. There are several IT pro's here. Do you know what virus took me down? I have googled for info, found some info, but no one says what the virus is. Anyone know this one,,, and how to avoid it. Thanks, Mike G.

Been using AVG free edition for several years up till now it did a good job. After doing a few different scans with other trusted online scanners, found 3 different Trojans hiding on my system ! I've got them cleaned out now and think it's time to switch AV programs . What AV programs are doing a good job these days?

Anyone have any knowledge about a malware called anti virus pro? I started my computer at the office this morning and this program came up and said it was scanning for a virus. This is a scam. I turned off my computer and restarted. This program opens up and starts scanning. It has disabled all of my programs. I can't run any of the malware programs. This happened with another program before and a google search had blogs from people all over the US that had this problem and one guy had a detailed report on which files to delete from the registry. I did that and got rid of the program. This one is tough and there isn't any info on the web. I found the program but can't get it out of my computer because it has locked out all the other programs. Anyone know anything about this program or how to get it out? I am shut down.

In Mobile we have had three bikers killed in two days. Two of them,the car driver turned in front of the bike and kill the riders. The other one this afternoon was killed while trying to pass a truck on a two lane road and the truck made a left turn as the bike was trying to pass. I have contacted my state representative for a law for safety programs for both motorcycles and awareness programs for car drivers. The first biker was killed by an 82 year old. Problemly could't see well enough to drive. Please drive safe and watch out for the other person. ttew47
