Happy 2011 Everyone

Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas New Year break. Am looking forward to seeing you all in January. Bet we all have many questions for Rajiv.

Hope you didn't work too hard during the break Rajiv.

Best wishes to everyone and your families.

Thank You Everyone!

A big Thank You to each one of you for the lovely gifts. It has truly been an honour for me to be able be amidst you and share my knowledge and help you all have a better computing experience. It has become a way of life for me now to be with you every alternate saturday. I will definitely continue with you all as I have conveyed to Jude in the next year and was touched by some of you who said you'd cry if I didnt continue.

I look forward to starting lessons next year in mid January ... Till then it's adieu from me though I'm just a blog message or email away.. Take care & Merry Christmas to all of you & seasons greetings for the new year!

Hi Rajiv,
Could you explain to us how you detect a virus in your computer and how to get rid of it! I had a scare Wednesday night with the message below:
Security Tool Notification,
Spy ware IE Monster process is found.
This virus is trying to send your password from internet browser (Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox and Outlook and others) from the third party.
Click here to protect you data with Security Tool.

Security Tool Notification,
Harmful software has been detected at your PC. Click here to deactivate it.

It claimed it had detected so many hundred Trojans and Worms. I ran a Comprehensive Scan with my Norton 360 and it found only one item which it fixed straightaway.

In my Startup Manager I have 35 programs. Which of these programs can I turnoff. How delayed items do works?
