Download an antivirus programme like Microsoft Essentials (for a free one) or Norton AntiVirus and the flag will go away.

I had my AOL paid account hacked, I called Aol & canceled the paid aol, but thought I could still use a free aoll. How can I fix Thisi

You will need to apply for a new AOL account with a name and password. Don't use the name that you cancelled. It's blocked by AOL. Use a new name and new password.

Internet keeps disconnecting once expat shield is up, why?

That's because Expat Shield is loaded with pop-under ads and other pieces of junkware and malware that kill your internet connection or bring it to a crippled crawl.

How do I replace the Alternator on a 98 Saturn Sl1

Remove the plastic inner fender shield by turning the screw counterclockwise, then pulling the plastic free from the pop rivets. Set the shield aside. Disconnect the alternator's primary charge wire. Press the tension pulley firmly to release the tension on the primary drive belt, then slide the belt off of the alternator's pulley wheel. Unbolt the alternator from the mount by reaching into the engine compartment through the wheel well and turning the two mount bolts counterclockwise. Manipulate the alternator out of the engine compartment through the wheel well. Reconnect the primary charge post nut, securing the output wire back onto the alternator. Position a new alternator into the mount and secure it by turning its bolts clockwise. Replace the fender skirt shield by pressing it back onto its clips or pop rivets, then turning its screws clockwise. Replace the wheel and Reconnect the battery's positive terminal. Here you can find the Wholesale Alternators parts http://www.autopartspoint.com/products/alternator.html

Hi I have a security shield that keeps poping up telling me I have a trojan and a worm 38mof them. My McAfee tells me my computer is fine. But I can`t open up pages because this shield keeps poping up and...

A fella at work had this happen to his profile.
I fixed it for him.
I found http://www.2-viruses.com/remove-security-shield
on the above page it talks about putting in an activation code ( 64C665BE-4DE7-423B-A6B6-BC0172B25DF2 ) to the Security Shield app which shuts down the Security Shield and stops it from popping up.
Then you can delete it.
run some cleanup software

Security shield license key?

Security Shield is a rogue security software, a form of computer malware that deceives or misleads users into paying for the fake or simulated removal of malware, or that installs other malware. So you really don't want it on your computer. Instead of getting a license key for it, you need to remove it.

If it won't let you do anything on the computer, follow the instructions on this link to remove it. If you can install programs on your computer, follow only steps 7 and 8 from the above link to get Microsoft Security Essentials on and remove Security Shield.

I just pulled out my Kenmore built in dishwasher which was installed 4 years ago and see what looks like a blanket of sorts draped over the top and down the sides. Is this some kind of packing material...

The blanket you are referring to is not packaging material. This is an insulator blanket that not only keeps the underside of countertop and adjacent cabinets shielded from the heat of the dishwasher tub, but also provides a noise barrier. Without it, the dishwasher may genrate more noise, and you may feel more radiant heat given off when the dishwasher heats the water. This is supposed to remain in place and should not be removed.

How do I cancel a CA Internet Security subscription when I need an activation code for that. CA refuses to provide my activation code.

SPEAKING WITH MY EXPERIENCE: Either try Security Essentials from Microsoft OR Avast. There’s free software out there to try.

Helpful Free Software below Read On.

FREE SPYWARE
Download Spybot Search & Destroy. Restart computer, then run Spybot to see what spyware comes up, AND DELET IT.

FYI---Virus Protection-- 2 programs of virus protection will conflict with each other and will actually cancel out the protection. SO just download one.

Running Spybot Search & Destroy with EITHER Avast or Avg (great Free virus protection programs ) will keep a computer in good working condition. FREE

HERE ARE SOME LINKS, THAT WOULD BE BETTER:

Avira AntiVir
http://www.free-av.com/

NEW *****Somthing new FROM MICROSOFT.*** 2009 ---Security Essentials

There are alot of $ anti-virus and Internet security programs out there,

ie: Norton, McAfee, Panda, Bitdefender. If you would like to pay $ then get ***Kaspersky***-- 2010 ,

I feel that is the best for your money.

REMEMBER TO KEEP UP THE DAILY MAINTENANCE ON ALL OF YOUR COMPUTERS.!

Good Luck. If you think this is good information, , please rate me.
