> it will harm your computer

Did it report this, or _MAY_ harm your computer?

It's up to you to decide whether to "trust" the source from where you're downloading. For example, if you accessed 'www.adobe.com' and tried to download Adobe Reader 9.3,
then you can "trust" that the downloaded file will _NOT_ harm your computer.

Sounds like you have been infected with malware.
make sure your anti-virus software is working and up to date.
You may need to purchase and run software to remove the infection
Ad-Aware is a good product for that

Where can i download the installer of canon ip1300 coz i ve lost my cd installer?

Canon does not show a support page for an ip1300. Here is the download page for the ip1500. Perhaps you made a typo error or the 1500 software will support your machine. If it doesn't work, just uninstall it...no harm done.

Good Luck

When i open any site the message warning visiting this site may harmful to your computer and blank and blocked the windows. what is the solution.

The message "this site can harm your computer" means that the site is listed as a phishing or malware site. Actually, you can turn it off (there is an option in "under the hood" options tab), but it's not recommended., because it will not inform you of any other malicious sites. However, if this error appears for every site you login into, try installing a good anti virus software that also scans websites (I use Kaspersky anti-virus) and turn off the feature.

I get runD1132 error every time I open up PC

RUNDLL32 is the Microsoft Windows program that loads DLLs into memory so
that they can be used by specific programs or by Windows. This behavior
could be associated with a programs not responding properly or is associated
with spyware programs and viruses. Anti-virus software and firewalls do not
fully protect your system against the majority of spyware and privacy
threats. Spyware is commonly bundled with software downloads, attached to
e-mails, or transmitted through networks so it can appear to be legitimate
software, but once installed it can be nearly impossible to detect and
remove without the help of a dedicated spyware removal tool such as:

Ad-Aware 6.0 (build 6.181)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com

SpyBot 1.3
http://www.safer-networking.org/

SpyWare Blaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html/

HiJackThis
http://www.spychecker.com/program/hijackthis.html

Please make sure that you download the updates for each of these programs to
ensure complete detection of known spyware programs. Although nothing is
absolute in removing spyware and keeping it off, downloading and executing
the programs above can dramically decrease future infections.

Also please utilize free virus scans from the following sites:

Trend Micro
http://www.trend.com

Bit Defender
http://www.bitdefender.com

Panda
http://www.pandasoftware.com/

McAfee
http://www.vil.nai.com/vil/stinger

After Spyware / Adware is remove, you may get an error finding files on
reboot

After you use anyone of these programs (with the exception of HiJackThis)
you may receive an error of some sort after rebooting your system. This is
pretty common. Many spyware programs add themselves in the Startup location
and execute when Windows boots. If you recieve an error when rebooting after
removing spyware, do not panic. This is more than likely a startup remnant
trying to access the spyware program that is no longer on your computer.
HiJackThis is a great utility to find and remove these startup remnants.
However, there is a less technical way of removing these items:

(1) Click START to RUN and type: msconfig
(2) Select the STARTUP tab
(3) Uncheck the file that pertained to the startup error message you
received
(4) Click APPLY and OK
(5) Reboot your system

If this fails to fix the startup error message after reboot, there are still
options:

(1) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup
(2) Delete the icon that pertained to the startup error message you received
(3) Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup
(4) Delete the icon that pertained to the startup error message you received
(5) Reboot your system

Computer

The anti spyware software should not conflict with your anti virus software.
You can download two good free anti spyware programs:
http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007/3000-8022_4-10045910.html
AVG also has a free version.
