All I get in IE is a blank page, and at the bottom left of the page is a yellow icon with a red exclation point on it. Does this mean that it contains something malicious, or is IE just being cautious? How do I get...

I used to also have Ad Aware, when I was on Win. XP, but they it is not yet compatible with Win. Vista. What others are as good as these two and are compatible with Win.Vista?

Anyway if I change the motherboard for a completely different one, will my Vista 64 require re-activating? If so will this happen without any problem or will it be taken as an attempt to install my copy on a second machine and...

Hi, I've just downloaded a free CAD program - popular one - A9Cad - and the shortcut has on it a security icon. Obviously this has something to do with a secuity issue but I don't know what. I've checked permissions etc, and the only thing that seems different to other securities with shortcuts to other programs is the addition of INTERACTIVE to group or user names. Is this a problem? Does...

When I click on "show blocked programs" the blocked program is shown but when I highlight it, the option to "Allow" is grayed out.

If I try to change the TPM Owner PW on my Vista PC, I have...

I use the Spybot feature that provides an updated Hosts file (with nefarious sites pointing back to the localhost). Windows Defender real time protection keeps notifying me that it has (or wants to) change the Hosts file back to the original. In looking at Defender's options, I only see one way to prevent this action, i.e. to enter the path to the Hosts file into the "Do not scan these...
