So following your logic 32 bit supports 2^31? That would make it support up to 2GB RAM, whilst 2^32 is around 4 GB. I'm pretty sure it's not 2^63. Can you elaborate on that negative business? Since when can you have negative memory locations ?

basically i believe 64-bit can use more RAM than 32-bit but with 32-bit you can still reserve RAM to put on your integrated graphics, 32-bit can only handle 2 gigs of RAM 64-bit can handle 4 gigs, or up possibly, and while 64-bit is stronger, it has some compatibility problems so 32-bit is more convenient, it won't run your system to maximum power. Just my noob guess. You've got a lot wrong with it and a little right. 32 bit can support up to roughly 3.5GB of RAM 64 bit can theoretically support up to (IIRC) 128GB of RAM 64 bit compatability issues are a thing of the past as every major (and even minor these days) drivers have support for 64-bit OS's. Software wise both Vista and Windows 7 have a 32bit and 64 bit folders so you can run both 32 bit and 64 bit software on a 64 bit OS. Actually it supports 2^64 addresses, which is far more than 128GB RAM.

Increased by battery life from 2:35 to ~4 hours. Pretty nice.

45 minutes until it's done downloading.

There's constuctive uses for malware? (As that's what they have a talent for making.) Malware writers give jobs to security analysts, people in antivirus companies and pretty much everyone in IT security industry. They are dependent on each other. Nothing but a false sense of security. It's really easy to write a java applet (every skid wants a copy btw) that will download and install a backdoor on your PC, or simply destroy as much data as it can under default rights. Same goes for Mac and Windows.

Well, that site fakes being XP, and that's all it does. It can be easily redesigned to look like any OS though, since it's pure javascript and icons. As for malware, most recent malware functions well in any OS past Windows NT (windows-vise), if it's coded properly, and does not depend on static locations such as C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\

81.44.11.201 is your external (or "REAL") IP, 192.xx.. is your internal IP. Internal IP is only used within your home network, external is used everywhere on the internet. The chances of you getting DDOSed are extremely low either way.

This may be old to some, but I just found it, and it's pretty amusing. Website pretends to be a part of your windows XP desktop, does a fake scan (javascript) and throws malware in your face. I bet this is a really effective infection method too. I'm sure many inexperienced users will get scared and fall for it. HD version is available on youtube.

Only the noobiest (I know that's not a word) viruses and malware are removable using msconfig. It says an essential process crashed, which is what I was saying earlier. do shutdown -a, scan with a good scanner like 'cureit'. You will most likely have to do a massive system restore/format either way.

Not to sound mean or anything. But i'd suggest against getting a suggestion from someone with two post count and no signature/avatar. :| TRJ remover is alright, I've used it before.

Start, run, shutdown -a That will abort it, however it won't solve all of your problems. After you abort it, do a system scan and see if it solves the problem. It may not be a virus causing it, but a failing essential process.

I wouldn't trust no name brands.

Just timed it, going from Mac os x, to windows, to playing oblivion took 1:42 minutes. See? By that time I would've already been distracted by some other shiny object. Well, not all of us have a 5 second attention span.

8400 isn't great but you shouldn't have a problem with runescape.

Lol. Here's what it takes to boot into OS on a different hard drive: 1) Reboot 2) Enter bios 3) Change primary to secondary and secondary to primary 4) Save changes and reboot Whole process takes less than 30 seconds. It's actually easier than that! You can open up Bootcamp under Utilities and select Windows as your primary OS! You can do the same thing in Windows by clicking on the Bootcamp icon. If you ever want to boot into the secondary OS, you just hold the Option key upon startup or you can toggle the settings in whatever OS you happen to be using. And as Apple has begun further improving its line of graphics cards, more and more titles have begun supporting both operating systems. In addition, there are several virtualization application available for OS X, both free and fee, that allow you to run Windows/Linux within OS X. Well, I don't have a mac (i think they are overpriced), but that's how I boot from linux to windows on my desktop. Additionally you could use virtualbox, almost no performance loss except it can only use one core. You can run pretty much every OS on it, and the only limit to how many OS's you can have running using virtualbox is RAM. OS's are completely separated and if (for example) a virus affects a virtual OS, it won't affect the actual physical machine. The only bad part - can't play video games, but since my laptop has integrated video I don't care about that.

I seriously do not recommend you do that, and I really doubt it's going to change anything even if it continues working with that wire removed.

If you're in Canada: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/ ... CatId=3982 I don't think you will be able to get a decent laptop with a dedicated video card for less than 650$ unless it's refurbished.

It's working fine. It quits because it ends outputting hello world and there's to interrupt. This is how you need to do it (snippet from my program) int check() { if( Process( ), Modules( ), Users( ), Registry( ) == 0 ) { printf( "Nothing Detected\n" ); getchar( ); // - This will pause the program until you press any key. ExitProcess(0); return 0; } By the way I use Dev-C++, I recommend you do the same.

Oops, I went over the post and missed it.

Use unlocker http://download.cnet.com/Unlocker/3000- ... 93998.html

Download and run TCPView, see what connections are open. Redirect all strange outbound connections to 127.0.0.1 using the hosts file. If they still keep on appearing (they aren't downloaded from the web), boot into a live cd and do a scan from there.

Did you download the whole software bundle or just the addon?

Spammers care as it adds one more name to their arsenal and in turn increasing the probability that another computer could become infected with a trojan or virus. I'd have to disagree, doing that is probably the biggest waste of time ever. Yeah that's why this sort of thing happens all the time, right? :roll: There's a difference between a bot doing it and a person doing it.
