Bit if an odd one I'm hoping to get some help with... I'm running Win 7 Ultimate x64 and have been for some time now on this particular machine. I use remote desktop to access the machine from elsewhere and it's always worked fine up until recently (late March/Early April). There was a single...

Ok, about two weeks ago I seemed to have gotten a virus that we believed to have been some how related to the google toolbar. We could not open the anti-virus, or do to much from my user account, but everything works fine on my moms user account, so she ran the anti-virus and what not. With no...

I am/have tried to create a new user account, specifically to take the place of a suspected corrupt user account (per MS Moderator posts re Excel not responding repeatedly when copying). I have looked around the web, MS support sites, and read posts all over a couple of forums and am trying to...

Hi guys, I recently acquired a virus on my system which has made my user profile disappear (when clicking on Windows Explorer then C: and then finally 'Users' folder. All of the data is still on the drive as it is as full as it was before). I am running Windows 7 and got around this...

I just got a new i7 with windows 7 64 bit on it yesterday. Everything was slow, and I figured out why, but don't really understand why, or what I can do to keep it from happening in the future. Yesterday I attached it to an external NTFS drive that had a bunch of bad sectors, copied over...
