Setting up new laptop?
Comments (23)give us the make and model number of your wireless router and we can likely help you do it pretty easily, most of them it is a very simple task, just enter the address for the router set up in your browser go to the correct tab in the router for security and select WPA2 as the security you want to enable then you will definitely have to choose a name for the SSID because you want to change that and this is what everyone will see as your network name so you do not want to use your name or something that will let them know oh I see that is lpinkmountains network, you want to name it something random, you will also have to set a password or key so that anyone wanting to get on your wireless network will have to enter that key into the blank before they are allowed on, This is the key that must be made up of random letters and numbers most of the time it will generate one for you and you can accept that one but what I advise to people is to WRITE IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY and tape it to the bottom of the router! You should also definitely change the standard password for gaining entrance into the router it self so that only you have that password to be able to get in and change settings, you can add that to the one on the bottom of the router. Most routers do have the internal firewall enabled by default that is something you will want to check since you will be in the router settings it needs to be on. This is not the same as your software firewall you will find the software firewall in your windows security center. you should not need the software or cd for the router to do this. just give us the info on your router and someone will help you....See MoreQuestion about Kaspersky Int.

Comments (7)the free ones like AVAST, AVIRA etc also have paid versions they make their money from those and are wonderful in that they also offer a free version to help those who can not afford to pay, the free versions have a bit less on them than the paid versions of course. It benefits everyone when each person can have good updated programs on their pc which is why many of the companies do offer a free version. In pay versions Kaspersky is an excellent choice, it is likely the one I would choose if I used a pay version it or Nod 32. I personally use AVAST free on my windows machines and feel it is an excellent product. The main thing to remember is layered security so along with your fully updated Antivirus you also need good antimalware programs like malwarebytes and superantispyware which are also free which should be updated and run full scans once a week or so. In addition having spywareblaster is another layer that protects you while online and requires no scans just update it weekly and hit the enable all protection button so the shield is green. And of course a firewall, if you have a properly configured router you have a hardware firewall there protecting you but you should have a software one also, vista and windows 7 have a decent one built in. SpywareBlaster SUPERAntiSpyware Free I think you have malwarebytes already? you will of course have to get Trend Micro fully removed from the pc before changing to any other antivirus program. as important these days is to make sure everything is kept updated and patched using Secunia tool makes that easy Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI)...See MoreKaspersky upgrade question-

In Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 product activation, license purchasing and migration is too easy. 3 Protection against unknown threats has been improved with the help of System Watcher. 4 Improved removal of incompatible applications during installation. Incompatible software detection is performed based on a list of incompatible applications. 5 Protection against unknown threats has been improved 6 Improved compatibility of Kaspersky URL Advisor from Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 with web browsers. The following web borwsers are fully-compatible with Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012: Internet Explorer version 6, 7, 8 and 9; Mozilla FireFox version 3.x and 4.x; Google Chrome version 7.x, 8.x, 9.x and 10.x. 7 File security detection. A function to define the file security before starting work with it has been added. For example, if you downloaded a file from the Internet and you doubt its security, check its reputation in Kaspersky Security Network. 8 Technologies of rootkit detection (rootkit is a program designed to hide the fact of system infection) have been significantly improved. The impact of the application on the system performance has been optimized for the most common online user scenarios: watching movies (including high-resolution (HDTV)), listening to the radio, searching and browsing websites, making calls via VoIP (Skype and etc.), online games and etc. 9 The applications efficiency has been improved and its impact on the computers performance significantly reduced. Intellectual system of updates downloading has been implemented. This system allows to download databases for the enabled application components, thus minimizing the volume of the downloaded updates and the time needed for download. 10 Touch-screen support is added. 11 The function to view tasks execution has been implemented within Task Manager. The function allows you to define how the system resources are consumed and review the status of executed tasks, thus optimizing computer resources.

The added actions include update start, virtual keyboard, list of problems and etc. 12 The interface of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 has been considerably re-designed: The main application window now displays all necessary information on your computers protection status, the active defense components, the up-to-dateness of the anti-virus databases, and the license period. Browsing of Kaspersky Lab news has become more convenient. The news provides information about events in the company, special auctions and discounts.

Comments (31)@harry_wild "know that in order to prevent a new virus or malware for your on going service; you have to get it from Microsoft in the first place!" You keep stating this, but provide no evidence. Why don't you provide some proof of it, if you think it's true. Just stating something doesn't make it true. . @ wolfie46 "Is there any problem running AVG and malwarebytes at the same time on a computer with windows 8.1?" Shouldn't be any problem. Although it would probably be a good idea not to run scans by each, at the same time....See Moredebo_2006
