Answer 1 :
Sorry this recovery disc must be purchased with a Laptop. but friends one should work as well
Answer 2 :
Are you talking about a Windows restore disk? If you don't have one available, you can go to www.download.com and look for Active Boot Disk. It's saved me twice already. They have a free trial (you can only use once..per email it seems...) But it will create a boot up disk for you on CD or USB. It's real easy to do. Free and I know it works. But not sure if that's what you're looking for? You can probably search for "restore" or something at www.download.com and you can narrow your search to just free stuff by clicking free in the left hand bar. Good luck to you

Sprint Mobile Broadband
Sprint Mobile Broadband?
I heard something about a chip to put in your computer for wireless internet. I've read that all the US is covered on it but I'm curious if you can make it work in Europe or if there is another brand or something where I can bring my laptop to Spain and have wireless internet. Thanks!

Answer 1 :
there is no "chip" to put in your computer. You are talking about a wireless card that you put in ur laptop to access the sprint wireless internet.....and yes it should work in europe as long as Sprint has service for the internet there
Answer 2 :
no, it only works within the US

Answer 1 :
For THAT type of Virus, you must either have a LIST of the applications and files available in your Windows, System, and System32 folders to Compare.....and selectively remove the ones that don't belong...or, put in a System disk, and re-install a fresh copy of Windows, but leaving the other files intact. That will allow you to at least run your Safe Mode, so you can use whatever program you need to get rid of the malware or virus. http://malware-virus-spyware-remover-tools.blogspot.com/
Answer 2 :
Heuristics is about looking for things that aren't known to be viruses but look like they could be. The majority of antivirus programs use heuristic scanning so that they can catch new viruses that they don't have listed in their database. Each time you update your antivirus program, it's being sent a list of new viruses and info on how to recognise them and that info gets stored in the database. But viruses that no antivirus company has seen and analysed yet could get to your computer. Heuristic scanners look for things like: - does this program want to access the internet? - is it taking down details of the key strokes on the computer? - does it want to make changes to the registry? - does it clearly say that it comes from Microsoft and have Microsoft's special code in it? (To some extent, I'm making up those things... they ask that type of question but I'm not sure exactly what - still, it helps you understand what is going on.) So a heuristic virus is something that your antivirus thinks is probably a virus but it hasn't received info that tells it for sure that it is or isn't. Sometimes they are right and sometimes they are wrong but the extra safety of heuristic scanning is suitable for many computer users

Travel Advice for picking up laptop
Travel Advice for picking up laptop?
I need to get from Rome to Granada, Spain, round-trip, for the purpose of picking up my laptop and iPod that I will not be using while backpacking! Should I go by plane, train or bus?! I am confused...is it even possible to go from Rome to Granada by train? Thanks so much.

Answer 1 :
Is there no one in Granada who can send them by courier service to you in Rome? In any case, go by plane! The price will not be cheap but at least you'll be saving a lot of time if your sole purpose for the trip is to collect these items. Iberia flies Rome to Granada via Madrid. Ryanair + train may be a cheaper option. Go by train from Rome to Bergamo, and fly from Bergamo to Granada-Jaen. Rome is a long way away from Granada. An overland journey means travelling along the west coast of Italy northward from Rome, continue into French riviera and south of France, then along the east coast of Spain all the way to Granada. It's over 2,200 km of driving distance!!! Besides, I am not aware of availability of direct train and so you will have to break your journey down. A lot. Rome-Milan (4 hours by Eurostar, 3 1/2 hours by Eurostar-fast), Milan-Barcelona (14 hours by night train), Barcelona-Granada (11 hours by night train), so you could travel up to 29-30 hours!!! Not to mention, it's going to end up very expensive anyway. If you want to go with a bus option, Eurolines run from Rome to Madrid, and from there take a train to Granada. The bus journey is some 30-31 hours, while the train another 4-5 hours
