Problems with computer..... HELP me please!!!
I have a couple of questions for everyone. Does anyone happen to know how to refresh your IP Address on Windows ME? :confused: Aso does anyone know of a program that I can download for free that will remove and block any spyware or viruses? :confused: I have Spybot and it will remove the bad files, but it doesn't block them in the first place.
I want to thank everyone for helping out! ;D

Please help me out if you can.
Re:Problems with computer..... HELP me please!!!
Question is/ why do you want to refresh your IP addy. You CAN, but its kinnda up to your ISP do do so and actualy doing it from home might(read will) cause a conflict. Its realy up to your ISP to do so when it comes to internet IP addys. And just so you know I'm MCSA/MCSE/CCNS/A+/ and Net+ certified. My friends always told me I was certifiable, now I have proof.

You didn't say why you want to renew it, but .... I don't have Windows ME but its probably just like WIndows 98. Go the Start menu, and select "Run..." Type "winipcfg" and the ENTER key. There you go. WinIPCFG shows you your current IP address, and has an option to renew your IP address (which can take several moments to complete).

Kryssy.
I have both a firewall and McAfee. The firewall blocks a lot of crap from getting into my computer and then the McAfee does a great job keeping any viruses contained and quaranteened. McAfee was a yearly charge...but Zone Alarm was free, and it's very easy to setup.
Try out www.zonealarm.com if you want to get the firewall portion of it, which is free.

I installed Ad-aware and Spybot. Together, they claimed to have found 100 (!) or so spies and takeover programs. One of them cleaned up an annoying home page that used to take over my browser every couple days.
They were free downloads. I think my sysop got them at zdnet.com.
Re:Problems with computer..... HELP me please!!!
Start
Run
Enter command
In the terminal window type:
ipconfig /release
then type:
ipconfig /renew
Download Spyware begone...purchase it, upgrade frequently....
works for me!

Damn.. It's one thing to be "opinonated" and its another to be a BITCH. This is an example of either a guy who wants to be a woman, or a woman with her tampon in sideways(pad on adhesive side up etc)
There is absolutely no need to be a bitch when soeone asks for help, if you don't know the answer try keepin your trap shut!

Darkness, you need to freakin chill out. You're on an uber-bitch rampage today. Knock it off. If you can't contribute to a subject, sit on your damn fingers and don't type.
Kryssy, unfortunately, the only way to rid yourself of Spyware is to actually get it first. Then, use Spybot and Adaware (I use both). I scan nightly, because you wouldn't believe the crap that gets in your computer during the day.
Also, make a habit of scanning your computer through housecall (online virus scan), as it's always updated with the latest virus definitions.
Unfortunately they haven't come out with an actual program that will stop Adware and Spyware from entering your computer. That's what they need to do.
In the 2004 version of Nortons, they also scan for spyware.
