Thats pretty much it. Make sure its all up-to-date and you should be fine. Further to that you should make sure the software on you computer is up-to-date by using a software update monitor, to make sure all your programs are secure. Could be considered OTT but I'm also lazy.

You can access Disk Management by going to Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools. Double click Computer Management and then click Disk Management in the left hand column. Alternatively go to Start>Right click on Computer>Manage>Disk Management. See if they...

I had a similar problem a while ago and what it was that it played/burned cd's but not dvds, turned out that the dvd portion on the drive was busted. If it plays CDs then it cant be that. My advice is to buy a different brand of cdr and see if they work, sometimes you just get a duff batch...

Yes I can explain. Avira includes antispyware in its protection. The OP is also running ThreatFire and Winpatrol. Not to mention Windows Defender being pretty rubbish, the amount of computers I've cleaned of spyware with W/D running quiet happily oblivious taking up unnecessary resources. I...

Cool "win def" on the other hand is a virus/spyware. You dont need windows defender running if you have avira. Also I'd get ride of registry mechanic, its pants try Eusings Registry Cleaner which it much better.

Firstly what OS are you using? Second try putting a normal CD or DVD in the drive, do they work?

There could be a few causes for this. First go to Disk Management and see if the USB device is listed. If it is and there’s no drive letter assigned, see if you can assign a drive letter to the device. If the USB device is listed in Disk Management with an drive letter, right-click on its...

Please provide a link to Win Def.

Newgas, the reason why your having problems is because you're new to it. Basically with bittorrent you need to find the file you want. I tend to use a torrent search site that searches a large selection of sites. Then once found you find the one that has the most seeds, next look at the...

It sounds like you may have block the uninstallation program with your firewall therefore making unable to run.

Bittorrent will let you fill your HD with whatever you want for free, why pay??? I cant imagine those others hosting much of anything, otherwise they'd be extremely popular and as such probably wouldn't exist. The OP would have done all the things detailed within my earlier post. You fail...

So what you're saying is that you have to pay to get full speeds. Bittorrent is free and whilst some files dont come down at full speed from public trackers, if you join a private tracker which is free you'll get very fast downloads the only draw back here is a good ratio. If I was going...

1- Open Preferences > Connections in your utorrent Ensure "None" is selected under Proxy Server. Unless of course, you do intend to use proxies. The UDP tracker protocol is a high-performance low-overhead BitTorrent tracker protocol. It uses the stateless User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for...

No it doesn't mean start again, the file is still on your computer so re-download the torrent file, it will then find the file already on you system check it and continue downloading. Utorrent I find is a slow client I find vuse faster and piratebay is no longer what it was and any torrent...

Newgas, just redownload the torrent from the site. What client are you using?

I'm not sure I understand what you've wrote. You had a virus on one pc, used another, then today started the first pc with virus and want to know why it didn't tell you??? How did you find out you have a virus? What version of windows are you using? What security software are you using...

What tracker is it?

Well thats where your going wrong! Firefox is simply just a better browser.

You dont need codec packs if you have a decent media player installed such as VLC. I dont wait days for my files and if you know where to look you never find its something else. Besides someones always downloaded it before you so read the comments, very simple. ISPs have a job on their...

Depends on what your using. In bittorrent you need to find a well seeded file make sure you've encrypted the download, port forward on your router if needed and possibly limiting the upload speed. A BitTorrent tracker is a server that assists in the communication between peers using the...
