How old is the John McAfee of Computer Virus Fame?

John McAfee has never divulged his age or his birthday, although March 17 is frequently discussed as his birthday. However, some people believe that he is supernaturally old. A photograph, taken in 1893 in Virginia purports to show John McAfee as an army lieutenant. The face in the photograph is identical to John McAfee as he appears today - someone in his late forties or early fifties, yet the photo was taken nearly 120 years ago. This is clearly impossible, yet the face in the photo is identical to Mr. McAfee's appearance today. KGB operative Viktor Kusnetzov claims that Mr. McAfee was born in 1763 in Russia and that Mr. McAfee is the last living vampire.

What is a black hole in the sky and how does it formed?

There exists variant theories for the existence of Black Holes; one hypothesis has Black Holes being created from the collapsed stellar core of larger than three solar masses, while another has black holes predating stars and forming upon the instance of the Big Bang. In fact, the concept of a star growing or shrinking has little to do with gravitational accretion. So if a Black Hole is just a converted state of stellar evolution, then should we expect that the Black Hole size should be dependent on the amount of material being attracted and annihilated upon its Event Horizon? Per the current consensus, there is not a relevant relationship between the observable size of the accumulated bulge about the Black Hole and the size of the Black Hole itself.

And considering the Black Hole radiation jets act as the safety valve for the reactions within a Black Hole, one might speculate that, like a star, the size of the Black Hole has more to do with its internal reactions and less to do with the matter being converted upon its Event Horizon. Still another such theory has their formations predating galaxies and or even predating normal matter itself, existing unto the moment of the Big Bang itself (i.e. unfolding of SpaceTime into a traditional fourth dimensional condition).

How do you remove a virus that makes your computer restart every time you run LimeWire and other file sharing programs but cannot be detected in virus scans?

try reinstalling limewire or any of the other files it uses...also, most file sharing programs are p2p, which sometimes when someone tries to get information from you, the computer will shut down because it sees the person trying to access the file as a potential threat, so (dont blame me if your computer starts getting viruses, adware, or spyware for this) if youre using a firewall, set it so it always lets the program through and have access to all non-critical files.

another answer-- i came across something that someone can do to you're computer that an make it automatically restart when you press something i don't remember how it was done but it was done. the only way to stop it is to find the person who did it and ask them to remove it or find the file you're self
