What is the page file usage in the windows task manager?

PF Usage is an abbreviation for pagefile usage. Unfortunately the label is misleading as that is not what it is showing. This is actually the same as the commit charge. This can be more accurately thought of as potential pagefile usage: if everything in RAM that could be sent to the pagefile actually was, this is the space that would be required. A great deal of what is labeled "PF Usage" will actually be in RAM, not the pagefile. Actual pagefile usage, as shown in Performance Monitor, will typically be much lower. Memory management in modern operating systems is very complex. Do not try to read too much into what Task Manager might seem to be telling you. Chances are it does not mean what you think it does. Always remember this: Windows designers know more about memory management than you do. Windows know how it is using it's resources even if you do not. Larry Miller, Microsoft MCSA

Where do emails wait between one computer and another if your computer is not switched on?

They will be saved on the servers of the receiving user's email provider. For example, say I send a message to example@gmail.com. The email is sent to the servers at gmail.com, where it will wait until my friend logs on to receive it. Even if my friend were logged on at the time I sent the email, it would always pass through this server before reaching him. This transmission of email from the sender to the recipient follows a process called "Store and Forward". A single email message passes through several, maybe dozens of servers before it reaches its destination. Each server stores the message until it the next server is ready to receive it, at which time the server forwards the message to the next server along the chain. The last server in the chain (the server you download your email from) stores the message until your email client application program is ready to receive it, at which time the server forwards the stored message to your computer.

Is there a virus that plays music through your computer?

Yes actually from former knowledge i have gained there is! I wanted music from my friends computer he gave it to me. But it was downloaded from a BitTorrent website(for free music).Little did i know i opened a file and ended up getting a virus from it that plays music randomly.Even when all programs are closed!!! From what i have heard it attaches itself to your Web browser and begins to randomly play verry odd commercials or music as a parody of what real radio may sound like. Ive even heard of classical rock or middle eastern music on my computer when my internet is on.

Ive been told it recently has been brought to the forground of new viruses out there and that there is no way to get rid of it. My father has been an IT specialist for the most part of 25 years and he can only see one way of getting rid of it re-load windows and wipe the hard drive clean. This virus has been on my computer playing vulgar commercials with taunting phrases like "whoos your daddy i am"(evil laugh) for about 2 weeks.
