I don't know but it kinda sounds weird, so I wouldn't recommend going on there
I Think it's one to me. Or free software could bundle up in it.
What software allows you to view all the files and folders which are saved in a computer?
I have no idea why you would ask this question. For windows, windows explorer is the built-in file browser. For mac, finder is the default file browser. As for linux.... if you've already installed it on your computer then you probably would have sufficient knowledge. Maybe you should word it differently?
When you delete Trojan virus off your computer why does your computer stop working?
You computer is working furiously to get rid of the virus, but it has not stopped working. give it a while to finish and it will be okay.
I am assuming that the question is "what is a scam virus?" A scam virus is usually in the form of an email from someone you may know or not with a title such as VIRUS Alert etc. It will then go on to describe some form of destructive sounding program that will destroy your files etc. One famous one is the teddy bear virus where users we told to navigate to a particular file in their windows system that had a teddy bear icon and delete it. This file was in fact an authentic MS Windows file. My advice is whenever you get an email of any sort like this don't act on it until you have gone to one of the major anti virus software sites (Symantec, Trend, CA etc) and check out their current threat library and their scam virus library. Their are many types of these scams that are sent around mostly to waste time (yours) and to inconvenience the users as well.

This also relates to other scams going around such as the deadly new spider found email etc. All can be found to be scams using a search from your favorite search engine.
What was the first virus detected in arpanet?
by Khalid Betani
A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself. The Creeper virus was first detected on ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet, in the early 1970s. Creeper was an experimental self-replicating program written by Bob Thomas at BBN Technologies in 1971. Creeper used the ARPANET to infect DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system. Creeper gained access via the ARPANET and copied itself to the remote system where the message, "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!" was displayed. The Reaper program was created to delete Creeper.

Not necessarily. Let's take Aobo Mac keylogger as an example, which is not virus. Aobo mac keylogger is neither spyware nor virus. Virus or other spyware is normally installed as a Trojan horse, then used to steal the users' personal information like online accounts, bank account information, etc. A distinct feature of virus is that it is installed automatically and stealthily into your computer by malicious links or bundling to another piece of software and then infects your computer without your notice. Usually, they are vicious programs used by those bad guys to do bad things. However, if someone wants to install a mac keylogger in your computer, it is necessary for him or her to have physical contact with your computer. Otherwise, the keylogger can not be installed. Generally speaking, anyone else can not install a keylogger in your mac without your permission unless they have other access to your computer. If you use a keylogger on your mac, all the activities on your computer will be under your control, including when and how your computer is used.
Is tekkit free and virus free?
Tekkit is free but you have to download it. It should be virus free but, your security program (if you have one) should tell you if there is a threat.
Rootkits dig deep into your system's vital functions and fill it with malicious files. These are really hard to get rid of, as it's deep in the system.
How effective is an antivirus programme?
That greatly varies, depending on the program. No program is perfect, but some are pretty good, others are nearly useless. Even a nearly useless program is better than none though. Just make sure it is genuine. A good antivirus program will generally catch at lease 85%-95% of the viruses and worms which find their way to your computer.
Some viruses, especially Trojan loaders and self-downloading viruses can slip through. They look safe when they are first loaded, then begin slowly downloading the dangerous portion. Once it is done, it starts doing it's damage.
Avira, for example, has stopped several viruses on my computer. It has let at least one through, however.
Avast also seem effective, perhaps more so than Avira, but it uses more system resources than most.
Some fairly good free antivirus programs are: Avira (home edition), AVG, and Avast (slow, but one of the best).
Some fairly good paid antivirus programs: Avira and McAfee
