Does toontown give your computer viruses?
Toontown does not give you any virus, if u do get a virus it has to be from another game or website you go to. I have played it for 3 years now but i am too old now. Toontown is really safe, and the down load they tell you to do is so you can access it easily so don't be alarmed. Toontown is owned by Disney and they clean it if they notice a virus, which they never have.
If you download toontown at toontown.com, you're computer will have a BIG viruses! So do NOT download. If you want to play toontown so bad, you can buy it in the store. But I don't know what store and what cost.
Does smile box give you a virus?
I'm wondering the same thing. I love the scrap booking software, but after installing it my system ran extra hard and kept coming out of hybernation....then
after accepting the latest updates I ended up with a Trojan. I'm worried if I should install it on my new laptop or not.
SmileBox
is a popular application that is used to make collages, scrapbooks and slide shows. While the application by it self is not malware
or a virus, the creators of this app are using some deceptive monetizing methods. If you have downloaded this program and installed it without closely checking every installation progress window you will also install a browser toolbar and your homepage will be changed to mystart.smilebox.com
Furthermore SmileBox
could have been installed on your PC while you were installing some free software downloaded from Internet, some software developers are bundling such third party apps to monetize their own programs. As stated above SmileBox
is not a computer security threat by itself though having this software installed on your PC could put your privacy and PC security at risk.Why
should you uninstall
SmileBox
from your computer?
- Smilebox
changes your default search engine (most commonly Google, Bing, etc.) provider to search.smilebox.com
- This app changes your default homepage to mystart.smilebox.com
- SmileBox
can come bundled with third party free software and can install on your computer without your knowledge.
If you have installed SmileBox
on your computer yourself and you are happy with the services that you receive you shouldn't do anything, however the fact that this app uses deceptive monetizing methods which could put your privacy at risk clearly shows that this app should be eliminated from your PC. The choice is yours.

How do you kill all computer viruses?
The only certain way to eliminate all computer viruses is to initialize the hard drive (this erases everything on it) and then re-install the operating system and all of the application programs from their original disks.
After this, you must immediately go online and install all operating system updates (patches, service packs)
From my experience, they screen every little file for virus codes. For instance, if something is trying to rewrite a file with an extended name into your System 32 file, the virus blocker will stop this rewrite and quarantine the extended file into a separate vault run by the software.
List three tasks that an antivirus program can perform?
An anti virus is basically a tool to detect and defend your computer against malicious software.
The three tasks that an anti virus performs are:

Quarantine action is done in order to block the virus from causing further damage to the system till a suitable tool is developed by the software company. In most cases when you update your anti virus quarantined items are scanned and if a tool is available to clean it then it is done otherwise the virus stays in quarantine.
