Will Grand Theft Auto 4 slow down the computer?
It may depending on how good your computer is, if you do not meet the system requirements the game can get very choppy, this happened to me since i just bought it on steam the other day, i was only getting about 3 fps. Also make sure you have enough Hard drive space also (at least 17GB), if you fill up the rest of your hard drive with GTA IV, you may get bad results. So for best performance, run it on a more modern computer.
How do you remove a virus that stops antivirus update?
I am not sure I understand what you are asking? If you already have antivirus software on your system, it should have detected and at least quarantined the virus. Even if the software cant update, most good antivirus programs contain enough signatures to find most viruses without updating frequently. Here are a few things you can try:
1. boot your computer in safe mode and run a virus scan from there.
2. If you created a rescue cd from your antivirus program, try using it to run a scan.
3. download the microsoft malicious software removal tool and try that.

Does podcast mean only IPOD mp3 players can be used to download files?
No, "i" is a trademark for Apple products and iPod is an mp3 Apple product. Pod cast is any digital recording and can be accessed by any other electronic device; one in a computer, lap top, by mp3 player, etc. Pod does not necessarily mean "pay on demand" either. You can access most digital recordings for free. There is a debate on what "pod" really means but I think it's really more simpler than all the fuss. I'd like to think it just means "pod": a place where things can be kept, a bundle of things, a storage place. Pod cast is just another wonderful sibling of the internet; not a product of Apple, although we tend to think Apple created heaven and earth.
