What is the worst virus known to man?
LoveLetter is the worm everyone learned to hate in spring 2000. The infection affected millions of computers and caused more damage than any other computer virus to date. Users were infected via e-mail, through Internet chat systems, and through other shared file systems. The worm sent copies of itself via Microsoft Outlook's address book entries. The mail included an executable file attachment with the e-mail subject line, "ILOVEYOU." The worm had the ability to overwrite several types of files, including .gif and .jpg files. It modified the Internet Explorer start page and changed Registry keys. It also moved other files and hid MP3 files on affected systems. Visit Symantec's Security Response for instructions on how to remove LoveLetter.

Do icons on your desktop slow your computer down?
They slow it a bit as they use some of its virtual memory.
I doubt it very much, but will be interested to see the correct answer to this.
Yes they do slow down your computer. Particularly if you store big files on your desktop. Many people have like 40+ shortcut icons. One shortcut is roughly 25Kba big multiply that by how many icons you have and there you are. The solution is:
Remove all the big files from your desktop. If your hard disk is full get some external usb hard disk and move all your movies and pictures there. Then update you antivirus and antispyware and run a full scan. After that a defragmentation is a good idea. If the problems still persist then you should use a decent registry cleaner. If you are not sure which one to use maybe you could do what I did. Visit the http://thebestofregistrycleaners.com

WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH 1988 Chevy Cheyenne 1500 heater defrost and ac all stopped working?
Check your fuses!
Is Norton Antivirus a good thing to have on computer?
Norton is the best protection software currently in shops. Maybe Antivirus would not be the best but, Norton 360, which is the best of their products is definetly good for your computer. It will immediately tell you if you have a threat on your computer and it will automatially update itself to the latest version. Avast is one of the worst and cheapest security systems that is used, it causes pop-ups constantly and will not stop threats coming to your computer.
The ac on your 2000 Chevy Tahoe suddenly stopped working what could be wrong?
Recharge it. You should be able to go to your local Pep Boys or whatever and buy a can with an adapter. Your car being a newer car should have the newer AC system built into it. Check with mentioned auto store first. Otherwise you can do it yourself. Different places on all cars but look near one of your engine bay walls...find something that look like AC lines and there should be what looks to be an oversized "bicycle tire cap"...it's not always black like a bike cap...sometimes green sometimes dark red. Hook the can up which comes supplied with a hose and press away. Come to think of it there are probably directions on the back of the can. Good luck.
What does a virus do to a cell?
Well, first the virus "burrows" into it's host (The cell) then it regenerates and more viruses are born. Later, the host cell bursts open and more viruses invade other cells.

Where does the computer go on a 1998 Buick Century?
Remove the air filter hose and front cover, then remove the two screws on the top of the air filter box. The top will tilt away from you, then slide out. Under that is the computer (you can see where all the wires go in on the left side of the air filter assembly).
if its an automatic it could be in the park/reverse safety switch my car works like that
AnswerYou will have to buy a new key from a dealership!!! 37.50 for my set from berger Chevy. The metal peice in the middle of your key with the rubber around it has worn out causing the link for the security to be incorrect thus not allowing you not to start your vehicle.As a service electrician, I saw this many times. I would bet a paycheck on the fact that there's a GFI you haven't found yet, or a tripped breaker that doesn't look tripped. Start at your breaker panel. Without forcing them enough to actually turn them off, wiggle the breaker handles slightly to see if one just shoots to the tripped or off position. If none of them are the culprit, it's probably a hidden GFI. Keep in mind the common location for GFI's: Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors. Don't think that the second floor GFI can't control the outside receptacles. When it comes to troubleshooting, you'll realize that a lot of wiring routes follow no logic. Also, I've seen many garages lined with stuff to the point that you can't see the walls. You'll have to actually search along the whole wall to find those GFI's. ----
If you do not understand the work well enough to accomplish it yourself properly and safely, don't try it. Consult a professional electrician, as they are proficient enough to do it properly and safely. When working on electrical circuits and equipment, make sure to de-energize the circuit you will be working on. Then test the circuit with a definitive means to make sure it is off. (Multimeter with metal tipped leads, voltage tester with metal tipped leads, etc., not a non-contact tester, which is non-definitive.)

2002 escape the scanner says misfire on6 cylinder?
Misfire on Cylinder 6 would mean replacing the spark plug (less than $5) or coil (about $80). Cylinder 6 is on the front. (easier to reach than #1, 2, and 3). This is usually just a bad plug, but could be due to water in your spark plug hole or in the gas. If it only happened one time, there is probably no need to worry unless it occurs again repeatedly. If so, you should troubleshoot your ignition system and perhaps the fuel injector for that cylinder. Keep in mind that since it only occured on cylinder #6, it would not be caused by anything that would effect the other cylinders, say for instance low voltage or a bad fuel pump. If A Coil Is Bad You Will Also Get An Overtemp Code. Along With The Misfire Code, almost never is this a bad plug unless someone just replaced their own plugs and have the gap messed up or the wrong plug in the engine.
