Should a computer be shut down or left running?
if u have your computer performing automatic updates i would keep it running. i bought my current computer in 1998 and it hasn't been shut down for more than 20 hours since I've had it.they don't use much current and they seem to perform better when the components are kept at a constant temperature rather than a cold state
While it's not a virus per-se, it changes your homepage, hijacks new tabs in Firefox (not tested in other browsers) and changes your default search engine to it's own ad-riddled search page, and resets these values on restart if you try to change them. Less a virus and more a nuisance, it still takes away from your browsing experience.
try reinstalling limewire or any of the other files it uses...also, most file sharing programs are p2p, which sometimes when someone tries to get information from you, the computer will shut down because it sees the person trying to access the file as a potential threat, so (dont blame me if your computer starts getting viruses, adware, or spyware for this) if youre using a firewall, set it so it always lets the program through and have access to all non-critical files.
another answer-- i came across something that someone can do to you're computer that an make it automatically restart when you press something i don't remember how it was done but it was done. the only way to stop it is to find the person who did it and ask them to remove it or find the file you're self

When the Greeks left the wooden horse outside Troy they also left the spy Sinon to be captured by the Trojan forces.
Sinon explained to the Trojans that the horse was a charm to get the Greek ships home safely, and that if the Trojans could take the horse inside their city it would protect Troy from future Greek attack.
The idea was that the Trojan's claimed the horse as a gift, hoping to benefit from it; but this was what led to the fall of their city.
A virus which describes itself as an app plays the same trick: it looks like a gift, but in fact is a poison.
So Trojan is the correct term.

Why is it hard to detect and remove a Trojan?
A Trojan Horse is so hard to detect because of the way that many Trojan horses are written. Much like the Trojan horse presented to the Greeks by the Trojans, this deadly piece of programming poses itself like a popular game or a music or something that people want. When it is downloaded, it can become memory resident, meaning that it loads itself into the registry and hard drive and stuff like that.
Reason why its so hard to detect is because when a Trojan Horse it written, it usually is designed to kill and processes that are antivirus software processes. For example, Avira Personal Antivirus is called avguard.exe. A simple Trojan horse can automatically detect your antivirus and disable it. If you don't have antivirus to begin with, then that's even worse. Without updatedantivirus software, it is near impossible to detect the latest Trojan Horses, although it can be done.
Now onto the reason why its so hard to remove the darn things. When Trojan Horses load themselves into the registry, they are near impossible to find without time and patience. The problems double when you have 20 million things installed on your computer. Everyone of those programs have a registry key, which allow them to be executed. Delete the key, and the program cannot run. A Trojan horse also works in this manner. The huge problem is finding the registry key in between all of the other hundreds of registry keys.
If you suspect a registry key might be the Trojan Horse's registry key, then i suggest consulting a professional, or if you can't get a hold of one, send me a message @

Who is the first filipino who discovered the computer virus?
A computer virus is not something necessarily something you discover like human viruses. It is actually a small computer program one takes the time to create and design in order to penetrate the normal functionality of another computer program.
The idea of developing a virus usually doesn't surface until a large number of computers become available to people. The first computer available to consumers was in 1974 in the U.S. by IBM. Philippines was still a developing country and the understanding, need, and cost for computers were not very popular during this time.
However, some Filipinos working for IBM or institutions that had the budget for computers in the U.S. may have had an opportunity to recognize the vulnerability in computers through the development of a virus or a computer program designed to bypass a computer's security functions.
The first Filipino who discovers a computer virus is most likely the first Filipino who created it - and because of the malicious intent and risky consequences for building any virus, it is unlikely that any creator will ever reveal themselves including a Filipino computer programmer.
So an answer to your question will never be accurate.

What is a multi-level directory system?
A directory is a logical grouping of files. By maintaining several directories the file manager can permit the same file name to be used in separate directories to refer to independent copies of the same file or completely different files.
The contents of a directory - a list of file names and their associated information - are stored in a special file called a directory file which is assigned a file name which distinguishes it from non-directory files. By allowing directory file names to appear alongside non-directory file names in a directory, the file manager is able to link separate directories hierarchically as shown in figure 1. The directory at the top of the structure is given the special name, ROOT because the hierarchical structure resembles an upside-down tree. The directories below the root directory are known as subdirectories.
