New: Windows 7 Forums!

From Keith Ward, About.com GuideNovember 28, 2009

Follow me on:

It's time to really get the Windows 7 discussion going. I've created a new Windows 7 forum here, and have created a few message threads to get you going.

I'm hoping the Windows 7 forum becomes one of your go-to sources for help, advice and encouragement for using Microsoft's brand-new operating system.

I've kicked things off with three message threads:

  • Windows 7 problems
  • Windows 7 tips and tricks
  • Windows 7 randomness -- this one is for Windows 7 discussions that don't fit neatly into another Windows 7 category.

Note that I don't want to be the main contributor here. If you're using Windows 7 extensively, any help you can give to others would be greatly appreciated. If you have a concern or question, ask the huge About.com community, and I'll bet you'll get a quick answer.

Let me know what you think of the new Windows 7 forum, and how I can make it better.

My friend’s laptop has the Anti virus Soft Platinum installed. This software is preventing any other anti virus program on her computer to work. I have tried to install the AVG free software, but it keeps telling me to uninstall the Anti virus Soft Platinum software, but it doesn’t show up in the add/remove programs. I have used windows defender, Microsoft windows malicious software removal tool, and Microsoft security essentials http://mysecurityengine.dontexist.com – spyware remove
and none of these programs detected the Anti virus Soft Platinum software. I did download spyware doctor and it scanned the computer and found 100 hits of spyware, but the program will not remove the adware/spyware unless I pay for it. I never brought that kind of software before, usually if I get adware/spyware on my computer I just zap it and reload it. I’m thinking that’s the best thing to do for my friend but she really doesn’t want me too. So any suggestions would be great.
