I burned a bunch of cd's of a computer that was really infected with a bunch of viruses. If I go and copy those songs onto another computer, will it copy the viruses onto the disc and then the other computer?

of course, anything computer program or file can carry a virus.

Okay! can you make a copy of the disc, Yes...if you use Nero or whatever, some burner programs are setup to not make copies of copywrited material but they are outdated so just make sure you have the latest version of your burning program.\n\nCan you give a copy to your friend to use on their computer?\nYes and No\nYes the Eula does allow you to install the program on more than one computer, but it can only be active on one at a time.  so No your friend won't be able to activate the program without haveing a valid product key which if you already have the program you can get directly from Microsoft for a reduced price (although this means your friend could potentially be deactivating your copy of Office at the same time)\n\nSo\nyou CAN make a copy of Office\nyou CAN give the copy to your friend and they will be able to use it for 60 days after which it will have to activated.\nNo you can't activate on 2 different pc's

Viruses are designed to bypass normal file restrictions.  While a limited account means you cannot change system settings, the virus will find a way around that.  There are numerous way to achive that - sometimes the virus will copy itself to files that get run before you log into windows (and before the safety protocols get enacted).\n\nUnfortunately, running Windows, there is no way to prevent getting viruses.  If you have a good antivirus program it will reduce the number of them, and reduce the damage they do, but the only way to avoid viruses completely is to switch to Linux (even macs get viruses now).

Yes, here is the info on it from Symantec...they should have removoal instructions for it.  I would advise to do this quickly as that virus causes damage eventually to the hard drive and possibly CMOS.

If you have a cd burner in your computer you can. It's pretty self explanatory and once you put the blank cd in, you should be able to select the files you want to copy and then hit "burn" most cd burning programs are pretty user friendly.

Yes, save it somewhere else before you burn it. Then add it to the CD "compilation screen" in the CD burning software. Make sure you don't delete your downloads until after your CD has been burned/created.

I have been using Limewire for quite sometime and never had any problems but after a download I always check for virus on the file SHARE with my own anti-virus software. If you want something really safe go to (www.mp3searh.ru) you can download full cd´s for $1.18 or less and virus free check it out let me know if you do OK?

Have you checked to see how many programs are running in the back ground ?\n\nLike if you try to burn a DVD & your virus program is running your burner will take much longer.

Yes there is a way around this. A wonderful program called AnyDVD. It decrypts dvd's, but it also does the same for cd's. I would recommend the whole suite of their prodcuts (anydvd, clone cd, clone dvd). You can check it out at http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html It's bs that artists are doing this now, especially since we'll always find a way around it. Good luck

Yes.  In the upper right hand corner there is a burn CD option, if you have a CDRW you can hit that and it will burn your playlist.

No.  The software on the recovery disc is OEM licensed.  Putting it on a different computer is a violation of that license.\n\nI liked the suggestion you obtain a replacement recovery disc from Dell.  Seems like the easiest safest thing.

Yes that works fine, under your burner software there should be an option to make a data cd or a cd for files, something along those lines and you can copy whatever files you have on there up to the space available on the CD, if you have a lot of information your best bet might be to make a network between the two computer and transfers the file those ways and then theres no hassle in burning cd after cd, just drag and drop basically. just setting up the network will be the tricky part.\n\nIf you have a network do the following if not ignore the rest of this.\n\nIf you have an exising network at home make sure both computers are connected to the network and then setup a home or office network on your computer by going to my networks on the desktop of your computer or it might be on START-->MY NETWORK or START-->CONTROL PANEL--> NETWORK CONNECTIONS and then from there on the left you should see my network and then in there you should see create a home of office connection. Follow the steps and leave the part where it says MSHOME, then it will prompt you to restart.\n\nWhen you restart go back to the computer where you want to transfer files and go to my computer and then right click on your local hardrive and go to properites, then go to sharin, then click yes you do understand the meaning of it, then there you can click on share this drive and click on the let other user modify files.\n\nThen on the other computer go to my network places and you should be able to see the drive of the other computer there and then you can drag the files you want from there onto that computer.\n\n\nGood Luck

Definitely. Wiping your entire Hard Disk would delete the virus off but once again if you do not install any Virus Guard, you can still get them. So, after formatting and re-installing XP, install an Anti Virus software such as Norton Antivirus 2006 from http://www.symantec.com\n\nBYE

You can not simply copy across programs. You need to get the install discs for the programs and install them on your new computer. You can copy across the files, but without the programs installed you will be unable to open them.

You really should. This is because harmful viruses and other badstuff can infect your comp. through Limeware.

When it comes to computers, there are only a few stupid questions; this is not one of them.\n\nUnless your computer overheats (a rare occurence these days), you're fine.  You can scan for viruses all day & night if you want to, and if your computer can handle it.\n\nImmediately scanning everything you download is perfectly OK; I do that myself.\n\nAlso, as a side note, if you want to scan for viruses on your entire computer, you only really need to do that about once a week at most.

yeah, you can download games/files/songs/videos, etc.  and I'm sure some of them will have viruses.  But they're free!
