Have you done all your Microsoft updates and downloaded there security updates??? If not give that a try and make sure your anti-virus is up to date.
it says that is it up to date, but i went to the site and it downloaded something for me, and its installing it now, i hope it works and thank u even tho ur a colts fan
Not sure if you've tried removing and re-installing AIM, but that's a possible simple fix.
Don't know why google won't come up. Obviously you are getting here with no problem. Someone could have hacked your hosts file, but that's just one possibility.
My best suggestion is to try running some anti-spyware apps. Try ad-aware and spybot. They are good free ones.

StarKiller - do you work with computers as a full time job? Although I do suspect you are Floyd Reese...
ive got ad-aware, should i download spybot, and aim.com takes forever to come up and is there any way to fix the google thing if someone hacked it?
and thank you guys for responding
and thank you guys for responding
i tried downloading it several times and it said that the page can not be displayed
Well, I do work on computers in my spare time when not running the Titans...Gunny said:
oops... :ha:
Yes Gunny, fulltime.
I think Spybot should fix that if it's what I said it could be.GhostZ said:
The other thing you should do is start using Mozilla Firefox as your web browser instead of internet explorer (if you aren't already).

What kind of work with computers?, I am looking to go back to uni to doing something with computers (since I am a lot better with them then most other things)
I was a computer science major in college before I got sick of programming. I got my CS degree and went a different direction. But if you like that kind of thing, companies are usually looking for good programmers. Colleges also have lots of good computer engineering classes if that's your gig. But as far as hands on computer work, I'm not sure what people really need college for (unless you're just looking to take a few specific classes).
Right now I'm basically doing tech support, training, and consulting for regular home users and small businesses. I enjoy working for myself more than I did working 8-5 for a big company, though certainly the pay was better.

I don't either.
However I did a degree in Criminal Justice, finished last year, applied for over 200 jobs and nothing. So I don't know why I did it, it hasnt gotten me anything.
But I look at trainee positions to do with IT and there aren't many down here atleast at the moment.
I figure doing some sort of IT course may help me get a job, but then again I thought doing Criminal Justice would as well.
I might look into short courses.
Well, while I know nothing of the job availability down there nor the actual educations offered, I would say Computer Science is a good choice, if you're interested in computers.
Sure, there are likely to be some "hardcore" mandatory courses that isn't in everybodys taste (machine architecture, compilers and operating systems come to mind), but in the end you get an education that can be used for much more than just coding, if that isn't your fancy.
Graduates from the University of Copenhagen where I'm currently working on my masters get jobs ranging from hardware designers, software developers and sys. admins to executive positions.

Maybe I'll goto Uni in Denmark. lol.
Always wanted to go there and the currency exchange is awesome.

Heck why stop there, Australia is part of the Commonwealth, apply in NZ, SA, Canada and UK. Somewhere an Aussie with a Criminal Justice degree will be the flavor of the day - lol

Well, had it been a couple of years ago, you could have had the education for free here to boot. But now there are tuition fees for foreigners.
Vigsted said:
why for free?
and $10,000 Denmark is like $2,250 Aus
Gunny said:
Education is paid for by taxes, just like healthcare. But a drastic increase in especially Asian foreign students was becoming a financial burden, so we had to restrict free tuition to Danish nationals (and possibly European nationals as well).
