Ok, so i think this is where it should go, I have a family computer. It was as slow as possibly can be, I finally convinced my parents to dump it, that made so much faster. I use the computer, to write, edit art work, and school stuff. Of course I have some pirates in my house hold, so they try and use lime wire. I get rid of it every time, and last time we got a virus, and then ontop of that someone else in my house, thinks they know everything, and goes to those dumb gaming sites, and gives us viruses. I don't know how many virus I have gotten rid of, I can't use it for anything, it crashes all the time, what am I suppose to do, now that every school might as well require you having a working computer, and if I ever wanted yo make decent art, I couldn't.

Do you have a good virusscanner? That should keep the viruses at bay. ;)
You also have a few programs like deep freeze, that softwarematicly (is that a word?) "freeze" a partition on your harddisk.
If you freeze the Windows C partition for example, all changes to C are undone when you reboot the pc.
Even changes by virusses will be undone.(Although a good antivirus might be more convenient for a family pc)

We have a ok antivirus thing, its just when they download crap. They tend to spam the yes button when downloading, so they ignore it if it pops up :/. And umm... I'm not a computer prodigy or what ever, so I'm not to sure what that antifrezz thing was :?

Umm, thanks tweak, but I'm a little confused, next to sand box you put "a free alternative", but it say after 30 days pops occur that ask you to buy the product?

If you're getting viruses that are clogging up your antivirus or can't get rid of them you can always just hunt down their process in task manager (ctrl+alt+delete > Processes tab) then highlight and click 'end process'. That should kill it temporarily. Then you can go to start, type in 'msconfig' (or Start > run for Windows XP), open the Startup tab and uncheck the process of the virus. So that stops it from running every time you turn on the computer. :3 Probably kindof irrelevant but could help, I've done it with a rogue antivirus which are a pain of a virus.

.. Also to find there process, first try identifying the virus you have (eg. Rogue antivirus's name, AV Security Suite), google it and there should be removale instructions with it's processes listed somewhere.
If not, just look for suspicious processes in your task manager and Google them to see what they may be ;D

I could also recommend WoT, its a addon for all big browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc..) which shows user based safety ratings for every site you visit and in search results. It also gives u a warning if the site it rated as unsafe, i've used it for a few years and i think its better than other big similar software, and i've trued several (AVG Linkscanner, McAfee Site Advisor etc..)
