Everyone gets registry errors; you just can't help it. You wouldn't be here if you didn't get an error like the f5045_stanres.dll error.

If you have a Windows computer, the odds are pretty good that you've experienced registry errors. The nature of the Windows registry makes it likely that errors will happen, no matter how careful you are with your computer.

Anybody who regularly uses a computer understands a thing or two about the various types of threats that cyberspace presents. Viruses and spyware are abundant and individuals can scarcely use the computer without running into the threat of having their system infiltrated with one of these malicious programs. Among the more prevalent types of bad software out there is one by the name of Advanced Virus Remover.

Win32 is the core interface Windows uses to communicate with the programs that run on it.  It is important because without it, the programs can't communicate with Windows.  And therefore they can't run on it! 

To some of the people that are reading this, it may sound familiar.  To others, perhaps not so much.  Either way, what follows is a description of what happens when you get infected with the XP Antivirus 2009 or the other programs of its ilk.

Don’t be fooled--Real Antivirus is a scam. How it starts is you get flooded with intrusive, deceptive pop-ups telling you that your computer is infected and the only hope is to click the pop-up. You are scared that your computer may be harmed, so you click the pop-ups and go to the Real Antivirus (also called RealAV) website where a fake scan runs and tells you that you are infected. Yes, I said fake scan. The files it lists as infecting your computer are not on your computer.

Using the computer these days can be a risky endeavor. Of course the benefits and rewards that computers offer outweigh the potential risks, but you should still become educated about the pitfalls. In short, technology has made our lives easier in a lot of ways, but by this same token technology has provided the means for people with ill motives to take advantage of unsuspecting victims.

I have to admit that AntiVirus 2010 is one of the better pieces of rogue (fake) anti-spyware out there. If you have fallen into the clutches of this program, I can see how you were easily tricked. These guys worked hard on creating a program that even some of the most experienced computer users might overlook as the real thing. If you think you may have come across AntiVirus 2010, then keep reading.

I am an avid computer user and I have had my share of successes and failures with the technological world. While I have reaped many benefits from my extensive computer use, I have also run into quite a large number of problems while using my computer. In my opinion, one of the biggest dangers with using computers is the so-called antispyware industry.

Some of the major symptoms of the Vundo virus are the pop-ups. Vundo will cause your web browser to pop up advertisements for software that is either antivirus, anti-spyware, or for software that will fix the “deterioration” of your computer. These programs are bad news. Whether the programs are anti-spyware or anti-virus, they essentially do the same thing. These rogue programs will have you pay for a “full version” of the software, then automatically run and falsely tell you it found and remov

For the record, there is a legitimate security suite out there called 360. However, it’s an all-encompassing security program, and not just an antivirus program, as Antivirus 360 claims to be. The real 360 also isn’t waiting on the Internet to pounce on you as you’re browsing, as this program is. It’s from a legitimate company, and as so, it waits for you to download it.

Antivirus 2009 is rogue anti-spyware. What is rogue anti-spyware, you ask? Good question!

Of all of the Internet scams that are out there, I think that EvidenceEraser is one of the most brilliant. Whoever thought it up is a genius. That is exactly why it is so terrible. No matter how brilliant an evil genius is, their plans still always lead to ruin and destruction. EvidenceEraser is no different.

Some of the major antivirus programs fluff up their scan results so that you'll think they're doing more than they really are.  What do I mean by this, and why am I such a big fan of Spyzooka?  Most antivirus programs will list every single tracking cookie on your browser as a potential threat.  This isn't entirely dishonest, but it can be a little misleading.
