I was reading the end of page 4 for some weird reason, hopefully my advice above (which is related to the laptop g_j needed help with) is still useful.

dont think there is a way to do it without voiding the warranty. Im sure they're not interested in your porn anyway

Too late. I ordered a notebook last Thursday. It's Toshiba Satellite L30-10T that for a reason I don't know doesn't appear outside the Netherlands in its official website. It costs me €584, excluding administration cost, etc.

This is the link in Dutch.

Oh yes, david. After receiving my college books, it seems that I have to use many CD from those books, including some algebra programmes (for goodness sake ). That's why I'm afraid I'll have no sufficient space in 4 years. No worry anyway. I'll receive college loan. And spending some money for hard working can be considered good.

There's a way you can do it with Linux and a few other bits and bobs but it's really complicated to do, I tried it once and only managed to recover what was on it, I couldn't format, I know when my Seagate blew I just emailed them the problem and they let me ram a screw through the middle off it.

So, I've downloaded Avira AntiVir for my anti-virus and AVG Anti-Spyware for my anti-spyware. Are they good enough? Is AVG Anti-Spyware also anti-malware and anti-adware? Do I have to download some anti-Trojan?

Use the free edition of superantispyware an amazing program even the standalone scanner, can't fault it.

What is this used for? Spyware, malware, adware, etc.?

Also, which website is appropriate for uploading files, even big files?

[retired_Sheree]

Use filefront for large files you can make a free account to, superantispyware is just for spyware key loggers and Trojans, but it's one of the best programs I’ve seen about in a long time.

Thanks much. I'll use FileFront and consider SUPERAntiSpyware for my new notebook. :thup:
