    hmmm didn't heard that! thanks for telling me. I should really disable it. but is it still possible to have it on if you have anti-virus? I have Norton internet security and malwarebyte. and I scan my drive C: every Friday. so will you be safe with anti-virus?

    Re: some help with my pc.

    Ugh Norton. Get rid of that shit. Install something like Avast instead. (Anything that isn.t 9.0.x though, because Avast 9.0.x is still awful right now, so go with 7.0.x or 8.0.x).


    i also noticed when open TWC i see ADS saying my pc has error and its slow. it might be true that my pc is slow.
    This means you have trojans/malware on your computer. Is your MBAM (Malwarebytes Antimalware) up to date and fully functional? If not, update it, reboot your computer into Safe mode and do a full scan of your computer.

    It's also very possible that your desktop is just modified via registry entries blocking wallpaper edits/gadgets from running through said malware.


    If you cleaned up your computer, and sidebar still isn't working, then go to Task manager and kill sidebar.exe (IF it's showing up) and then use regedit.

    Locate the following key: [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings\Zones\].

    Delete it. Then restart sidebar.exe.
    Only attempt the above after making sure your computer is 100% clean of viruses/malware/trojans though. So that can be ruled out first.

    Re: some help with my pc.

    huh? is there something wrong with Norton? this is my 2nd antivirus I pick. the 1st one I had was McAfee, had it for 2 or more years. I decided to get a different one so I got Norton because it was on sale. so what's wrong with Norton?

    so that's why I keep seeing ads in TWC. I did went to safe mode and scan it using Norton and malwarebyte both updated. and didn't found nothing, just tracking cookies that's. anything else to do?

    I finally know how to open my gadgets when they don't turn on when I turn on/restart my pc. I just need to log off and log in and then my gadgets will turn on.

    Well you can never tell if someone is using your computer like a remote in one of the gadgets... So Anti-virus is pretty much unless... If they are using a exploited in a gadget your Anti-virus will never pick it up.

    A firewall Program will however tho... ZoneAlarm Extreme Security. with spy/antivirus is what I been using for about 10years.. keeps the hackers out..

    Norton is extremely bloated, and it interferes with many programs. On top of that it does things without your permission. And as for the bloated thing I mentioned - It will slow down your computer considerably, even if you have a powerful one.
    It used to be a great antivirus, back in 2003, when it was just that - an AV. (Norton Antivirus 2003 Professional), which I used myself. Then they released the dreaded 2004 version which started the downhill process of Norton products.

    Avast is free, and offers better protection than Norton does, and it's less demanding of your computer.


    As for the ads you keep getting about cleaning your comp - Check the installed programs on your computer, see if there's stuff like "Clean PC" or "System Optimizer" stuff like that installed. I find it odd that MBAM isn't finding anything, because it usually does pick stuff like that up real quick, unless it's somehow disabled.
