Trojans (you are correct) arent viruses, virusses are totally different things all together

 

There are Three main types of computer infection

 

Virus, Trojan, Variant

 

Trojan being the most hazardous!

The service pack is out for XP. It is like 350 MG so if you have dialup prepare for it to take a long time. It is supposed to take care of some of the security issues. Also some of the bugs. I dont have XP and havent read anything else about the service pack.

 

If you want a good tv show about computers watch ScreenSavers. It is on tech tv. Im not sure what times because I have seen it on at different times. They give a lot of helpful little tips that may add up in your own mental knowledge base.

This may seem like a pretty basic question but does anyone know where to download cool screen savers, I hate the ones I have now

[BlueDragon1981]

Well it really is a matter of searching for what you want. You can type in a search engine something like, "cool free screen savers." (i use google for my search engine). Or if you have a specific place you go like Blizzard (they created the warcraft and diablo franchise.) They may have a section for screen savers. So it all depends on what you want. Just go with your interests.
