Need Help - Compaq Presario 700 laptop crashed

[The Jays]

Last night, I had a cataclysmic crash on my laptop, and had to re-install windows. Lost everything I had.

Anyway, I'm trying to download everything I could possibly need. I have AIM, Winamp, DVD, Divx, etc installed, and I;m downloading all the critical updates now. Do you guy have any links to anything else that I need, IE, codecs, spyware destroyers, or anything else?

[Goatweed]

for spyware - Spybot

what else are you looking for?

a bunch of codecs with a batch file to install them

READ: a virus

[Kid Afrika]

Nope, not a virus. Wanna try again?

[QuickStop]

not really

[HollywoodJewMoses]

download the nimo codec pack.

[Kid Afrika]

The pack I sent him has the codecs from the nimo codec pack in a nifty li'l package with some other extras thrown in...

Nah, just kidding. Only the most commonly used codecs.

[HollywoodJewMoses]

[Kid Afrika]

is spybot better than adaware?

[Goatweed]

I prefer it because it runs faster - your best bet would be to run both, as one might pick up what the other might miss.

They're also both free.

[Keyser Soze]

i hate that i have to check every box next to what adaware finds, spybot didnt make me do that.

[Goatweed]

stop visiting all those porn sites and Adaware won't find so many nasty things on your computer.
