If may ask.. What is the purpose if the backslash? Couldn't you do the same thing and just leave out the backslash?

[DH Data Recovery]

What backslash are you referring to, and how would it be the same thing

In that specific yes, he could've left it out, as you were already in the root folder.

Could a virus be the cause of fake wireless networks showing up?

[DH Data Recovery]

Only showing up on that particular PC

[DH Data Recovery]

that computer may have wireless n card of stronger signal

possible, but the network showed it with a bunch of other problems including the fact that no devices could connect with the real network until the router was reset. So i am speculating that the network itself may be rogue

What's up with the new avast update, it keeps telling me that I'm not protected unless I pay. Is the free version gone?

[DH Data Recovery]

How long do you have it?

How long do you have it?

long time... should I re install?

[DH Data Recovery]

You can if you want to, just select free basic protection when you register

[DanH]

I'm assuming you mean avast 8.  just change subscription..  (maintenance - registration)
you need to renew subscription every year iirc (free)

I'm using mcafee on a new dell Xps system
Recently after seeing to many popups I checked my firewall settings
Here's the problem if I try to turn on thru windows it gives an error need to update firewall settings but when I click to update it gives error can't update
When itry to turn on firewall thru mcafee it goes right back to firewall is off
Any help would be appreciated
Ps. I did a complete scan thru Mcafee and found 1 virus and says was removed but still can't turn on firewall

[DH Data Recovery]

Usually most antiviruses that come with an active firewall automatically disable windows firewall to avoid conflict

Even through MCAFFE it's also off and dosnt turn on
So Keeps on coming up computer at risk no firewall detected
Any idea?

[DH Data Recovery]

Run malwarebytes to scan for any rogue trojans that may be turning it off just in case

Yeah, uninstalled/reregistered Avast 8, dont like it as much, they dont seem to allow disabling of mailshield. I had a issue with Outlook in the past...
