I am so annoyed with the flash ads that are scattered everywhere. I am using Firefox 4 hoping it would block them, but it doesn't seem to. Is there an option I should be clicking?

Hi Guys,

I want to share a folder I have in my PC, with my sister over the network. How do I do this? I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium, she is on windows 7 too. Thanks in advance!

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on my pc and want to setup a WordPress site on local host.

I have MySQL, PHP, Apache server installed.

Could anyone provide step by step guide?

There's no sound coming out from my laptop. Tried checking the volume and even used external speakers but it doesn't work. I have Windows Vista installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I cannot browse the internet.  I use Internet Explorer as my browser. I have Windows XP.  I get the error, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" every time I open my browser, even if I go to a website such as Google.com.

I know I am connected because the computer icon at the lower left corner of my screen says I'm connected. What am I missing?

How can I recover data files erased with shift-del? Thanks!

I want to ask the Techyv users that why there is so much Spyware, Malware, Adware and Trojan viruses effecting the computer even though we just click an image or a particular add on any website.

These problems were not there some 5-6 years ago but now it has increased to a huge limit. When we click on any image on the Google image search or inside any blog or go to any website, our computers get affected by viruses.

Can you please tell me the reason and also the perfect cure for this problem?
