Cyberwalker Radio Episode 031

Originally Aired Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

This week on Cyberwalker Radio:Spyware, more spyware, and home networking.

Every Tuesday I appear on AM 640 Toronto (640 AM) on The Stafford Show. Mike Stafford is a good friend and long time host on the station and I started doing 30 minute live tech help calls (no prep, seat of the pants) with him in early 2005, then I was forced to take a break because of my schedule, but now I am back.

If you listen live on the Internet, the show airs Tuesdays at 6:30 PM Eastern Time.

• Mike is having a problem with his laptop booting slowly. It may be spyware. Andy recommends the following:
  1. Windows Defender
  2. Spybot Search and Destroy
  3. Pest Patrol
  4. F-Secure

• Mike is also having some spyware issues.
• Linda had a question about the length of audio files.
• Jay wanted to reformat his hard drive but was having trouble with the disc.
• Raj wants to donate his computer, but wanted to know how to remove his personal information from it first.
• Scott wants to build a network for his laptop and desktop.
