It wont stop. Everytime I close it it just pops up 2 seconds later. Sometimes it will go awhile longer.
Answer
ââ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ââ
â You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first got on the Web. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. Get the one that is 9 books in one. it has the most info. Don't read this book from cover-to-cover. Instead use it as a reference book. Keep it open while experimenting with your computer. Click on every thing you see with both your right and left mouse button. Also experiment with the center mouse wheel. There are many things it can do.
â This book will teach you how to do many many things with your computer. Some of them are copy, paste, delete, highlighting text, making a file, saving a file and the list goes on and on. Getting on the web before you learn the basics of your computer is like trying to be a race car driver before you learn how to drive.
â Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. :)

to all the computer geeks out there were can I get started?
Master Chi
I'm insane about computers and what you can do with them, But there just one little flaw that can't be overlooked. I don't know a think about the cybers.
Can anyone point me out a good place to learn a lot, for (hopefully) free?
Any and all answers will be appreciated.
I'm interested in stuff like programming, shielding from all the bad stuff (viruses...ect.), able to hack (not for bad reasons) and just trying to become the best I can be with a PC
Answer
Well, I've been working on Computers, Networking, Programming, Web Development, Wifi / RF Engineering, etc etc etc for the last 16 years (since I was 8 years old).
You won't learn overnight though, it took me a long time to learn everything that I do now, not to mention my 4th year of college!
I'm not really sure what part about computers you'd like to learn (Hardware, Sofware(programming), Networking, Wifi, ???) so it's kind of hard to point you in the right direction...
Start of slow with simple computer upgrades like a processor upgrade or RAM upgrage, or build a basic website - do a search for html (programming or tuturials), the thing I would recommend the most and is a VERY broad knowledge of the basics is an A+ certification!!
Even if you don't want to pay for a course to take the A+ exam, go to the book store and buy a book studying A+!!! Most of them come with an interactive CD as well. The next thing you'd want to do is maybe study Network+ it's a great book and discusses all the different ways to wire a network, what cable to use, what speeds, what a hub/switch/router/AUI/etc is...
Hope this helps!
Anymore questions or if you'd like to specify what about computers you'd like to learn I'll check back!
Update:
Here's a few links to some great resources with product reviews that will teach you about the newest technology and how it works in depth ;)
Anandtech:
http://www.anandtech.com/
HardOCP:
http://www.hardocp.com/
The Inquirer (real facts):
http://www.theinquirer.net/
...Anandtech is probably the most respected, they go very in-depth about products and what makes them tick! Even with all of my computer certifications and experience I sometimes have a hard time understanding certain concepts they know sooo much! They really get into the Electronic Engineering aspect sometimes :)
2nd Update:
It sounds to me like you want to learn the security industry, which is the highest paid position and in the most demand!!
You'll want to start off with the basics - Like I origonally said get started with the A+ cert, even if you're just reading and not getting the cert yet! Then move on to Network+ which will give a very broad knowledge of networking, security, and the internet. These courses are offered by a company called CompTIA.
Once you've completed that you'll have a full understanding of what makes a computer tick and I'd move on to CCNA which will teach you about Cisco networks, CWNA - WiFi and RF engineering, CWSP - Certified Wireless Security Professional, and the best of the best would be a CISSP for security. You could also study the Microsoft courses like MCSA/MCSE which will teach you server administration.
It really depends on how serious you want to get - these are all great certifications or books to study and learn from. If you just want a basic knowledge, you can find a lot of good info on the web and the sites I listed below... Anandtech is really a GREAT site!!
BTW - I have all of those course files if you'd like them... They cost you about $3400 if you were to buy them from the school!!!
