Question: How do you delete the history and pages you visited in google.ph? I can only delete those in Microsoft IE. Thanks & more power. - Peter

Dr. J:  In Internet Explorer 5 or higher, select Tools / Internet Options / Content tab. Goto AutoComplete and click on Clear Forms.  You can also use the arrow keys on your computer keyboard to highlight and delete then push the Delete button on your computer keyword. The entry should disappear.

Dr. J:  You haven't said anything about doing spyware/adware/virus checks.  You can also try going to System Tools and running Disk Cleanup.  Overheating can also be one cause.  Check your peripherals too.

Dr. J:  Most probably your PC is infected by spyware/adware/virus.  Have it check.

Question:  "Your computer was shut down to prevent further damage to your computer, if this is the first time you see this message restart your computer." What does the message mean, and how would I be able to deal with it? - elsie de guzman.

Dr. J:  I can only guess that you are using WinXP.  The message indicates your PC is infected with a virus.

Question:  I always run Spybot S & D in my WinXP & it always appears: there is a threats name: Command Service w/c was shut down, registry key : cmd service. how can i fix it? does command service important to the window or computer? - Cely.

Dr. J:  Command Service is an adware application that opens pop-ups and displays various types of advertising on the user's desktop while browsing web pages.  You may run SpyBot S&D but have you clean all the spywares?  And have you detected all of them?
