Computer geek forum?

Anyone know one where I can ask about the questions that I have about computers?

might want to be more specific, as 'computers' is a pretty damned broad topic.
even different categories (programing, hardware, software, it, gaming, etc) have their subsets.

Well I don't know why...after like few hours I suddenly lost internet...my laptop tells me that I am connected to my home wireless connection but I can't surf on the net.

The only solution is to restart my laptop otherwise I cannot have acces to internet...strange facts is my sister's laptop dunnot have the smae problem and sometimes when I lost the connection I can still play World of Warcraft or trades to Forex (currencies market).

I thought maybe it's a problem with Vista...

PS: sorry poor English quality.

Don't really need anything, to be honest.

i've heard that, but im a little nervous about it still. i'd like to atleast get something to scan for spyware and shit every once in a while. i spent a lot of jing on this machine and intend to have it for a long time. im sure you can understand my concern. :)

i dont even use anything but firefox on my PC, lol.
just gotta be safe and know how to upkeep your ish.

Can the source of my issue is the antivirus/fire-wall Zone Alarm?
