Just a few suggestions. I am sure that I will get flamed for this.

1. Try typing your error code or windows message into google and you would
be amazed at how many hits you will get.
2. Is it too much to expect people to use Anti-virus programs and Firewalls.
If you purchase from Norton or McAfee they are not expensive and will save
you a lot of grief in the future.
3. Please phrase your question in a complete and grammatical sentence
format. Don't assume that we can read minds or can figure out what you are
talking about.
4. Give as much detail as possible about the problem.
5. If the questions are about specifice products such as Word or Visio or
Excel, you might have a better response going to one of the user forums for
those products.
6. TYPING IN CAPITAL LETTERS WILL NOT GET YOU A FASTER RESPONSE. It is
considered rude and shouting.

Tell that to the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people who keep re-posting "OE
denies access to the following unsafe attachment....."

the MAJOR problem is that people walk into PC World, Dixons, (in the UK)
Walmart etc, buy a PC and NO-ONE tells them anything about internet
security. I would make it compulsory to have the workings of the
internet, viruses, firewalls and AV programs explained to EVERY new
computer buyer.

That depends, is it too much to ask of hundreds of
thousands of people y9ou don't even know?

Yes, don't expect we know what you are on about because
there are no experts here.

He's supposed to rewire the MS web servers? Don't think they'll let him.
