My dell desktop computer freezes and websites and information pops up out of nowhere constantly. I tried recovery, but can't seems to get that to work. Could you explain to me what's the problem? ...

sounds like your computer is infected with a malware or virus/spyware. aside from trying to use anti virus or malware programs, best thing to do is to completely reformat the hard drive and reinstall your OS and all your programs. for important data, create an backup and fully scan the backup for virus and malwares before you attempt to restore it back to your computer after reinstalling everything. feel free to let us know how it goes and if the info is useful with your rating

After installing anti virus software my desktop is not showing

Run the system in safe mode or last known good condition. Remove the anti virus. You should uninstall few unwanted softwares or installed for temporary. Clear the temporary files. Stop few start up applications. Re-start the PC - it will run perfectly. Another step you can follow - running the system in safe mode you may re-store the PC (System Restore program in System Tools) of earlier date. So your system should run then.

My PC displays a message which reads 'Dooms day has come you are infected by Ravo 2005' and tried to remove but with no avail; What can i do ? please help me.\r\nMesfin F. I am using Dell Optiplex brand...

Review a new antivirus for 2010, though a current Norton subscription should be pretty good.  Of course, you have to disinfect the whole thing first, so you probably want to reinstall on a new HD (and you may as well get a current OS while you're at it, Fedora 12, Mint Linux, Windows 7 Creamy Topping, MacOS X or such.)  Then mount the old drive and run virus scans on it from the new OS (or simply move your data over with a good antivirus running, then format the old HD.)

Could possibly be virus/malware issue. Try running a full scan to see if anything is found.

My dell optiplex sx 270 restarts

Hello!

Here are other possible reasons why computer restart

-- Sometimes this can be caused by an overheating situation wherein some programs require a lot of processing power which can cause the processor or hard drive to get hot

--If you determine that overheating is not the problem, the most likely suspect is bad memory. Trying to access a bad spot in your system memory (RAM) can cause the computer to freak out and restart.

-- Make sure that the Automatically Restart in the System failure section is uncheck

--This can also be a virus or spyware problem. go through your Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs list and remove any programs you don't need, then run thorough anti-virus and anti-spyware scans.

-- Failing or under-rated power supplies can also cause your computer to restart at seemingly random intervals.
