Help resolving host

[rado84]

Hi guys,

Out of the blue my computer's decided to say "resolving host"

I can't help you with your problem, altough I suppose the others have already done so. But I can tell you this: there's no good antivirus. The BEST antivirus is to create another user for yourself and setup a parental control on it, allowing to be used all the legitimate executables like nvidia/amd control panels, media players, browsers and so on. I've setup parental control on my sister's computer about a year ago and since then I didn't have to reinstall Windows - not even once. The best part is that no malware addons or toolbars can be installed because parental control won't let those executables to be started. A year later her OS runs like freshly installed because of that parental control. And she's what we call a "tech baboon" (meaning she knows computers as good as I speak Martian). I've tried all sorts of AV softwares, firewalls and stuff but the only thing that protects her computer (and my nerves as well) from malware and viruses is parental control. It takes time to add all the legitimate programs but once you do it you'll forget about AV software. Without parental control I used to reinstall her Windows three times a week.
