I just figured out that my computer has this kind of trojan. I was running pretty much all of the Anti-virus things my computer has. The main one says there is nothing there and my Windows defender says I have two trojans so I’m not sure what to do. I’m thinking of buying or building a new one.
Right now I have intel. Im not sure which is best like Dell, Miscrosoft, etc. I need a gaming computer which can also be used as a school work computer. Any ideas?
DO NOT GET ALIENWARE!!!
To pricey, building is definently better. If you want a desktop instead of a laptop then -
AMD or Intel processor – Dual core might be fine since its gaming and school, but go with quad core processor if you have the money.
Motherboard – Make sure it matches the brand of the processor you bought, and make sure it has PCI-Express 2.0 x16 in at least one slot.
Memory – DDR2 or DDR3, just make sure it fits. 4 gig+
Hard drive – Bigger the better, but it can get expensive. 1 Terabyte if you need a ton of stuff stored, but 500 gigs should do.
Video Card – Mainly better for the gaming, ATI or Nvidia (I find both are good so it doesnt really matter which brand you pick). Just make sure the card is PCI-Express 2.0 x16. Most are now though.
Power/Cooling – Not very good on these since my purchases normally come with power and a fan/heatsink.
Optical drive – Just your DVD Rom/CD Rom
OS – Vista most likely

first off, Intel makes CPU’s and Dell makes computers, and Microsoft makes OS (windows), so I don’t know why you are comparing apples to pears.
Dell is a good company, and whatever computer you get that is powerful enough to game will be good for school work, etc.
make sure that u get a discrete GPU for gaming (not integrated, that won’t work), and i guess just look at the recommended spec requirements for games that u want to play and make sure that ur new comp will meet those requirements, at least most of them.

Look at my answer to the question I answered "Which gaming computer should I get?"
I prefer my computer to everyone! The Alienware M17x or the Area 51.
No Core i7 listed, instead we’re looking at a Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU at the top end with up to 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory, and 1TB of 7200-rpm disk or a 512GB SSD if you prefer. RAID 1 or RAID 0? Sure. Rounding things out is a nine-cell battery of unstated performance, FireWire, 4x USB, eSATA, ExpressCard, 802.11n WiFi, 8-in-1 media card reader, dual-layer Blu-ray, a 1920 x 1200 pixel edge-to-edge LCD, DisplayPort and HDMI-outs all wrapped up in a massive chassis weighing 11.68-pounds with a 15.98 x 12.65 x 2.11-inch footprint. It’s also packing a GeForce 9400M G1 GPU with HybridPower technology that allows you to scale the graphics back to conserve battery power. Prices start at $1,799.

well. if u r a hardcore gamer Alienware technologies is probably the way to go… if not so hardcore and u want to do your school work then u probabaly want to go with a dell inspiron 530… its a desktop that normally comes preloaded with vista and an nvidia geforce video card… its slightly expensive if u do more work than play but usually comes out good… the reason i chose dell is because those are more high class computers than say a HP or Gateway…
