The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I have some sort of virus where this site pops up called top-banners.com. I went to the startup configuration and there was something blank with only a checkmark and location. Should this be disabled??

    Sure, go ahead and uncheck it, you won't harm your system.

    Go ahead and download these from http://www.download.com

    1. Spybot - Search and Destroy
    2. Spyware Doctor 3.8
    3. Ad-Aware

    That should clean your system. Good luck.
