It should be in the BIOS under Advanced Settings/CPU Configuration/SVM. This needs to be enabled. (See p. 3-16 of your manual.) However this still probably won't work as OS X isn't supported on AMD processors. (That doesn't mean that it can't be done, but it's not trivial.) Running OS X on an...

Shadow Copies are another possibility: http://www.fots.nl/index.php/how-to-reclaim-storage-from-system-volume-information/ As these files are in System Volume Information they are far more likely to be system managed files than the result of malware (particularly on a system with regular scans...

Those sound like System Restore Points. I would strong recommend that you don't use the del command to get rid of them. Have a look at this article which shows you how to delete them and how to manage the amount of space they are allowed to use...

I guess that if you are building your own PC from components then you are assumed to know how these things work - Intel HD Graphics is (nowadays) a component part of the CPU chip. The specifications will say that a motherboard supports 32GB RAM, but they won't specifically say that you have to...

It just wouldn't work. The ISP's router wouldn't pass on the packets and, even if it did, any return packets would go to the legitimate owner of that IP address, not you. And you shouldn't even try it. Why would you want to? There are plenty of private IP addresses available so just stick with...

On Linux machines you will need to run a VNC server; on Windows machines just enable Remote Desktop (or you could install a VNC server). You will then be able to connect remotely using the Remmina client.

Register a complaint with eBay. These rip-off merchants need to be stopped. You should reasonably expect to get your money refunded.

The boot files contained in the System Partition are a very, very small part of the boot process (basically just a first stage loader). This should make very little, if any, difference to the boot times of your computer. The only potential problem would arise if you were later to remove that...

As said, without a key you are wasting your time downloading the ISO. And it may well be that the key for your 32-bit Windows will not work with a 64-bit install. There are programs that will retrieve the key from an installed Widows system (Magical Jelly Bean is one). In the end the only option...

You need to put the computer that you want accessed in a DMZ. I'm not familiar with that particular router, but this review - http://www.thinkbroadband.com/hardware/reviews/76-asus-rt-n66u.html - indicates that it has this capability. The manual should explain how you set it up.

Yes, you can use a SATA 3 SSD on SATA 2 ports. Theoretically it will be a bit slower (than it would be on a SATA 3 port), but I'm not sure that you would notice the difference. In normal applications the big difference that an SSD makes is not so much the transfer time as the access time, which...

Two possibilities I can think of: 1. If it is an ancient mouse with a ball then it may well need cleaning. 2. If it is an optical mouse then strong daylight can interfere with the sensor in some of them. Solution - don't use in direct sunlight. If neither of these apply then I'm guessing that...

Be aware that you will lose all your data by following this process. If you have anthing that you want to keep then back it up to an external location first.

Any torrent program that downloads infected files will pass them on. Typically this means pirated software, movies, etc. Legal torrents (e.g. Linux distributions) are no more prone to viruses than any other download method.

Understand that Windows doesn't necessarily boot from the drive it is installed on. I would guess that your boot files are on C but your Windows directory is on E. This would explain why Windows doesn't let you format C. If this is so then using an external program to format C will leave you...
