Q. Is their anyway to hook up my lap top to it to run a sweep? I have tried the OS disk and all that on my desk top and like I said cannot even get it to start in safe mode. I have windows XP on a dell C521. Any suggestions are welcomed!!!!! Thank you!
A. Two other ways to remove malware, but you need another computer to get the files and burn them to a CD, because any malware or crimeware that might be on your computer could corrupt the download.

You can create a "Rescue CD" with AVG anti-virus software:

Boot Up Securely with the Rescue CD
==========
Using another computer, you download the ISO image. The file is not very large (60 to 120 megabytes) and downloads fast on broadband like DSL and cable. Then you burn the ISO image to a CD; most computers have software with their DVD/CD drives that can do this specialized burn.
If you download both of these, each ISO image must be burned to a separate CD.
Then you boot your computer with this disk. Since Windows does not run, any virus or spyware or trojans or crimeware or keyloggers or other malicious software called malware cannot run and take control of your computer.
This is a Linux-type set of programs, and it does not give you a pretty interface - it's all text and you will have to use the keyboard to select what operations to do.
==========
Be aware that if these programs find and remove or quarantine malicious files, you might not be able to boot your computer into Windows; some malware corrupts essential Windows files to be able to gain control of the computer.
==========
The advantage to this type of anti-virus scanning is that since Windows does not start, any malware on your computer cannot take control. Many computers get more than one malware program installed on them; an anti-virus program like one of these two allows you to remove some of those malware programs and makes it easier for other anti-malware programs to remove the others.
It's a never-ending battle.

What programs should I learn to be able to create a fully functional website?
Q. Softwares I need, as well?
Any suggestion would be great. Thanks!
Any suggestion would be great. Thanks!
A. The only "language" you need to create a fully functional website is HTML. But knowing Java, or at least JavaScript would be useful, as well as PHP. For software a good HTML editor is a nice to have. You'll need an FTP program to upload your code to your server.
As far as web development tools and platforms are concerned, there are many systems available to the public free of charge to aid in development. A popular example is the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), which is usually distributed free of charge. This fact alone has manifested into many people around the globe setting up new Web sites daily and thus contributing to increase in web development popularity. Another contributing factor has been the rise of easy to use WYSIWYG web development software, most prominently Microsoft FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver. Using such software, virtually anyone can develop a Web page in a matter of minutes. Knowledge of HyperText Markup Language (HTML), or other programming languages is not required, but recommended for professional results.
The next generation of web development tools uses the strong growth in LAMP and Microsoft .NET technologies to provide the Web as a way to run applications online. Web developers now help to deliver applications as Web services which were traditionally only available as applications on a desk based computer.

why do people who try free operating systems like linux ubuntu switch back to windows?
Q. I recently tried Ubuntu and it seems to work great as a windows replacement. I would like to hear from people who don't like it and why.
A. "Linux is only free if your time isn't valuable." - JWZ
I think this quote explains it all. There will always be something blocking you in Linux if you've used Windows for most of your life. If your friends, work, whatever use Windows you will most likely switch back to Windows because that's what makes you productive the most.
I personally love UNIX, but I can only use Mac or Windows for a desktop. But I use SSH to read my email, chat, program, etc. However my time is valuable and people send me Excel sheets and all sorts of crap. I have no place in telling them to switch to make my life easier. I just have to get stuff done. Windows (or Mac) makes this much easier than Ubuntu. I don't have to download specific software, configure programs, etc. to get stuff done. Infact to be truthful, I don't want to deal with word processors, spreadsheets, outlook, etc. at all. However the nature of my work (and possibly anyone who has a desk job) requires this.
