| I own an Acer T320, and it will not go into Standby mode without waking up. I

| whenever i connect to the interent a pop-up frum microsoft windows comes up
| and says i need to download antivirus2005 pro to prevent hackers and about 7
| windows from them pop up onto my computer. I cannot find the serial number to
| take it in n get fixed.
A popup which "says i need to download antivirus2005 pro to" is most likely adware/spyware
and based upon the additional popups i'd say that you are infected.
Please download, install and update the following software...
Ad-aware SE v1.06
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4
http://security.kolla.de/
After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.
I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects
that may be on the PC.
