So my computer jus got a virus
my computer just got a virus.. and i dont know how to get rid of it
Why do you think there is a virus? What are the symptoms?
There's a lot of adware going around. Could that be it?

I bought adobe suite 4 student edition a few years ago and I am no longer a student and my laptop in which I have adobe suite has recently got a virus and I must uninstall the adobe suite in or to wipe the computer. If I uninstall the student edition and reinstall once the virus is removed from the computer will I have to go through the student product verification process or can I simply use the product key to reinstall the adobe suite?

You can use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you can transfer them from the iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Or you can redownload them:

My current laptop is about three years old and got a virus. Had to wipe it clean. Now my Ipod Touch-2nd generation is not recognizing it as the primary original computer and says it is registered on another computer. What can I do to safeguard my library of songs on the Ipodtouch. Any suggestions?
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

I got a virus on my computer and it deleted all of my personal files is there a way to push my music back to itunes? i tried to sync but it only moved a small amount of my music.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back. -

My computer got a virus and videos were deleted
My computer got a virus awhile ago and all of my C drive was deleted which was where iTunes was stored. All of my music and all of my videos were deleted and I have no way of getting them back because system restore won't restore my computer at all or atleast up to the point where I got the virus.. So I was wondering if I could possibly get the videos back onto my computer somehow. I'd be really grateful if you could help me out.
The same thing happened to me yesterday. I was updating my iPod and when it was finished, there were exclamation points next to all my songs. Then I noticed that fifteen songs are now missing from my iPod. I have no idea what happened and what to do to fix it. I back up my files and now many of my songs are not in the folders! What can I do?!?!?!

My computer got a virus today. I will likely need to do a factory reset. If I do this and have to reload itunes, will I lose everything and have to load everything back? How will this affect my ipod touch, which is backed up nightly to cloud?
