First, save the photo to your computer and make a note of what folder you've saved it in (ex. My Documents\My Photos).  You may also need to re-size the photo - it must have a file size of under 2MB (that's 2000KB). 

As you're filling out the form to create a classified ad, you'll see a box labeled Photo, with a Browse button next to the box.  Click the browse button and, in the window that appears, navigate to the folder where your photo is stored.  Double-click that photo.  The window should close and now the Photo field will be filled in on the classified ads form.

Finally, click the Save button at the bottom of the form to post your ad and photo.  If you're attaching a photo to your ad, don't use the Preview button - it may not work properly with your photo.

There are many anti-spyware products out there, and unfortunately most of them are "rogue" anti-spyware.  These programs either a) always tell you you're infected (even if you're not) so you'll buy the product, while failing to protect you against many real threats, b) use deceptive means to install themselves on your computer without your consent, and/or c) actually download more spyware onto your computer.

Before installing any anti-spyware, check the lists at Spyware Warrior and Malwarebytes to make sure it's not listed as a Rogue.

Although there have been a few viruses that spread via unusual means (security breaches in Windows or Internet Explorer) most infections can still be prevented by following safe computing practices.  Here are the top things you can do to prevent infection:

1) Run anti-virus software on your computer and keep it up-to-date.  (A 4-year-old anti-virus program whose subscription ran out three years ago is not protecting you against anything you're likely to run across today.)  Boreal usually recommends

To delete a block of messages, in the list of messages click on the first message you want to delete.  Then hold down the <Shift> key on your keyboard and click on the last message you want to delete.  All the messages between the first and last one you clicked will be highlighted, and clicking the Delete or Trash button in your Toolbar will delete them all. 

To delete selected messages, click the first message, then hold down the <Ctrl> key on your keyboard as you click on each of the other messages.  Each message you click will be highlighted and clicking the Delete or Trash button in your Toolbar will delete them all.

Have you noticed that the shutdown button () on your Vista start menu doesn't really shut the computer down?  To shut down or restart your computer you have to click Start, hit the little arrow next to the padlock at the bottom right, and select Shut down or restart.

You can change this so the shutdown button on the start menu actually turns the computer off.  To do this:

1. Click Start, Control Panel.  Click Classic View at the upper left.
2. Double-click the Power Options icon.  Click Change Plan Settings under the option that has the dot in front of it.
3. On the next screen, click Change advanced power settings.
4. On the screen that comes up, click the + sign in front of Power buttons and lid, then click the + in front of Start menu power button.

Well, this is a question we can't answer as people have different needs, and what's out there is continually changing.  However, some people spend all their time testing and reviewing computers - we recommend you check out some of their sites for computer buying advice:
