Pick one computer to work on.
Give detailed info on what it is and what it is doing.
Need to look at each computer, one at a time.

But first.

Have you replaced the CMOS battery in any of these computers?

CMOS battery
A battery that maintains the time, date, hard disk and other configuration settings in the CMOS memory. CMOS batteries are small and are attached directly to the motherboard.

Hallo bigpup 1.6.20
Thanks for answer 5. April 20
Cmos batteries in the computers are ok. They are not the problem.
When I began to setup a Puppy on a formated harddisk
on a computer I did not succeed: package manager did not work.
After using the free virus program SOPHOS suddenly I could use the puppy package manager. The proof: my Puppy problems are virus problems. Not all problems disappeared with Sophos, which seams to be not simple to handle.
Until then I was as Puppy user not used to handle a virus. On an other Computer some days later I suddenly could no longer switch off with mouse. All poweroffs were blocked. Only Ctrl Alt Backspace worked.

So I have no praxis with Virus. First time it came in in February. Mostly I can still work with one of the computers, which I have setup new, but no machine seams to be free of virus. It looks like a hacker enters my Computers from time to time. And this hacker seems to be very intelligent. He does not ask for money. he wants to disturb my using the computers. He may have other aims, but which? Who can be interested
to disturb my windowsfree computers?

Where under the Puppy friends is the knowledge how to get in a puppy when connected to the Internet? cookie? how can I control that?
I am no friend of encryption and passwords. When is it necessary in spite oft this ?

best wishes

Your problems are not about Tahrpup64 6.0.5 and something wrong with it.
