I don't know which version mine is but yes, something is slooower. I'll probably reformat the HD and see what happens next. |

Plus now I get that anti-virus rouge thing popping up. I need to weed thru and manually grab it off. |

AVG won't even work anymore. Now I'm getting those stupid 'antivirus' rouge things. They're getting harder to find on the HD. What's a good free anti virus? |

Avira Avast You might run over to Bitdefender.com and do a free online scan. If your too messed up use this tool.. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofi ... e-combofix It will revert a few things back to default so it's kinda a last resort tool. But its saved a few computers brought to me with "problems"... |

As it turns out, comcast is being stupid. I'm tethered to my dumbphone. I have Avast now, going to un-install avg. Avast squashed that 'antivirus' shit. still need to hand pick it off. Bleeping computer has been a good site for me. This is what happens when teenagers borrow the pc. |

I've had awesome results with Avira. I wasn't too sure about it at first, so I asked an IT guy at work who told me that's all he uses. Since this guy probably knows half as much as Rich does about computers, I went with Avira. |

I actually use System Mechanic anti virus... Also if you get the pro version comes with tools to keep your computer running at peak performance... I run a computer repair business on the side, and recommend it to all of my customers... http://www.iolo.com |
