Now I have, installed and run for infections, Malwarebytes and AVG....no issues found...but it's still slower than molasses in Jan.:D

Next I'm going to go install Adobe flash Player ( tho I thought I already had it) and Java...
If you had norton on there, and did the simple un-install, you didn't completely remove norton. That is the reason it is still slow. Norton is still trying to control everything on your computer.

do you only have one browser? before installing all that other stuff, you might try downloading Firefox or Chrome, and see if that helps.

even if it doesn't help, that will be useful info for Her Royal Feistiness

I had Firefox on the other pc but this damn thing won't let me download it!

Oh woe is me...woe is me....


My poor brain hurts!!!!

Welcome Spoons!
+1 at liking your avie!


So, y'all are saying I should uninstall and read up on how to completely uninstall Norton? I need to start getting as much speed as I can for the upcoming Woodvil sale. Bloatware doesn't sound good. :unsure:

short version- yes...

i use MSSE on all my Win7 stuff (as well as my newest Win8 box, which i detest). i have a few XP machines floating around that use Avast.


i might actually have more computers than Reos, tho the day of reckoning is coming...

Since you guys have been offering computer advice, I'll ask a question. Seems one of my Facebook friends clicked on the wrong bunch of stupid and got me (and others) on some horrific spam list. All at once I'm getting 50 to 75 per day. I don't need male enhancement, payday loans, cheap life insurance, etc. and I'm damn sure I didn't win any lottery because I'm way too cheap to play. Any easy way out of this mess without changing my email address?

Thanks Scott, I was afraid that was the answer. The people that spam and hack should be hunted down IMO. Not like law enforcement hunted, like rednecks after deer hunted!:evil:
