I had AVG on my old comp. I suppose I could do that again. Thanks for the reminder.

I am very excited! My computer savvy son went with me to Best Buy and we put together a new desk-top with a 24" HD monitor and all the bells and whistles I needed...plus I saved $800 off the Dell that I was looking at with all the same stuff. He is setting it up now in my office. I am soooo happy.

I decided I needed a desktop more. He's going to strip down my Dell Laptop so I don't feel the need for a notebook yet. My laptop is small enough for travel...so until it dies I guess I will use it.

OMG. Something's wrong with my computer. It's running hella slow. When I type, the letters often appear way after I've typed them. And many pictures aren't appearing at all. I'm just getting those stupid little red x's. Here, FB, everywhere. I have AVG anti-virus and Spybot S&D so I dunno WTF. But I'm REALLY pissed. This thing was expensive and isn't even 3 months old.
Suggestions?

Two suggestions... First dump AVG... get avast www.avast.comSecond Spybot is ok, but get adaware instead. www.lavasoft.comUninstall the AVG and spybot first, then install the new software. They are the best on the market.
