Thank you for savin' my bacon!
Powerpig, I just have to sing your praises here. Thanks so much for spending most of your weekend rescuing me from that extremely pernicious Trojan horse and the other crap that invaded my computer on Friday. Everything is running great now. I really, really appreciate all you did for me.
You da MAN!

My computer at home crapped out just before I left for Europe and I need to get something done. It won't do anything and I wonder if the power unit is shot.

Are you back now. Pete? How was the trip?

The key to problem free computer ownership seems to be avoiding the porn sites.
Why the hell is this thing so slow today?

Or an Apple.....
Just kidding. I never had a problem with a slow computer. Then again, I reformat like 6 times a year.

Have you, or anyone else, figured out the cause for the slowdown? This machine has absolutely no spyware, no viruses, 1GB of ram, no heavy applications (the total is less than 350MB at any given moment, unless Firefox overloads the CPU). I regularly run Trend Micro, Spybot, Ad-Aware, and Clean-up. Running Registry mechanic cures 100 "errors" in the registry, but the machine doesn't run any faster. Anybody know the solution (spare me the "buy a Mac" responses, please)? Last edited by Brian Carlton; 05-27-2008 at 03:45 PM.

I think I AM going to buy a Mac for personal stuff and just use my Winders machine for work stuff from now on.
Of course, I do spend a lot of my working hours on this site. . . .

I have a Mac and Winders box. I like my Mac for general surfing, but I cannot do any work things on it, as all the applications are written for windows.

It's definitely faster after that dump. But, it's still nowhere near what it was when new. On occasion, I can still see a delay in the letters as they appear on the screen when typing this response.
