I'm using Avast; it seems to work fine so long as you don't mind it listing every password-protected archive on your computer at the end of its scan.

That, at least tells you that it's working! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Good luck with the Norton uninstall. Mine did not go so well. By the time it was done, none of the spyware or spybot programs would work right, even after a uninstall/re-install. Since the system was pretty much unstable at that point, I just reformatted the HD and installed XP from scratch.

Remember to backup anything that you consider VERY IMPORTANT, before you try to remove Norton.

Huh?? You actually WANT spyware and spybot programs to work on your system?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

People is like, 90% percent to communicating each other with than words other things.

Granted, our understanding words is pretty good too, but your understanding of that sentence probably came from as much interpretation of intention as interpretation of words.

Oh! Yes I did mean programs such as Spybot S&D and Adware. Sorry for leading you on that I was breeding viruses here! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Glue some wheels on the bottom and go out to your nearest local hill. Darn pc goes fast now!

Re: OT: Speeding up a slow computer
 

Yeah, use some of that 'Go down fast' stuff.

Re: OT: Speeding up a slow computer
 

With all the different types of glue available, which ones do you feel would be appropriate? Should I just use pc glue II as it’s ability to retain crap has a remarkable similarity to Win XP!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
Would the 'go down fast stuff' be affected by the size of the hill OR would a 'hill of beans' do?
