Got a problem - Blu-ray Forum

tommyboy81 · 07-10-2008, 01:05 AM

Ok I don't know when it happened but I just noticed it just now. I have Vista Antivirus. An update came down today about a service pack for Windows Vista. It took a hour for it to download. After that it said that it couldn't complete the download and had to reinvert everything back. That took another hour. About 10mins ago I decided to run the Antivirus thing. Noticed the shortcut Icon didn't look right and when I clicked on it all it was was just a pic. The program is gone. I can't find it at all. What the hell do I do? Like I said I don't know if it was from this. To hell with me paying another $50.

alot of times problems with computer lag arent viruses, they are adware.Run a freeware program and scan remove them

I got my McAfee running now. I have this Norton thing that scans also but thats all it does. It showed me 3 high risk stuff but if I say delete them it'll ask me to buy the program.

google adaware, and download that, run a full scan and delete all the tracking cookies thats are causing computer lag. Let me see if I can find a link.

Tommy I have told you downloading porn may keep your hands soft, but it slows the computer down

Rather have that instead of a box of Post ***** Cereal. Heard they get stale pretty quickly.

Spybot (I think thats what it is called) has helped me out when I catch something.

Actually, the best thing you can do to prevent getting adware and crap is installing Linux
