N thinks I have an unlucky touch with computers. I have begun to agree with him. I am shopping around for LCD monitors for my HP laptop. In the meantime, been using hubby's old laptop that runs so slow but hey it allows me internet access and so am a happy camper. Well, until Saturday. We noticed that everything was running even slower. So instead of a window opening up in 2 minutes, it was taking 3.5. sigh. It got horribly worse day before yesterday on. The scan didn't show anything. We then got spybot to do a scan and found some trojanhorse that wouldn't get deleted. So, through their forums got rid of it. Now it's up and running much faster actually! yay! Hubby will be happy!

Now am wondering if this Symantec Endpoint is actually good to keep and if I should keep the Spybot running as well. sigh.

I say get rid of Symantec and install AVG anti-virus and Comodo firewall. And, of course, don't use Internet Explorer. You should be safe then.
