  Do You Have A Slow Running Computer?         


Author: jeremiah wright
Date: Feb 29, 2008 01:07

Your computer was running fine, and now all of a sudden it is terrible
slow. Sometimes the program just locks up, and will not work. Other
times, the entire computer freezes. You know, the point where you must
hold the power button down for 5 seconds to shut the machine off. Or,
if you are running earlier versions of Windows, the infamous Blue
Screen of Death appears. All of these are signs something is wrong
with the internals of the computer, and this is causing you to have a
slow computer.
Think back, and see if you can remember installing something or
uninstalling something since the computer starting acting funny. Most
likely, you did. It might have even been something as subtle as an
update for your computer, or a greeting card, or even a screen saver.
As a side note, screen savers are one of the worst pieces of software
carrying spyware with it. If you do download something like this, use
your spyware remover and remove the junk that came with it. Back to
topic.
We all install and uninstall software. The problem with doing this is
it can mess up your registry files. The registry files are a set of
operational files which tell the computer how to run and operate the
computers software programs and hardware. When you install something ...

One day past due (02/27/2008), with a total of 49664 immunizations for ME.
You may want to immunize twice after the download, to remove 'all'
unprotected items in 'immunization' before scanning.

  Security Software for ME

Hi there,

Sorry to say I've asked this question before but have mislaid the answer.
Can you give me recommendations for various packages to run on a 7-year-old
Win ME system that are free? I'm looking for:

Antivirus
Antispyware/Malware
Pop-up blocker/ad blocker
Antiphishing
Firewall

Anything else I should have installed to keep this system secure. Would I
be better running FireFox rather than IE6?

This is a 433 MHz Celeron system with 192 MB of RAM.

Also, need to clean this system up. What would you recommend for
defragmenting and removing left-over files? Any other suggestions would be
most welcome.

Thank you!

Lynn

Is there any way of setting up my computer so that if a password is not
entered into the "Welcome to Windows" prompt box, an unauthorised user cannot
get any further?

TIA
