Question
Thanks for your quick response yesterday, I did as you suggested and went via symantec to check viruses and thankfully there are none. I have defrag the pc often before do you have any other suggestions as to why it maybe sluggish.


Answer
Hi Allison,

Glad to hear there are no viruses on board, that is always good news! Try downloading Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2 fro free from:

Check for updates before running a scan.

Hope this helps!

I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
