1.) Trojan downloader.Agent.AAE type cookieRated=HIGH, 2.) Cometcursor
Advertizing rated HIGH, I have settings clear tmp internet files w/ every
shutdown (which I do usually every morn b4 I go2 workxcept Wed it "sleep"
mode so it can do it's scheduled updates and clean-up/ de-frag. I clear
cache automatically and browser history is for no more than 7 days. I have
DSL through Qwest, the computer wasn't always this slow-- I know from just
adding my own personal settings/profiles for family users causes some slowing
as files are saved/downloaded/installed etc. but this goes a bit beyond I
feel. Avail Virt Mem=301.64 MB/1.46 GB, Phys total Mem=501.43MB/ 88.86MB
Avail. The system discs that came with this emachine=Windows Anytime
Upgrade+cert./Authinticity on the Operating Syst Disc WindowsVistaBasic 32
Bit<< registration failed because labeled codes do not match whatever the
pre-installed VistaBasic code says/is. Showing labels/stickers/cd-rom
case(s) to the computer screen haven't yet helped-- dare not mention my
thinning patience that caused me to just give-up vise blow-up. Does this
better help diagnose my issues? How big of idiot am I yet?
