!!!!!! Hell, Dad's well-maintained Gateway 2000 (vintage 1994) is a nightmare, and it's been taken decent care of, except for the part where Mama never defrags.

Oh man, i'm a bear about that kind of thing. I always gotta' defrag and "Disc Cleanup" every so often. Nortons, Ad-Aware, Spyware Doctor, and Spybot: Search and Destroy are all run regularly.

Noone in this family knows shit about computers but me. No one besides me ran any time of defrag or cleanp or adware program on the desktop, and it was fucked up as a result. I didn't know about SD and S: S&D until about 2 months ago... the desktop was at a standstill, and I downloaded those 2 programs, and turns out I had 1,400 "infections" on the machine. I got rid of them, the desktop's speed doubled, and now I know that Nortons ain't perfect.

This laptop, however, is all mine, and the cretins will not touch it (and if they do, they won't get into it because it's locked. Can't be too careful.)

I haven't met Spyware Doctor yet. Is it good?

[lacey]

It is! It picked up those 1,400 'infections' :) You can find it here at Download.com :)

[azurelunatic]
