super slow PC Start-Up...

[Skiz]

On a seperate note, do you not have any virus protection???? I dont see anything listed in startup. If not, that pc is gonna be a paperweight in no time if your downloading.

In fact I have ¨Norton AntiVirus 2005¨...
And since I can remember, almost all of the people that I know that use Internet or a filesharing program, have been ¨deeply traumatized¨ for being victims of some sorth of virus, the don´t even want to use these programs...
but, naaaa, I have almost two years sharing and downloading all kind of things, and never, never a single virus has caused me any truble, many times I get the Alert that a virus has been detected and eliminated or put in quaretine.
-I always say, let us not be intimidated by viruses,just be well protected and fear nothing...-

@ Worldpease, looks like you have Norton Antivirus. Do a virus scan, and check out this site: http://www.blackviper.com/

Sheesh, What is she lookin for?

norton sucks.
when I use it it takes my computer like 5 minutes to stop "crunching away" (doing ahrd drive activity) after turning it on.

Try uninstalling it and install avg or nod32. they never give me any problems.

First, Get rid of WinAdServ, WinAdSlave and WindUpdate. Nasty Spyware.

Second, get more memory, with all those progs running 128MB isn't nearly enough.

Third, change your AV/Firewall, Norton is far too resource hungry.
