First, I want to thank everyone who has made additional posts to help me with my issues. I haven't been able to post for a few days as a nasty virus basically knocked me on my
*&^*...you get my meaning, right? In short, I lost 10 lbs in 24 hours! Not so bad when you think, its a start on getting ready for that 2-piece bathing suit I've been looking at!
Being as I'm better, my first question to you would be:
Remember my keyword in a previous post
"Varsity Team" Well guess what, here we go again? What the
is going on now? :'(
:'(
When I first downloaded my Avast and activated it to scan, she ran like a dream. It updates fine, no problem--even now. After reading 22,674 files, its freezing. Having read a previous post, found by a search, I wish I had copied down the location of where my system was "freezing"--unfortunately, I didn't. It has required a "hard boot" big time! The task manager, mouse cursor, nothing would move.
I did download the "Ewido" and "Fast Defrag" Programs--and love them. However, when my baby froze again, (just like it did on my 2 earlier systems), I removed everything that was a "new" installation. I again ran my Avast! and she froze again. I assure you I'm a tad bit smarter than I appear here, just getting my sealegs again, and didn't copy the location of the freeze.
:'( pretty dumb, I know!
Would you like for me to perform another one and get the location for you? If so, no sweat! From the same searched post, I found a "Trend Micro - Free online scan" suggested and ran it. Thank goodness it came up with nothing, all's fine with my baby--she came back clean as a whistle!
What's going on gang and what do you suggest?
Have I done something wrong that needs to be fixed? Because I really liked both Ewido and Free Defrag am I going to be able to reinstall them? Nothing has come up again as in "loss of virtual memory" etc--at least not so far To be perfectly blunt, there isn't anything on this system that would take up a lot of space that I'm aware of. I've installed no pix, graphics, nada especially nada on the book and thank goodness I haven't yet.
I do have one question that has my curiosity going not to mention causing quite a few chest pains lately and shortness of breath, OK just kidding,
Here's my concern:
As long as my blue avast icon in the system tray is "turning" and reads "7 providers total, 6 running" is my system protected? I know what you're thinking, why not all 7 running perhaps? If you are, I have not a clue on this planet to know how to be able to give you the answer. You know me--would definitely need step.by.step instruction on that one gangAlso, I've noticed when I'm on THIS site, the avast icon "DOES NOT" turn, is that significant? Is that something I should be concerned about? Is my system still protected?As always, thanks Team for the help. I'll be standing right here on the 50-yard line waiting for the Coach to send in the next play.
