    My dad in the computer engineering business and works for himself, he knows what's good etc. All I know is that you need some decent ram in your machine also downloading zonealarm (a free firewall) wouldn't go a miss, it helps a lot

    Yes most virus scanners are not exactly what I'd call light weight. Prior to installing Trend Micro Security which is what I used to use before AVG, my computer booted 20 seconds quicker
    I'm not crazy, ask my toaster.

    Personally, I don't agree with this. At all.

    You should go to an anti-virus that is well known and works well. Hope you get it all sorted.
