    WTF?

    If your AV scanner is running in the background on a three month old computer there should be no problems concerning RAM.

    If your AV scanner is scanning the system and incoming data from a dial up connection at 44kbs dont you think that scanning the system and a broadband connection of incoming data at say 512 kbs would take more RAM resources?

    Your not making sense.

    Dont turn your AV scanner off ffs.

    My laptop is 8 months old and I have good old fashioned dial up……………my AV is running all the time and I have to say that my laptop doesn’t slow down because of it.

    I would presume that as your PC is only 3 months old Mystery Woman, you’ve probably downloaded something a bit dodgy off tinternet.

    Hi,

    If it is new and you have Win XP the problem might be WinXP settings.
    Do you have a background image on your desktop? Remove it.
    Right click on your desktop, and change them to windows classic. Go to settings and remove fading options….

    Go to http://www.tweakxp.com to find other tweaks.
