I gotcha covered. Give me a call 221-4046. Can you bring the computer to me? $50 to fix it that way, $80 if you want me to come to your house. ---

first get urself a virus scanner and spyware scanner. there are some free ones on the net that work ok. if u have someone that has norton it will do. as for spyware scanner, just google ad aware se. it works good and keeps the spyware off ur comp. if you have no viruses or spyware then take it to jeff and let him have at er. btw make sure u dont download some junk virus scanner as it can end up hurting ur comp instead of fixing it.srry i dont know what any good ones are called. Just remember google is your friend. ---

^ i got shaw and it runs good for me everyday… if you actually call shaw and ask them, sometimes they even send a guy out to look at your comp. i know they did for me once and they ended up replacing the cable underground to the house because it was old a all cracked. its worth a shot, so just call shaw and tell them ur net is slow. ---

Bit defender is a really good antivirus online scan [www.bitdefender.com](http://www.bitdefender.com). I run it once a month and it picks up what my regular Antivirus software works.
