That would be good, since I’m far from a computer whiz myself. r247motorsports@gmailDOTcom is the address 🙂

I will try that AVast I agreet hat AVG sucks the computer down when it’s running here. I can’t have it scanning while I’m running solidworks or the PC damn near shuts down(SW almost taxes this PC as is)

Run Spybot Search and Destroy + Piriform CCleaner \<---- Freeware?
