There are some Windows systems that Microsoft no longer supports with updates. Which OS do you have?

What anti-virus program do you have and does your computer seem sluggish or has anything been happing that is out of the ordinary?

[Ascension]

I use PC Tools Spyware and Registry Mechanic. The computor is sometimes sluggish.

You'll also need an anti virus program and a firewall. Check the third thread in this forum called "Security Help Tools" posted by CookieGal. Download either AVG or Avast and check for virii. Run whichever program you decide and let us know the results.
