*heh*Thanks onq. I don't understand enough about operating systems to risk trying linux.
Adaware and Malwarebytes are fine.I've disabled all the stuff at start-up that I know I can. Adaware just found a damn trojan on my system. Tho how this got there I have no idea. I'm very careful. I've removed it, and am running Malwarebytes to be sure. Should I change passwords etc?
*heh*
Its the standard nerd response to someone with Windoze problems.
I wouldn't recommend formatting C - I'd recommend a dual boot system, which most Linux distros can handle for you. Ubuntu is free....

ONQ.
.... My main concern with the trojan is that my passwords etc might be compromised. Should I change all these?
As for the browser, I heard that Firefox has security problems, so would Chrome be better?
Hi,
Also, check your usage of "My Documents" folder... ideally that should be kept to a minimum (size wise) - option to link / shortcut it to other disk drives is there also... Your main hard drive should be kept to a minimum in what you store in there (pics / mps / vids etc - put them out onto other disk drives if you can...)
What are you getting at here? Is this a disk space issue or what? Most laptops won't have a seperate disk drive, and it's not really practical to suggest that all files should be stored on an external drive.Re: "My Documents" - depends on what you have in there... Personally, I wouldn't keep any pictures / video / music files in there... documents, would/should be ok... assuming that they don't take up too much space..
nai - think that this was "tongue in cheek"... classic response to someone who logs issues with windows performance... just to use linux instead... nothing else suggested / implied...
I didn't understand the My Documents reference either. Whats the problem with that?
