Victoria, you need a virus program that PREVENTS virus from entering your computer.. not one that just removes them after the fact.
AVG is good & FREE.. can download it.
Once that nasty stuff gets in, you often have a progressive problem that will destroy more than you wish.
If you have not done so yet, back up all. If you have a lot of graphics an external hard drive might be the best. DO NOT back up any of the OS programs etc...
Hi Dolly, I got Norton, AVG, and other antivirus programs. I ran all of them this evening, so I hope it isn't a hardware or another computer problem. It's working pretty good right now, so let's see how things go.
