Have I to much security
7 Answers
I use the AVG Professional Anti-virus programme plus I occasionally run Registry Mechanic through my files but most recently I included the Ad-Aware Plus programme to my armoury....Since then my PC seems to have gone to sleep......Can one have too much security? Is one programme causing conflict with another?...If so, which should I dispence with?...Your advice will be much appreciated....Thanks....Telboy

Thanks ACtheTroll....I deleted AdAware and pleases to say my PC speed came back to norm...As I said, I hace the proffessional AVG and they have just notified me of an added Anti Spyware package for a "one-off" fee of �5:95. I run Defrag and Disc Clean-up regularly so hopefully I will be secure without the loss of speed (The very reason I ditched the more expensive Norton / Symantec. Thanks for your help....Telboy

you must also have a brain the size of the moon to remember a password like that .....64 characters - phew! .....
you must really distrust your family to go to those lengths.
All it takes is a linux bootable distro ... and all those letters just vanish! and your files are wide open to everyone
