A visit to the doctor... for my pc

Our pc ailment: Tedious slow run time, crashing java, internet explorer often crashes on opening, slow harddrive access

Our treatment: Norton is up and current, defrag run, internet explorer reinstalled

A visit & report w/ the Dr. We hit Computer Time and David was our Dr. He's an old LT friend of Hubbie. (If you go his way... tell him we sent ya!)

#1 Norton is not enough!! Here's what we now have Malware bytes... he found like 25 things Norton missed... http://www.malwarebytes.org/

#2 Java was uninstalled & reinstalled... we'll see how that goes.

#3 We've added 1gig of ram... now we have 2gig... this was needed to surf and do anything else

#4 Recommended for kidos... K9 Web Protection is a free Internet filtering and control solution for the home. This also has tracking so you can see what's been sought for.... We are heading into this zone and evaluating options....

#5 Backups! Right now I'm shooting for 2 backups. One of my pics & videos that's in a safe place. Another is setting up to use an automatic backup system. SyncBack is what they recommended. It only updates the changes... Also to note, look for the free version.

That's about it. Not to run clean & stay out of the dr!! Grace! ss
