No Internet and Slow Processing
Hi, I got a Me computer about 7 years ago, and recently I have no connection
to the internet, even though the high speed internet modem for me is working. I think that there is a big glitch in the operating system, and it has dramatically slowed down and freezes. My Anti-Virus software is Norton-Antivirus 2005, and my internet browser is IE6 sp1. I think that is a new time to get a computer (7 YEARS), but I only use it for internet and word processing. Got any comments on this. I also recently have been reciving threats of worms attacking my computer if that helps. |

No Internet and Slow Processing
My Anti-Virus software is Norton-Antivirus 2005,
An AV application that is 101% incompatible with Win Me and cause far more problems with the operating system than any it might prevent. Such problems are wide-ranging and can affect many areas including trashing system restore and making the installation of new hardware and some programs virtually impossible. My advice would be to check your system on-line using something like Trend Micro's Housecall (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) after which I would then install a compatible AV application of which there are many to consider including free and paid for versions such as Avast (from Atwil), AVG (from Grisoft), Panda, Trend, Computer Associates, NOD32 and Kaspersky. I wouldn't recommend McAfee although this has improved and strongly recommend that you avoid any product with the Symantec or Norton label as most cause major problems with Win Me. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows schacko wrote: Hi, I got a Me computer about 7 years ago, and recently I have no connection to the internet, even though the high speed internet modem for me is working.
