Title: Computer Probs...
Katra! - August 16, 2009 08:49 AM (GMT)
My computer's been acting up lately. Whenever I try to multi-task, and try to come back to the page I was on last, I have to wait like 2 minutes while my mouse freezes too. It lags with MS Paint, it doesn't shut down right, it sometimes turns off by itself, and my main disk (ACER C:) keeps on filling up by itself! I delete and delete stuff but nothing seems to work and the has only 826 MB left on it!
There could be a few reasons for this.
1. I bought it a year ago.
2. There is some weird program that I can't delete. The name of it is 'dark'.
3. My mom slammed it on the floor about 2 weeks ago.
4. There might be a virus downloaded...
5. ????
6. Profit!
Anyway, my computer is an Acer model, a laptop. Please give me advice to help clear up some space on my main disk, or to make my compyootur run fastur. And don't tell me to delete system32. I know what that does. :P
Also, it runs on Vista...

Sell it on eBay and get a better one and keep it updated with the latest Anti-virus software! My uncle's laptop got a virus because of his not being able to update it regularly enough!

-.-...
As you can see, I'm looking for ways to better my computer, not to fucking sell it when it sucks and has a crack through the computer, and all my shit in it, and when I don't have any money.

Selling it gives you money! BUt with your stuff on it that gives us a problem. Dowload the free AVG antivirus program from Grisoft. It works brilliantly as an Anti-virus. It updates every day to keep your computer safe from viruses and the like.
Then do a scan of your computer with it and it'll get rid of any viruses and stuff like them (trojans, Worms etc.)

I can't sell this computer, it would bring me about $10.
As for the updates and download, did you read when I said that my computer has about 800 MB left on it?! D:

Uninstall and delete programs you never use anymore, Files you will never need again etc. Any way I don't think AVG uses up too much space!

I'm trying to do that. I have about 2.6 GB of space left on ACER C: now.

That's definitely enough for AVG now! Probs have loads of space to spare!
Also on a slightly unrelated note, would ya be able to help me with something I ve talked about in the Wi-Fi battle thread.

How much space total does your hard disk allocate?
