Messed Up
« on: November 13, 2003, 02:18:25 AM »
Hello again...

As much as I hate to admit it, I have messed up my computer again, I think.
I am a bit paranoid about my computer...it is my link to the outside world while I undergo surgeries to help my legs.

I downloaded many programs thinking it would help keep my computer running better...instead they are using up resources ..and I think they may be conflicting with each other.
My SO gave me a big computer book to help me understand more about them. So I guess I will educate myself while I recover from Friday's surgery.

all of you have been so helpful! and I deeply appreciate your willingness, your patience with me, and your kind replies to my ignorant and many questions.

Once I know more about these things, I will be back...
it's terribly embarrassing to be so lacking in knowledge...thank you for not making me feel stupid!

I didn't know where to post my thanks to all of you for your help. I hope I did not do this the wrong way!

My best wishes to all of you!

cojo,

It is not unusual for a user to come here without answers....
Why would they then come?  We enjoy helping others especially those who cherish Avast the way I do, and others like Technical, Culpeper, Pavel, VLK and Igor from the Avast team.

IM is simple to use.  Click on the IM icon under the user name and send your message.  It will appear when the user signs on in the upper top edge of the screen next to the Avast logo banner.

Ask what you wish when you need to, or ask for help on whatever.
Try to post your new topic in the correct section.

Take Care and hope your recovery goes well,
Techie

yes, I did! it certainly was interesting ;)
so much information!! wOw :)

I have another post about getting different results on the scans...
and I found out how to look at the windows event log 8) and found some error and warning entries there, also.
this has turned into an adventure to discover these things! but I still won't remove anything unless you experts tell me to ;D

Cojo, do not post your personal information here...
In your email to me, there are licence keys and other personal stuff.

If you want, delete al least these sections: Software Licenses and Logins
Belarc Advisor reports are quite personal ones...
Of course, I will keep yours in secret  ;D
