| Elite Fan  | I'm impressed dood...that's a nice pc. What'd it set you back? Sheida, by comparison, he's getting about 3 times the PC he currently has.  __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| Elite Fan | With tax, about $1800. Thats including a 500gb removable HD. And in 2 years when my new pc is horribly outdated I'll go through all of this again. And be warned, following any links on HP's site that say "gamer" will lead you to the insanely overpriced voodoopc. I remember I bought my current computer after my old eMachine took a lightning hit and lost the motherboard. At the time this was the absolute best that Best Buy had to offer. This HP took a lightning hit not too long ago and all it lost was the integrated network adapter. Nothing a $6 Wal-Mart NIC couldn't fix. __________________ The only defense against a tyrannical government is an armed citizen. ~Thomas Jefferson Last edited by The Happy Psycho : 04-11-2008 at 12:57 PM. | |||

| Elite Fan | I have not had virus on this pc...since I got it actually. The worst I've found is some spyware. __________________ The only defense against a tyrannical government is an armed citizen. ~Thomas Jefferson | |||

| Elite Fan | Get some anti-virus software, SpyBot, and Ad-Aware. Probably wouldn't hurt to run a defrag either. I'm amazed this pc is still as quick as it is. I'm down to 4% free space on my HD.  __________________ The only defense against a tyrannical government is an armed citizen. ~Thomas Jefferson | |||

| Elite Fan | I never let my PC's get below 20%....if they do, it's time for a new hard drive. What viruses Irene? Sheida, do what Crash said, go get free virus software and kill 'em all. You'll be so much better. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!" "Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic."

| Elite Fan | With earlier versions of SpyBot and Ad-Aware the programs would fight with each other on my pc. I'd try to run an Ad-Aware scan and SpyBot would try to shut it down. And SpyBot kept marking a specific Norton file as spyware. __________________ The only defense against a tyrannical government is an armed citizen. ~Thomas Jefferson | |||

| They were Trojans. Ever since I got AT&T, I forgot I could install their security features. Hmm, I should go get some spyware and adware from them now... __________________ (\_/) (O.o) (> <) This is Bunny. Copy Bunny into your signature to help him on his way to world domination. | |||

| Elite Fan | You should also make sure that the dat files are updated. Virus definitions change, so as they change, so do the definitions. Irene....ewwww....Trojans always suck. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!" "Tact is for people who aren't witty enough to be sarcastic."

| Elite Fan | Its been years ago now, but the worst thing thats ever happened to one of my pc's was a browser hijack. In the time frame of about 10 seconds I got 3 hours of cleaning worth of spyware and trojans. __________________ The only defense against a tyrannical government is an armed citizen. ~Thomas Jefferson | |||
