I wonder if there wasn't a problem with the internet everywhere today... This morning it took so long for everything to load that I just gave up trying to look at anything on PT or anywhere else. I was ready to call my ISP but tried my laptop and it acted the same so I knew it was a internet problem, not a computer problem with my PC...

My IP put a note on their home page that a new worm has been detected today. That must be why Norton did updates on my system and may be why there has been so many problems today.

I've got AVG, too. It's great! I don't like Norton. I used to think it was the best out there. I've also gor Microsoft's beta anti virus protection.

Same thing happened to my computer the last time I had computer problems. It started off doing it once in a while, then all the time, and then I ended up having to re-do my whole computer. I now use McAfee and probably will never think of using POS Norton again.
