Gary, believe it or not, (my brother doesn't), my computer never came with any disks. Everything was all loaded and ready to go so they never sent any disks with it. It never even had an owners manual.

I've just learned by trial and error with it.

My name isnt Gary but Im not suprised your computer didnt come with restore disks.

I learned most of what I know by trial and error too. I do have actual certifications but tests dont mean anything without the experience. Hellow could probably school me and he is less then half my age.

I second Catty for dumping Norton, but I recommend Avast over AVG.

If Norton was taking more the 80% of your hard drive I would hope you have all of that free and not just 13%.

We tried Avast at work and it messed with our network. We use AVG and have never had a problem. It's great!

I am so sorry!!! I have no clue why I thought your name was Gary!!! Must have been having a senior moment or something!!!

We havn't taken the Norton virus def files off yet. My bro can't help me until this weekend. I should have way more space after those are gone. One thing I will say for Norton, I've never had a virus in the 6 years I've used it. My account is paid up until the end of the summer, so I'll probably keep it until then if we can get rid of those files.

My bro just moved over 600 of norton's temp files to my alternate drive, just until we are sure they aren't needed.

I now have 45% free on my main drive. I did a defrag. Gosh, it's almost like having a new computer. It does scoot!!!

Thank you all for helping me.

YIPEEE I am so glad this worked out for you.

Norton can be such bloatware. I'm glad you got it sorted out!

I'm so glad that you were able to find out the problem and get it fixed. I also have Norton which is free with my Comcast Internet. Hopefully I'll never have this problem.
