“A sucker buys a new PC at the first signs of a slowdown.”

SHHHHHH! This is how I get new PC’s. People complain how slow their old computers are, so they tell me they’re getting a new one. Invariably, they think their old computer is ‘broken’ and not worth anything. So, I offer to take it off their hands for a few bucks. Put a fresh install of Ubuntu on it, and I got a blazing fast PC that’s only a couple of years old with free updates for life.

So just KEEP QUIET!

Malware is everywhere. You can't browse on any Internet tech forum without someone mentioning this word (with disdain), usually in search of a remedy after being infected with spyware. No matter how careful you are, we’re guessing that many of you have had malware inadvertently installed on your system and may have even ended up reformatting your computer as a last resort. While that may have been the most thorough solution, it is in a sense admitting defeat. Or worse yet, you took your computer to get cleaned and was charged anywhere from $50-300 -- a high price for humiliation. But don't fret, because you can actually purge your system of malicious software for free! Just follow our comprehensive guide.

Time = About 4 hours

1. Scrub your system with SUPERAntiSpyware

Thanks for posting - a self-ping for home, where I do have one old soldier that could use a little help.
