I have avast, no problem because I don’t use IE.

Used it for five years, not single issue.

“I have avast, no problem because I don’t use IE.”

OK, since a thread has opened on computer problems, I do not feel shy to post mine.

I love Firefox. The look is great and much classier then IE.
I may, however, have to give it up.
The longer it is open, the computer slows to a crawl.
For example, I can be typing an email, then as I type, the characters stop printing on the screen. I have seen it go maybe 3 min. before they show up.

Last night, I was about to smash my computer, as everything slowed to a crawl.
I get stuck with an hourglass, and often the HD is going nonstop. I have defraged but have very little on the drive.
(Toshiba Laptop)
I notice that the “commit charge” stays very high.
I went back to IE this morning and went all day with no problems. I am, however back on Firefox to see what happens.
I also note that every time I accept the Firefox upgrades, my problems get worse.
I confess, the computer stays on and connected 24 hours a day.
