Apparently, after uninstalling the AVG and the McAfee (both of which I had
already disabled) and left the Kaspersky, the problem resolved itself. I
have yet to run a complete system scan though. I'm afraid of the time
commitment.
To answer your question, Bob, it's a refurbished Gateway that I got from
CompUSA after they re-opened. It comes with a 500GB hard drive and I had a
200GB hard drive from my other machine whose motherboard died. (Apparently,
kitty litter dust isn't good for the fans. Who knew?) I have another 160GB
drive that I've set up as an external drive, but that wasn't even included in
the 13 hour scan.
