Do you have any anti-virus installed?

**jerryhii** · 06-02-2008

Yeah i did install an anti-virus. It's not so good but alright only.

Jerry, you'll need to be more specific with your answers - For example, Norton Products are notorious for causing certain kinds of problems, whereas another product can be notorious for causing other kinds of problems, and so on - the more info you give the easier it becomes to troubleshoot your machine.

Remember - we;'re not there sitting at the machine, so we need every piece of detail because, as you said, you're new to this, so you won't have any idea what *is* and what is *not* important.

John is Right...

I want to know what anti-virus you have installed because it could be causing the problem and because Im not physically at the machine I cant tell whats going on...SO we will be asking many questions from you about your machine and settings and trial some options to help you try fix the problem.
