Illness in the house

Yeah, there is illness in the house! both the laptop and I have a virus! GAK! somewhere along the line the laptop caught a nasty little bug that messed with Exploroer in a big way untill finaly it was getting taken over.
There is a PQ Service partition on the hard drive so I did a recovery and reinstalled all the updates. I'm not going to install everything, I have a new drive for it that will speed up the process in a big way, SPEED IS GOOD!
I also have a nasty little bug that is kicking my butt, I'm hoping to feel better soon, there are still things that need to be done here at the house, just no energy or ambition on my part.
I received the memory that I was waiting for, most of it! the ram will max out five laptops memory. Generaly a 512Mb. PC2700 SODIMM is around $30, I was able to pick them up for $14 each! a VERY good deal indeed.
If you want to speed up your computer, install and MAX out the memory! THEN!! clean it up using the freeware that is available!
1. Ad Aware 2008
2. Spybot search and destroy
3. C-cleaner
4. Auslogics disc defrag
5. Auslogics registry defrag
6. AVG free
ALSO!!! use disc cleanup! it is under accessories on XP and Vista!
This stuff is all FREE folks! FREE is GOOD! and they REALLY work!
Time to head off for now, bed is calling me!
Later!

"I CAN!" Man
