GV>one of my Neighbor's has a new two year old Gateway
GV>computer with Windows XP Home, 2.3ghz with 1 gig memory
GV>and 80 Gig HD connected to the internet with Road Runner
GV>Cable modem, and Never Updated since they turned it on..
GV>The Windows FireWall was ON, but the six month Trail version
GV>of McAdfee had long ago expired..

GV>Also they had a two teenage Kids boy and girl
GV>that were on the Internet constantly, downloading
GV>Games, Music and two different "IM" instant messengers..


GV>They Asked me to take a look at their Computer, becuse
GV>it had problems, Extremely Slow, and would no longer
GV>accept Email downloads, and MSIE would not complete a
GV>connection to any website with Window Errors..




GV>I check available Free drive space on the 80 Gig drive
GV>and there was Only 1 or 2k of free space.. :-))

GV>the Temporary Internet Files area fir IE had 3 Gigs of trash
GV>that I cleaned out, then I checked the downloads folder
GV>and found 60 gig's of music and games..

GV>The Parants asked me to DELETE all of the files
GV>in the Download area,

GV>then I Installed Ad-Aware and AVG..

GV>AVG found and deleted over thirty Virus's and Trojans

GV>and Ad-Aware found over 600 Spyware files on the first
GV>run that took over and found another 200 on the
GV>second run... and 34 more on the 3rd run..  Whew!

GV>I then let the Windows Optimizer run and told them to
GV>leave the Computer alone until it finished, and went home

GV>8 hours later, the called me and said it had fished defraging
GV>the HD, so I went back over and Installed the Free
GV>version of ZoneAlarm andset it up..

GV>and Blocked out several of the Games that tried to run
GV>and Uninstalled some more Software that the Parents wanted
GV>to Delete..

GV>I gave them a short list of things to do on a regulare basis
GV>to keep their computer running, and
GV>a list of Cautions on what not to let their
GV>Kids do on the Computer.. :-))
