After running PCCleaner Plus that hopefully would fix this slow running comp....it used to dsplay"auto protect mode on" just above the taskbat in IE 8. I have windows 7.I ran the FIX IT in the Norton get help menu...but...no luck. I keep checking to make sure "auto protect" is ON.I connected to one of your techs who was very good and he went into the event viewer and found MANY items that were WARNINGS or ERROR.I'm trying to save a little $$ and not have to have an expert remove the unwanted "malware or virus...IF I have that problem.Any ideas that I can try myself? Thanks!
