Oh Ow Spagetthi O!

Well not exactly Italian, but is this case my computer started to really screw up. I did a few checks and was discovered that there were a couple of viruses on the computer. Oh well, it looks like it may be the start of a slippery slope and at the bottom is my computer lying in little pieces after I throw it out the window in sheer frustration.
Anyway think of the solution. So I went on the internet, oh the irony as it is the very place where I know I got my viruses from in the first place, stratght to SNAPFiles and to download anything with Virus protection in it. After a couple of different programmes and a number of different searches of the HDD I settled on AVG. It ended up getting rid of about 9 different things off the computer. Hopefully that sets the virus' back a bit.
Not settled to leave it there I also tried to Defragment the HDD. Wow, when I started there was only 1% of the HDD free. So I guess that is why it was going so slow. Delete, delete and a bit more till I have freed up around 15%. Hopefully this keeps the good old stylish laptop going for a little while longer.
