HI…not sure if this is the right place to post but anyway…I have a Celeron 633,15g drive and min memory(64) DSL, Win ME OS.Also running SpywareDoc software. After installing, avast/spywaredoc this computer can’t handle constant monitering that avast/spywaredoc performs.Very,very slow.Start up programs have be minimzed,yet about 5 min bootup process.Internet connecting is like on dial up again.Have read forums,have turned off all features possible on SpywareDoc and Avast(using Standard Shield/Outlook Exchange only). Can I do anything more with your program to help this situation… Ready to make a boat anchor out of this computer and buy a real one!!
Maybe an extra bit of RAM could do the trick ?
I think (but I am not sure) 128mb is the minimum for normal performance.
No need to buy a new pc when for lets say 30 euro you can double your RAM memory.
Fast, I would gladly install more ram but this is a Compaq and they only have 64MB cards @ $100 USD. Would end up w/128 but feel that is just a gamble…might not solve the trouble.
In answer to your question Eddy, I have the system running on selective startup w programs not needed to boot disabled.If it were not for this no telling how long it would take to start.Forgot to mention I do have Sygate’s personal firewall running also.
The SpywareDoc is from PC Tools and have checked for malware/viruses with this program,avast and others from various sites offering online cks.Did find and remove some trojans… which Norton missed I might add!! Have also gone to hyjackthis and removed unnessesary items they found.
