Let’s hope that maybe just maybe something changes…never hurts to have hope.
I hope you removed all the eMachines junk that comes with it:

Win 7 should work OK but 3GB RAM would be better.

Well yes, Although to be fair my Emachines did not have a lot of crap. Just McAfee or norton I can’t recall and an update program that is no longer supported by them.
Thank you for the link…I’ll run it now.
Quoting out of context isn’t very nice. This wasn’t directed at you but you sure make it look that way… 
I’m running Win 7 on a system with 1.5GB of RAM and a Cel D 352 3.2Ghz cpu and it’s working just as well as my Pentium D 925 Dualcore system with more RAM. Don’t worry about it…it should work just fine for you. I have not experienced any slow downs or lag. System is very responsive. I’d say almost if not equivalent to the speed of my Ubuntu install.
I didnt make accusations, if its directed to me :
peace lol, i trust all my avast friends.

Create a bootable USB key with linux on it.
The download is also available from here.
You can download the ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso file from:

I often pop in without logging on and saw this IObit security 360 beta that Bob posted.I downloaded it a week ago and am running the resident protection along with Avast,Windows Defender and Winpatrol.The reason I am trying it is that it does give free resident protection.
You get daily updates and am pleased with it.It has no conflicts with other security app's.And does not take a lot of resources.As long as it stays free I will stay with it.If they gain by experimenting on my machine I gain with a free security app.If it gives any grief I always have the option to terminate it.

Interesting but I have a feeling some of the links it provides are not all that good.
Does that mean you’ve tested them ???
( The website comes up clean in all of the link scanners. Unless you have proof, please, please,
do NOT make accusations agains any website. :‘( )
Reputations are very hard to build and very easily destroyed. :’(
WOW that’s a lot of search engines :o 8)
I only thought there were a few…
There are, only a few good ones ;D, but these tend to be country, language, people, specific
I remember when I was using Iobit defrag,and triled their Advanced System Care,
I had a few problems with the settings of the latter,(not problems with the software,just understanding it),and their tech guys were very nice.
Avast users understand how important a helpful Forum/Support team is,and these guys seem pretty good.
IObit Security 360 was just updated to Beta version 2.2
A system restart will be required after the program update.
Enjoy.
good point… I didn’t check all the links and to be clear when I said “not all that good” I was referring to spam. There are some search engines that look more like spammers than anything. Of course this doesn’t mean anything and you are right bob. I shouldn’t make baseless accusations. I apologize for that 
It was not my intention in any way, shape, or form. I was just overthrown by the sheer quantity of various search engines that I was in denial (Excuses, excuses, excuses…). :-[
Apologies accepted. 
see attached picture
it’s when I tried to download that program…
That’s another reason why I am glad I don’t use Avira any more.
The many False Positives that it has and they refuse to admit that is not malware because they say so and won’t be swayed.
If you search on Flash_Disinfector that has been recommended here countless times as a protector for USB sticks and try to download it then run it Avira will declare it malware is another.
Hmmm…what should I say? Avira, for better or for worse, tends to be quickest in warning the user. It may be crying wolf but the occasions are rather rare, which is, at least, in my case. When I’m sure its false positive, I simply let it exempt the file in question. It’s still at the level of better safe than sorry to me. After all, I guess it’s all pros and cons.
PS O.K. I see it’s rather off topic.
