Few reasons why your computer gets slow and stuck: 1. you have spy ware on your computer(which makes your computer slow by%50) 2. your computer might be affected by some viruses(you get them from browsing some websites and downloading free songs and etc) 3. there more reasons, but for now DELETE your cookies and temp files my suggession for you is to go to www.downloads.com and get your FREE Ad-Aware SE personal software...(when you enter www.downloads.com type Ad-aware SE in the search box and go )this software destroys all your spy ware and destroys about %99.9 of your viruses.....your internet provider should provide you some anti virus programs , which protects your system from viruses 4. you dont need to buy expensive Mcafee and etc every six month, you can get them for free mostly....you can also get your anti virus FREE software from that site www.downloads.com * Ad-aware SE is recommended by the AOL specialists ** After doing all this, if you still have same problem, save all your goodies on a disk FORMAT your HD and reinstall everything, or if your computer comes with a RECOVERY disk , save all your goodies on a disk and insert the RECOVERY disk and reload the original DATA good luck Kuchh To Log Kahenge Logon Ka Kaam Hai Kehena

khobi! O My God!!
A good package like Norton Internet Security should cater to all these It is a year's subscription 60$ I think is the rate but should atleast let you breathe properly. You may have to give the details of the configuration of your system.. so as to enable the techno gurus to help you out. The server busy status of the HF server has nothing to do with your system. It happens due to the load on the server. I handover the thread to experts who will help you out. N |

And i dont think you have to buy them every 6 month ... 2.If your Computer is acting sluggishly the problem could be, lot of programs running at the startup. you can customizes you startup using "msconfig" i m sure that will help. start->run>(type)msconfig Answer for 3rd question ..... dont worry its not your computer ..its because of the load on the HF server. Hope this will help !! First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

In case you want a decent free anti-virus package, you could try AVG Free, downloadable off the net.
They also have a priced version. Self - belief is the most potent force.

thank u good friends
i might try some...........but, there are some things that i already have............as one of u said to delete cookies, i do every week..........the other thing, that i already have Norton Anti- Virus...........whenever i scan it shows no virus in my computer.......but i am still doubting.....maybe i should go for those free anti viruses, instead of spendin too much money , once on Norton, and now it asks about McFee .......thank u once again .......................................................................
