I had this old dimension 3000, P4 2.8, 512 megs cas 3 ram
did the slipstream and clean install
it was booting to the desktop w/wireless in 17 seconds, shutting down in 7 seconds, but how much abuse could it take?
:a
norton’s has a 15 day trial of 360
first I updated java, loaded spybot/immunized
360 turned autoupdates back on and tried to hose my vid driver(I already had the latest)
wanted me to do a full scan and download the maliscous removal tool, computer hadn’t even hardly been loaded or on the internet
everything was still going fine, bootup slower but most things still snappy
decided to call for reinforcements and installed winpatrol and avg free AV
and enable teatimer
I’ll crash this sob yet
swap file has doubled, available ram halved, scotty is having a fit, teatimer is hiding in the corner, avg is pushed to the end of the line
bootup time is 47 seconds, shutdown is a little iffy
let’s test all this protection
hmm here’s a file from P2P
