**Mello** · 10-23-2008, 06:48 PM

it happens about 1 time a day. if i am not at the desk when it happens, it freezes the computer. otherwise, i can end task before it gets too far.

i would like to try firefox, but the wife is a techtard, and refuses to try it. so i am stuck with IE (until i can get her on board).

I really don't want to reinstall windows, if i can avoid it.

any ideas?

I use AVG and windows defender, and have uninstalled mcafee entirely.
