LOL, that is too cute Crewella, boy that is exactly how I feel some days, and I am not even in traffic. I hate playing constant "doorman" to my cats constant parade of going in and out the back door, sometimes as much as ten to fifteen times in an hour and I get cranky, and then my husband ( who is in the other room enjoying my ranting and raving comments to the cats.... ) has the nerve to say, " you are so negative", be polite to them and show some love, blah blah blah,, yeah I show them love all day and it never fails I sit down to eat something and the blooming phone rings, the cats meow to go out or worse yet, one of them scratches with her claw like fingers on a chalk board till I get up to  let her in, and then as soon as I am headed back to the couch to sit down and try and eat my lunch, dinner or what ever morsel it is, "MEOW. LET ME OUT PLEASE!" THIS GOES ON ALL DAY ALL NIGHT UNLESS THEY ARE ASLEEP..... Makes me want to run and hide. but I can't leave the back door open as some cats can't go out into our back yard and no we do not have one of those pet doors as we are renters and the land lord won't let us put one in..
                       Oh, Excuse me, one of the darling puddy kats wants out again....get the point. Send that Shelby to my house he will get used on a hourly basis! Besides, he is cute and I almost bought one a year or so ago on ebay..                  RWM

Poor Shelby! Anyway. I'm not sure what could be causing this slow-down. I know what's causing my slow-down, though. It has a lot to do with a certain dog who wanted to play the first three times I took him out in the night last night rather than do his business. I'm out of here!

If you are after a good free anti virus try Avast or AVG.

Hehe Talon the Jaws coming up on my search was more related to the movie monster rather than the windows program

[Crewella]

AVG fan here, too! 

I keep getting 'server reset' messages as well, when I post.

[PWOKristy]

Really? Those are free anti-virus downloads?

[InmemoryofRomeo]

They are free but be careful when you download it that you pick the free option and not the sneakily placed pay options

[Talon]

Yep. I've used Avast since two thousand eight. I've gone through two fourteen-month trial programs and then I found one that would protect me for two years without having to re-enter my registration key. Plus it speaks to me when it updates and goes crazy with syrons and everything else when something tries to get into your system. I like it for the most part. Some of the scan features are a little clunky with JAWS. I've been told to try Microsoft Security Assentials by many of my fellow JAWS users. I know nothing about it, though other than the fact that it works with JAWS and it's free. I had AVG first but it was causing my computer to Slowowowowow dowowowownnnnnn like nobody's business and because JAWS and Vista are such memory hogs, I could go for a short walk or take a good long shower before my computer would boot completely.
Ha ha! That's funny, IMR- that you only found stuff about the Jaws movie. I was hoping you'd find the real JAWS stuff, though. I wanted to know how they did on the Australian reading voices they have with it. My favorite is Karin. If you can't find them that's okay. I'll try to remember to put a snippet of it in my Ugobe pleo's welcome-home video.

Do NOT EVER USE MICROSOFTS ANTI VIRUS!!! Sorry can't stress that enough My sister has it and it is a load of garbage. She had the thing for twelve horrible months and had 8 major virus attacks in that time and of course it was myself who had to repair the damage. I downloaded Avast for her and threw the microsoft one in the bin, she hasn't had a virus since I found AVG slow too.

I'll look up the voice today sometime I have to go shopping soon

Norton's wonderful.  It used to be for free, but now it appears to be rather expensive.... 

[latrine]

I use AVG as well and a few extra firewalls on my PC.. I never liked Norton it always seemed very slow and buggy and I always had better results with avg. 

"I'm likely to turn left instead of right just to annoy it!!"  Crewella.. I heard the UK has the most car accidents resulting from people blindly doing what the GPS tells them to do, so I am very happy to hear that you do the opposite   "Turn .. left.. here..  " Poof.. car goes off a cliff.
