My FSX machine is OK but this one is getting slower by the day. I've an idea that it's down to Avast's searches taking longer, as the number of potential viruses multiplies. It also seems to look at each site, before allowing me to access it. Does that sound reasonable?
In contrast, my FSX machine, which accesses the netvia the router, only to get to IVAO, doesn't run an antivirus programme.

My main PC seems to have developed an annoying slowdown recently. Both my PC's are running W7 and whilst the second is working away quite happily this one is getting a bit of a slug. The problem is that on starting any program the hard drive thrashes for a good 30 seconds or more before the program loads. I get the same sometimes when switching between programs too so it's painful work. Even after a reboot the same happens so it isn't a full cache. I've got 8Gb RAM and plenty of Virtual Memory set but it feels as if both are full the way the machine behaves. Anyone else ever had similar? bones bones@xxxxxxx http://woodair.net
