Hi,

Thank you for the opportunity to fix my computer problems. This is such a great service and I'm grateful for it's existance.

So my problem is that my computer is painfully slow. It takes forever for any webpage to load, whatever the content. And often times, a page freezes for great lengths of time (relatively speaking of course). It's tremendously frustrating and I was hoping that someone would help me get to the root of the problem.

A couple of things that may (or may not) be of help).

*The problems seemed to start when I downloaded the new version of McAfee. My contract with them had expired and when I renewed, they made me download a new version. I don't know if it was just a coincidence, but that seemed to be the start of my computer's crawl.

*Within the last several months, I've noticed a pop up bubble that indicates that my Virtual Memory is low and that the computer will automatically shift things to fix this (or something to that affect). This used to pop up infrequently (once every 6-8 weeks), but recently has popped up with greater frequenct (1-2 times a week).

*And this I'm pretty certain has no relevance, but might as well mention it, my dash and underscore buttom has ceased working. I now have to cut and paste to use those items.

Anyway, if someone can offer some help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
