Quote:the lay-computer users are getting fucked with this stuff. i had to reformat a buddies drive his pc was so infested with this shitty bloodsucker software. you wouldn't believe how many resources it takes up in the background without even you knowing it.
Not just from downloads. I had ot make sure my home computer was working PERFECTLY before I left becasue I obviously wouldn't be able to troubleshoot it. I tried deleting EVERYTHING that wasn't needed and it still sucked. Slow performance, hanging up, etc. I ended up buying a second harddrive and installing the operating system on that and using my old drive as a slave drive just to retrieve info, etc. Works great now. Haven't heard a single complaint from home.
Plenty of programs run background crap, like Realplayer's desktop icon next to the clock.
