Quad core AMD processor, 4GB memory

Sounds typical of a MS-Windows system. But it may also be a lot of flotsam
eating up your CPU cycles. AVG provides rescue disk images that you can download
and write to a USB stick or burn to a CD. They boots up Linux and ask if you
want to scan your hard drives for malware. The first step is to update the
definitions list from their server. It took my wife's Win7 laptop six hours to
do the complete scan. But it found, and cleaned out, 9 different trojans
installed on her machine. They were there in spite of an active anti-virus
package provided by the vendor she was renting it from. I'm going to run it once
a week for a while. Makes me glad that I switched to Linux (Slackware) 19 years
ago.
