7/7/2010 11:48:52 AM I purchased this PC for casual home use. I am not a heavy-duty user; use email , play some games and surf the web. The pc came with a Norton security program for the first 90 days and also included a CA security suite which I installed. It seriously slowed down performance and I had to take it in for repairs. I uninstalled CA security suite and it ran better. Now I purchased the newer CA tune-up version and am hoping it will resolve the issues I have with fragmented pictures, need for frequent reboots and these other frustrating issues I have been dealing with for almost two years. I hope.

7/8/2009 3:13:04 PM I have really had no problems with the computer that weren't brought on by myself (letting my niece get on once). I would probally say its been the best computer that I have owned, I try to upgrade with a new one about every 2-3 years.
