6/21/2010 11:46:29 PM I just got this comuter today and this software, the ca antivirus plus anti-spyware, and a comuter bag with it that I purchased separately at Tigerdirectr.com I've noticed recently that it take quite a while for Windows to come up when I turn the computer on. Sometimes programs quit responding. I got this computer less than 3 weeks ago. I don't think this should be happening.
