1/28/2011 6:02:36 AM did lock up until I REMOVED THE COMCAST TOOLBAR. SEE TODAY IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE TELL ME TO GET RID OF IE8 INSTEAD, THAT ITS THE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW. BUT IT JUST WAS FREEZING UP AT ANYTIME ON ANY PARTICULAR SITE AND SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I HOPE REMOVING THE COMCAST TOOL BAR WORKED.

2/6/2013 10:21:18 PM was happy until 5 months ago. Had gotten a bad email, and since then, the computer is slow, there has been activity by strangers that have had access to my email and facebook accounts, which has caused me to change passwords almost monthly, and it still continues. I've had my email hacked which has sent out bad emails to my contacts also. Really discouraged!
