This is what I checked
-I used Norton AV with the latest updates for the virus check
-Lavasoft Adavare for the spyware
-Checked Task manager to see if there was any memory draining software running. Did not find anything unusual there.
(although I am not shure how to tell if anything is draining unusual amounts of memory.)
-That leaves the battery. That arouses one question then.
Could a damaged battery slow down the clock while the puter is all fired up ?
