The past three days MSN has sucked....someone sent that damn worm and its slowed down the internet and I can't check my email half the time. MSN better get their act together...they are supposed to be the biggest and the best yet this stupid worm has effectivly shut them down for three days now. I hope they catch the idiot that wrote this virus...if they start giving these idiots some serious jail time and I mean serious...not this shit of communitiy service. Maybe they should give these people a year in jail for every computer they infect....that of course would be a life sentence.....It may not solve the problem but I bet there would be a lot less computer viruses going around if they did that. I have never understood why these people write a virus and send it around to millions of people they don't even know. What could they possibly gain from this stupid, idiotic action? dawgy just had to vent.com

I'm sure I have heard it here and I have read it in programs that come with uninstalls - if there is an uninstall then use that over add/remove because the uninstall is designed specifically for that particular program and will remove all necessary files. I would like to know the reason this person says that you should use add/remove over the uninstall - did he say why other then it's unorthodox? I have AVG - is that a registry cleaner - if not I will look into the one you recommended. Anyhow, we're off later today for a Super Bowl party - who's playing anyhow? LOL
