| 849620 | 2010-01-18 02:35:00 | Or actually the new one. NIS 2010 Happy with everything. I was wondering why an almost new Win7 laptop with 4GB was running like a handicapped snail. 31 spyware removals later and so many trojan removals I lost count it now runs like greased lightning. NIS 2010 has been consigned to the rubbish bin. |

In this case, price was one of the driving factors and the idea that somehow a paid for product would be better than a free one. Sometimes you just want to wring there necks, they ask for advice and then go off on a different track and then complain. |

Common one I think most Techs get is -- "I brought XYZ Product - What do you think of it --Its OK isn't it" :rolleyes: ( why ask - you brought the damn thing already) |
