HI everyone, I actually just removed MacAfee and then got rid of some other
programs that I no longer use and then updated Windows. Keeping my fingers
crossed this will be the end of it. I have opened a few folders and had to
restart the computer a few times and they opened up and the system as a
whole started quicker. I posted in another post a few minutes ago that I
started to notice the problem after installing the latest version of Java on
Tuesday. Could this have had something to do with it all? I have never had
a problem with Java interfering with anything.
