[QUOTE="ChitkaStruck, post: 121310, member: 8255"] Hey there; sorry I've been so sporadic. Again, finals have been really taking up my time. I followed all of the things you suggested. I installed Avast, and I have not installed a firewall as my system already feels pretty slow. I haven't been getting pop ups or blue screens; I imagine my system is pretty much clean now. However, I have noticed fairly frequent lag spikes on my computer when I'm doing normal things, such as watching videos on YouTube. They aren't major, and for all I know they're unrelated, but I figure you'd know better than me. If you have any suggestions, awesome. If not, no worries. :) Thank you so much for all of your help!
