Thanks again. Yes I did do the full scan and last night it said there was one threat, hidden and unhealable. Then today there were 0 threats. When I type in this box it is fine, but as soon as I post and move to another page it is back. (that's why it has taken me sometime to get back to this site- I wasn't even sure if it was posted or not) I tried the upper left hand and it takes some time for it to quiet down and get in sync if it does at all. It seems to be a hit or miss - sometimes on the google search page sometimes its okay. It just cut in for one character as I type on here. You may be right about visiting sites that have more resources than this computer can handle but I those that come to mind are ones I have been participating in (like this) for awhile and they are slow to change pages, respond etc. - but not where the cursor and mouse go completely out of sync. I will download the program you suggested. Thank-you.
