Some things have been happening with my PC and if it was only one or two things I’d probably just dismiss them but when I think how many of these things are happening at the same time, it leads me to believe I might have a virus. The problems are: Sometimes when I’m on the web, without warning I’ll get a blue screen and the PC crashes. IE’s not my main browser (Mozilla is) but it won’t let me use the view source option. Whenever I use it…nothing happens. IE also crashes a lot too. My monitor blinks and kind of goes off for a second and then comes back on. Machines slow and it never used to be this slow. Does this sound like a virus or several small problems :h: ---

I got AVG when I got the sasser worm and when I first put it on it found 16 Trojans, 7 Viruses and a whole load of other crap. Since I got it my computer runs way more smoothly. ---

16 Trojans? I thought two was a lot.
