I've looked into the 'already asked' part, and since I really don't quite understand some of the things that are advised, I'm going to ask my question. Plus I don't think I see anyone with exactly my problem.
My computer was working well, then I started getting a message over on the right bottom (and it would disappear before I could get all the info... and it doesn't show up all the time).
It basically tells me AVG tells me I'm using too much memory, recommending that I shut down and start again. It does the same thing whether I use Explorer or Mozilla, and it also does this on my little netbook.
Also, if I open too many tabs, it'll completely go off line, BUT it will also do it if I just open one tab. It asks if I want to send a report, but since I used to, and never really got any results, I don't anymore. When I go back on line it says I'm sorry, this is embarrassing and restores my tabs, etc. if I want it to.
At first I thought it was Verizon, and called them. Well, their 'techies' must think it's funny to tell people things like "go to the store and tell them you need ROM, not RAM" and "get a new computer." Finally, after calling three times with each of them saying "I don't know why he told you that", one went over my computer, said it's sound, and said it's most probably in the software.
I am not necessarily new at this, and I actually used to be able to fix things, but this is starting to drive me crazy. Plus I guess things are starting to get more advanced for my ability. I have AVG, I have CCleaner and Spybot. I don't want to completely clean my computer, I don't have the disk for Windows XP anymore (I believe somebody swiped them).
The only thing I thought besides AVG, Verizon that were common in both my computers was Skype, and through that I got some sort of GOGAMESXN. So I uninstalled it on my netbook, thinking that may be it, and it didn't help.
I will get off here now, because I will be lucky that I won't go off line sending this. Any one have the same problem?
