Hey man, looks like everything is golden! Did a scan no infections.

One last thing. I turned the Firewall back on, and I have Avast running in the background. Now, I am a pretty big gamer, and I play Everquest 2 online a couple hours a day. Is Avast a resource hog?

And I will take your advice and stay away from Mininova, Frostwire, P2P, etc. It has caused me enough issues over the past couple years. And the last few times have been outside of my range of knowledge to repair.

So again thank you very much for your assistance!

Is Avast a resource hog?

No...if you are concerned with resources, take a look at your RAM:

Right click MyComputer then click Properties. On the General tab in the lower right corner is the RAM.

I personally have 1.25 GB's and don't that enough for resource intense gaming.

Thanks for the question and letting me know all is running well, safe surfing
