I've seen questions on this topic and have followed the advice to open the tower (Dell) and clean it out to ensure that there's no dust buildup etc. The vents seemed to be kind of blocked so I thought that would do it but no such luck.

Today my computer had a "thermal issue" and shutdown prematurely. Do I need to replace the fan? Is that something that's easy to do? If so, where can I buy a replacement fan? If not, do I go to the Geek Squad or something?

I ran into a problem with some viruses on my computer recently. I've run AVG, AdAware, NortonAntiVirus and Spybot Search and Destroy at different times and the problem seems to have been solved, with the exception of my computer starting up very slowly and then internet explorer taking a while to open when launched.

So today I removed NAV and am currently just running Spybot Search and Destroy. Will that provide me adequate protection going forward or should I consider adding something else - something that won't detract from my pc's performance. I've read good things about AVG and didn't know whether I should put that back on again - or something else.

Thanks!

So is this guy the mayor of the island or simply in charge of all the very useful engines?? Whatever his title is, he is VERY influential on the island of Sodor.....
