If you've only been running your brand new gateway for a week or two and even with Norton running, there were 32 problem files found in the scan, you need to ask yourself what you've doing that is allowing these problem sites to find their way in.
Did you add any new programs or download any files from the internet recently? (Generally, not a good idea to download any file unless you trust the provider)
Have you responded to any emails that look like they came from Gateway, Intel, Microsoft, Windows Security etc where they asked you for any type of confidential information or asked you to pay a fee in order to protect your computer in any way. (These might be phishing emails -- sometimes hard to detect -- but be very careful about responding.)
Your computer is just not old enough to be running slow. If you can take it back to the Gateway provider, ask them to check it out for you.
You didn't say what type of internet connection you have.
Is the pc working slow only with internet access? Or is it also slow when you aren't connected with the internet?
Yeah the computer only runs slow with the internet...i have att uverse... i do remember getting a fee
Emails but i didn't have anything that i needed to reply to. I also signed up with 3 websites but they were all protected sites. Also last night i ran a unaware
virus and scan...my computer is completely clean.. so only thing i can think of is to call att and see if it's something on their end. I also restored my computer still nothing.
