I get so tired of "ctrl-alt-delete" when my computer freezes up on me, like five times a day. My buddy, the computer nerd, reminded me that downloading too many cutsie things and free stuff can have that effect.

I had a lot of computer freeze ups when we were on dial up AOL. Thought it would go away when we still used AOL but were on a different company's DSL. Nope, freeze ups continued as usual. Got rid of AOL and got rid of the freeze ups.
You're right...You shouldn't download everything you see. If you have plenty room on your hard drive and plenty space in Memory??? then you should not be having a problem. Many things you need to do,besides an anti-virus and Firewall, such as download Spybot Search and Destroy for Free and eliminate all those who are spying on you and leaving cookies and regestry keys. Fix all cookies but not the Registry until you are familiar with what Registry is all about.
when I'm on A O L chat I and everypne else get these A O L private chat pop ups .Can we stop them ?
There are two things to remember here.
1. You should not download more than 1 program that does the same thing - you end up with conflicts and that can freeze your computer - so only one debugger, one antivirus, one firewall etc. It does not matter if they are free or pay downloads.
2. Only download from reputable sites - www.cnet.com/
Follow these two rules and free downloads will not be a problem.
Many reasons for freeze up. Until you know for certain, what is causing, don't assume. Conflicts can cause freeze ups, as so do other problems. Find a competant computer expert or a computer club in your area and get some good info.
