Thanks to all you learned folk. I found this to be very interesting.

I have tried to maintain a secure pc, but I still encounter slow(er) performance issues. I tried scans and have not found any problems. I will try that Advanced Care 6 mentioned earlier here.

I do know that password protection is utmost important and I was having difficulty coming up with new unique passwords for the many accounts I have and was recently introduced to LastPass. It runs along with your browser somehow and you click an icon to "login" to an account your browser has opened. The passwords are stored "elsewhere" and it auto logs you in. Because you are not using your keyboard to log into an account, the keystroke logger virus can't catch those passwords. LastPass can also auto generate a password for you, the length will show the strength of the password.

I'm sure there is a bunch more about this type of password program that I don't know about, but I would like to hear some opinions.
