I don't keep up with windows virus issues and I'm afraid I have very
little sympathy for those who willingly choose to use windows and then
have virus problems. However, it could be that the hard drive is
fragmented but that is also a "windows problem". The drive could also
just be going bad. Backup the files and get ready for a re-install.
I suggest that your wife invest in a windows virus
protection/elimination product and add the price to the cost of dealing
with windows. That kind of thing is a MUST HAVE for any windows user
connected to the internet. Depending on the version of windows, she may
have to also add the price of a disk defragmenting product.
Windows is too expensive at any price.
