I haven't really had any major problems lately, but my mom has been using the computer more and there are a few things bugging me. AVG Anti-Virus has stopped receiving updates, so I switched to Avast! Now, I'm currently using SpywareBlaster, Avast!, Spybot, and Superantispyware. One of the most annoying things that I've been getting lately is Photoshop freezing, and since I'm a big digital artist trying to fix up my portfolio for college, it's really tedious to have to re-do a few things every time it freezes. I have 1GB of RAM with a duel Pentium 4 3GHz processor and my Photoshop is tweaked to use 60% of my RAM, most of the brushes aren't set to load, and I have changed a few other settings to free up memory. It hasn't been freezing before, not even when I worked on a 100 inch wide painting, so I think something must have changed for this to happen. Also, I have disabled all of the AOL software(as far as I know) from starting up, but the AOL Dialer comes up sometimes when I open Firefox and connect to a site. I removed the old dial-up phone number I used years ago and ended all the processes that start when it pops up, but it still comes back sometimes.

Other than those two problems, I haven't had any others.

Spybot didn't detect anything. Avast! didn't detect anything, but I did get a big list of items that weren't scanned(sbrecovery.ini and .reg). I haven't scanned with superantispyware yet, but is there anything suspicious?
