    Computer speed reduced... I blame gambling

    My laptop has been a very good laptop for the past 3 years, never had any issue with it. Now in the past week, it's probably attacked by viruses since the CPU usage is ALWAYS stuck at 100% and I can barely do anything with my laptop anymore. Laptop's been perfect for 3 years, I joined SBR, Bodog and Covers.com and my laptop went to hell... coincidence maybe.

    But today, with my brand new desktop computer that I bought a month ago that and has no issue, I went to bodog, SBR and Covers to make some selections (since my laptop is broken) and my cpu speed decreased dramatically and I'm now getting multiple spikes on video games.

    Has anyone had issues similar to mine from any of the named websites? Two perfect condition computers attacked in similar ways when I started visiting these sites...

    You should have invested into a mac computer and never worry about problems like these. It's that piece of shit Windows operating system that lets all those viruses into your system.

    Just get some decent anti-virus software. Don't rely on Windows.

    I have Clamwin antivirus and Spybot Search & Destroy...

    I would have a mac if they weren't outrageously overpriced and we compatible with most games

    Porn has not done any damage to my computers in the past 3 years

    The only thing that has changed recently concerning my computer use are Sportsbook/ sportsbook websites

    Maybe it's just a coincidence if none of u has any issue

    Clamwin is probably the reason.Replace it by Avira Antivirus.
    Install CCleaner.

    And if you can get ride of Windows.Install Ubuntu or Linux Mint....
