How the hell do you make a computer run this slow?

well if she defrags and does a manual disk scan on a regular basis maybe you should try a Antivirus you actualy pay for like the offerings from trend micro etc. I have found that they can be alot more thorough and find things other AV programs can miss esp the free ones just dont get norton they suck *****.

It's been my experience that most older people are absolutely terrified of computer "viruses". If they ever see anything that says, "you may have virus", "you're computer may be infected", "download our virus software" they will click on it and download anything they're prompted to download.
A reformat will fix it, it's not really worth the time to even try to figure out and remove all the crap that's in there, IMO.

Nah- get her a Playstation. No worries about viruses, updates, malware, yadda yadda yadda. It's a little hard to type on the tiny keyboard, but it's the best computer you can buy, and will lower your coolant temps and shift your whole compressor map to the right.
