After about 4 weeks my computer started playing up with virtual memory problems etc.
Uninstalled spyware doc and the problems gone away just like that.

Not suggesting they put a bug in the program to get you to renew, but it looks like it.

You can run XP Mode on the other versions of 7. One of the many workarounds hereBillyGoat wrote:the reason I ask, is that if you have Win 7 Pro or Ultimate, then you can (easily) use XP Mode. It's virtual machine technology.....and you can download an XP image directly, hassle free.

It means you have a VM (virtual machine) that has it's own VHD (virtual hard disk). You can lock it or copy it if you think you are going to browse somewhere dodgy. It's basically Windows inside Windows - but it can access all of your resources (if you want), including internet, etc.
I do this a LOT for my work - I run virtualised enviroments for testing, Server 2008, XP, Win7 and WindowsPE for demos, troubleshooting and training on site - all from my laptop (it's a Core i7, dual HDDS, 8GB DDR3, etc....).
The nice thing with VMs is that you can set it up EXACTLY how you like it and copy it -(close the VM, copy, paste - done!!). Sooooooo, if you think it's broke or you are going somewhere dodgy or want to open attachements, you can do it - then just close the VM and delete it (then copy your 'master' again....for another spare). Repeat and rinse.
Your machine is WAYYYYYYYY more than capable for this kind of stuff. Wouldn't even notice it was running.
