OK so it's definitely time to get a new computer. Here's the deal:
My current computer is a Dell Dimension 2350 with an Intel 4 1.80ghz processor. I have 256MB ram. But the computer is infected with a rootkit that has harbored several trojans. I've been told that the only way to get rid of rootkits is to reinstall windows. I don't know where my original CD is.
I play World of Warcraft and the game is slowly becoming unplayable, which I'm guessing is due to only having 256MB ram and all the spyware on my computer. If I don't change something soon I'm going to have to quit playing. But I don't know if it is worth it to buy a whole new computer. Would it be cheaper to buy a new motherboard or something else? I'm really kind of clueless as to what the best (and cheapest - money is a big concern) course of action would be.
How can I get rid of this spyware and improve my gaming experience?
