the one with the faster processor, I have an i7 920 and 4gb of ram, I can't imagine going from 6gb to 8gb making any difference

Thanks, I was leaning that way as well. 6GB is alot as it is.

Anyone know a decent free antivirus program?

MSE

Yea I like MSE for a free solution. Just make sure your copy of Windows is genuine ..lol

Well, i ran the scan, and it got the same result as with windows defender: 1 bad thingy.
So i deleted that and everyhting should be clean again now, and m running the MSE firewall to prevent it from happening again.

just got off the phone with blizzard and they sort of reset my account and i attached a mobile authenticator to it and reset my g-mail password to prevent any further hacking and what not.

Oh is that why it's started bitching about that? Nothing has changed, it just won't update AV definitions. I should probably swap it for something else.

this is what I was trying to post:

So...

I'm gonna need a laptop for uni and haven't been keeping up with what's out there for quite some time now.
Budget is maybe

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

authenticator is a pain in the ass to remove... if you don't play WoW why do you care that much about account security? there's no point in someone stealing your starcraft 2 account, it basically will do no harm whatsoever. authenticators only really exist for serious WoW heads who don't want an account with several thousand hours of their life, several thousand gold and lots of potential real-world £ £ £ at risk.

Yeah i know, but the guy also kept changing my password, preventing me from playing sc2 as well. And even though i dont play WoW any more, i still dont want some sad little douche to acces it from his mums basement.
Typing that little code every time i log in is a small price to pay to prevent getting hacked.

I know that removing the authenticator is a bitch, but so far blizzards customer support has been excellent and i know that for you the biggest issue was sending an ID iirce, but i already had to do that as well for the account reset and it was done in minuts.

Yeah either this laptop fucked up or my internet did.

Got a budget of around 500

E: BRITISH POUNDS WITH THE QUEEN ON THEM AND EVERYTHING.

needs to be for uni so gaming is not a priority, last I checked lenovo were the best on the market but dunno if they'll be in my price range, I can stretch to a bit more for a good deal I suppose.
