I did noticed some strange performance with Baron 1.50, but I could not figured
out what was causing this abnormal performance. My computer at that moment was
already infected with a virus that was causing all this abnormal slowdown. I
started to run Macfee and my computer told me that some files were mising. When
I tried to copy those mising files from my original Windows XP CD my computer
gave me a diagnostic error saying bad partitions, then the nightmare came to
reality, my computer went blue and it didn't recognized my hardrive. I am using
my second portable computer to report my findinds.

PS: Please disregard the last match, since the settings was correct I thought
that the result should be printed, but internaly my computer was dying slowly.
