    Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. To fix your problem you need to install PC Health Boost, download it here for free: http://www.healthboostpc.com/

    It's very light and it's the only antivirus/cleaner with a 99.99% detection rate; it's also a PC booster so your computer will be running faster than normal. Install it, hit run and problem solved. It shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.

    The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second in the vacuum. The speedo of sound is 340 meters per second. So the speed of light is faster that the speed of sound.

    of cource light, and if u dont believe and want to see it practically some day.. hav u ever seen crackers tht explode in the sky far away from u, in such conditions u see the light first but the sound comes after a while because speed of sound is ver very less as compared to that of light

    Speed of light is faster hence why lightening occurs before thunder.
