[FONT=Geneva][SIZE=7][COLOR=blue]It would be wonderful if someone could help me with this. I have already performed the Hijackthis logs and computer is now clean of :tazz: bad stuff. After cleaning though it is still so completely slow. It was never like this. It takes almost 4 minutes for a page to download, the whole computer freezes too when a page is loading. All you can do is just sit there and wait. Does anyone know of something that can be done. My husband is suggesting the use of a large Hammer. Please help. Thank you in advance.

Download and try this first,
Clean Up
also run scandisk and then defrag.

I would like you to post back letting me know what browser you are using (internet explorer, firefox etc etc) or if you are using an interface provided by your ISP......AOL or Compuserve etc etc

Then if Clean Up, Scandisk, and Defrag do not work to speed you up to crawling(which is fast for dialup ;) ) we can try other methods. Ordinarily this will help you though. :tazz:

Wow, that really helped. All I did was the Cleanup. I tried to run the scandisk and defragmenter, but said it was not neccesary. Didn't know how dirty these little buggers could get. By the way I use the AOL browser. Don't really like IE or NN. Haven't tried Firefox or Opera. Thank you again. JillB. :tazz:

If you are using the AOL browser thats fine. If you want more functionality though try Firefox or Opera. You can download them directly from my signature at the bottom of this post. As for the Clean Up program, I would suggest using it at least once a week, I use it daily on the other hand.
