Hi bonezz777,
 
I edited your post to show the link to your own specific topic over in the Virus and Spyware removal forum so that the log files could be examined by a potential responder to help them see what was going on with your machine ( The link you provided in your opening post was to the Virus and Spyware removal forum in general and not to your own particular topic within it)
 
I hope this clarifies my edit.
 
The Edit  "split off from a different thread -Z." was made by an experienced and trusted technician called Ztruker, who renders valuable and informative technical assistance and guidance to folks on the forums and it seems likely that your post may have been posted into an existing thread and he probably moved it here where it would receive more attention from a wider audience.
 
I hope that this clarifies his edit
 
I would have liked to offer some suggestions that might have helped with the issues you are experiencing, but at the moment I am still trying to figure out how you managed to get an old Win XP computer using a dialup internet connection to open practically any website as you say in about 3 seconds... and as to it being able to watch you tube videos on it............ I am in awe...
 
Here's hoping that someone somewhere will be able to offer you some good suggestions.
 
I appreciate that your computer is a desktop model, but Is there any chance that you can take your computer to a location where you can access a fast broadband connection by plugging  into an etherport port on a router and see if this type of connection improves the performance dramatically.... if you can do that, perhaps at a chums house? it would be diagnostically quite significant.
 
Regards
paws

Hello Paws, Thank You for clarifying that, I get confused easily; As for my old xp, I could watch a 4 minute video but it would take about a hour to down load, and that was with download accelerator, once downloaded,it would play nicely; As far as just surfing the net, it was quite zippy; Now as far as knowing any chums/friends, well my Wife & I are very antisocial, we are hermits, I guess now that we're older and not too good of health, we live 30 minutes from any town. So I guess we will limp along with f5 being my new old chum....Smile... Thanks to all You fine folks & this site for helping people who really cant take it to a shop...Tim
