have you tried rebooting your modem? i have to do that sometimes in the office when the speed is slow or dead.
Clean out your cookies and temporary internet files first. Then go to www.download.com and download AdAware and scan your system. That should clean out most spyware if you have any.
Then download Mozilla Firefox and use that as your default browser. Much better and safer than Explorer. Here's the link. Hope this helps.

You should get Spybot too. I run Spybot and then Ad-Aware (or vise-versa), usually one misses something that the other catches. Don't know the Spybot address but Google it, it's free as well.

Yeah Troy, highly recommended as well...and I use both on my company computers as well. The immunization database helps keep out quite a bit. I didn't list it because I didn't want to ramble on with the directions (like I am now). It is also available on www.download.com.

If you can remember when it was running fast, just do a System Restore :idea: ..........( . )( . )..............
