If you are having speed problems surfing or otherwise - My $.02: Try http://www.download.com and search for "spyware search & destroy" and get version 1.3 or higher (a free download). Might help... Might not... Clear your browser cache - and set it small. If you need help with this, I do what I can to help you: On IE got to tools -> internet options -> General and temporary internet files. Delete files, and use the advanced button to set it small Look for temp files you can get rid of OR move off you machine. Also don't forget to get rid of unused and/or unwanted programs After getting rid of what you can and setting things smaller, NOW do a defrag of your HD. Sometimes Ebay is just plain slow - but that we can't fix. On over zealous anti virus program can be like adding 3 AC compressors to your engine - bogged down. You might have to get another/ faster one. SOMETIMES you can have Internet settings out of sorts, but that is a bigger problem, not the sort of thing I can deal with in a text message. This is where the spyware remover may help. Dunno if this is worth anything to anyone - but this is the kind of stuff I do as part of my real job Thomas L Middlemast ?
