My problems began about 3 weeks ago. I suspect it has something to do with the new version of McAffee security system I downloaded and installed, but I cannot prove it. Yet.
I experience a TREMENDOUS slowdown when online and my CPU usage jumps to 100% and stays there as soon as I get online.
I think maybe the new McAffee security system is designed for Vista, and as I am running Windows XP, it is causing problems for me. I hope this isn't the case, but I think it might be.
Recent anti-virus and anti-spyware scans, using McAffee and AdAware have found nothing except tracking cookies. Spybot found two other things, which I don't know what they are, so I was hesitant to quarantine them. I will post more detailed info later.
I'll finish the initial cleaning process and then report back, detailing as much as I can. Thanks for the advice.
Wayne
