IE and Firefox slowing down
I posted this on the Win XP board too but this may be the better place
I've had this problem on my old computer and now my new one --and have run Adaware, Spybot and using NAV. I'm on comcast cable modem services. When I go into Firefox, generaslly the home page loads fine, I can move between pages easily for a while; after a few minutes, movement is very slow (and/or I get page can't be displayed or not found). I've cleaned out the temp internet files. On my old system I had 512mb RAM, new system 1 gb. On a related issue, I also find myself wondering about changing the cable modem (moto 4100) which is >6 yrs old but seems to have no overt problems and/or the router (netgear 814). I can network w/ my ibook and move around the net well; even on the sites that the desktop says "not found"
I recognize that I may be combining issues, but thoughts, ideas appreciated
thx, alan

When you ran Ad-Aware and Spybot, did they find significant problems to get ride (besides tracking cookies)? Note that Ad-Aware and Spybot, while good and free, do not find all possible spyware and internet parasites. If you found some, then it is highly probable that other are lurking that these programs didn't find. I would suggest that you go Here and follow the directions to download and run the analysis tool called HijackThis. Generate a log file, then open it and copy and paste the text of the log file in a message in the HijackThis forum where a HijackThis expert can offer advice on how to fix the problem.
I don't understand your other issue. Can you provide more detail or a better worded description of what you want to do?
