Have been having problems with rediculously slow internet access from home. Downloaded Adaware and Spybot & ran them (in that order) - now it flies along just like new. They are great - assuming you have a compatible operating system.
Spybot downloaded & installed with no great delay - dunno what's wrong with yours Liz! Is it OK now?
Nemesis - I hope your system is sorted soon. Sounds like hell! - I found alcohol quite a useful tonic when wrestling with my machine, though had a small amount of chocolate grudgingly spared from Om's easter egg. AND getting rid of Omlit for an hour or two... Enthusiastic 13yr old "in yer face" is not conducive to concentration.
