I'm sending this message from work. Yesterday I noticed my home computer was running very slow. I got into Mudchat a couple of times but was immediately doored, and although I could load Mudcat I couldn't open any threads - looked like it was so slow that it timed out. I can load Yahoo, but I can't get into my e-mails. I have run Spybot and Ad-Aware, defragged and cleaned the disk, gotten rid of cookies and temp files but it hasn't helped. My anti-virus has expired and I will have to sort that out when I get home. Anybody have any ideas as to what this could be? I was thinking spyware slowing everything down but Spybot didn't help. Yahoo Messenger does seem to work fine - no slowdown there!
