I've got a virus. Google and yahoo are running slow. Surprisingly this place runs o.k. Scrubbed w/ CC and restored till the cows came home but still no luck. What can I do?
 
I always open Process Explorer (free) to see what's taking up the CPU, and kill it or at least suspend it to find out if that helps.
Had FireFox do that several times.....up to 90% CPU, had to close it all down and re-open it.
FaceBook seems to be the worst culprit, slowing it all down, followed closely by ANY Yahoo group. I do believe they are mining for data, and when they run up against Ghostery, ABP, and such on my confuser, they loop.
I'd rather have that than let Zook have at my data.
 
I think your siggy sums it up.......
 
Ah.
Won't download or won't open?

You have SpyBot on the desktop?
 
What browser are you using?
 
Won't open, not that I know of.

JP, IE.


I had Kelly bring home her laptop from the studio and it's doing the same thing.

We have AT$T high speed internet.
 
"Network outage in your area" which I guess is better than problems with my box.

If Kelly has the same problem it's not the computer. do you have some type of modem? is there a firewall or compatibility issue?
