After shutting down and restarting per Bandit advice I note "Norton antivirus detection is out of date and turned off"

Is this a factor?

probably no..

[cem_devecioglu]

you could well have a virus in that case

[cem_devecioglu]

even if there's a virus my money is on ie broken registry..viruses or trojans rarely slow down a pc to that extent..I passed similiar paths many time..

No, the licence is good for another 200 days

Let the Norton stay then..if you play up with it, will bring other problems..

Ok. Firefox downloading as we speak.

Not sure Firefox is any better - I just got this message

I also need some plug ins for other sites, so I'll play around and let you know how it's going tomorrow.

Thanks guys

I,m sorry but this isnt help as such but... I dumped Winblows 4 years ago for Linux,I have never looked back.

From my experience helping others with clogged up xp and vista installs,the so called 'Free' Norton was a big factor in the Equation.
All I do is remove all the personal data on to a usb hard drive and strip the OS back to a bare install-then install Clamav.
The next step is to convince the user to set up a user account and stop using the bloody thing as Administrator all the time!
The only time you should log in as Admin is to do updates or install some new software etc.

apart from the known speed issue caused by norton, is the pc speed ok when not web browsing?  Does it take a long time to boot (the time from when you enter your password, the screen goes blankish, till the time the desktop is up, and all icons are present)?

download advanced windows care from http://www.iobit.com/beta.html
once installed click the big blue care button, also in settings set pc to top performance to get best out of it

Sounds like u got something nasty on there which is nicking bandwidth - changing browser unlikely to help if thats the case.

Try and get hold of Hijack this and run - save output as log file.

If u pm me then & email log file 2 me I may be able to identify issue and help.

Errm. I responded earlier with 'uninstall SpyBot', did you do it? The latest version of SpyBot installs a resident program which checks the content of everything 'web related' that you do. Try it, I take it you've got the original in your Download folder.
