IE 6.0 very slow (Score: 0, Offtopic)

(User Info | Send a Message)
I hope you guys can help me. I'm running IE 6.0 on Windows XP SP1 and my web pages are taking forever to load!

IE is slow to open, but the web pages take even longer. I have already deleted my temporary internet files, temp files and everything with disk cleanup. I have already ran scandisk and defrag and it did not make one bit of difference.

All web pages, menu items, pictures, etc are slow to load and this is the only browser I have to test with.

This problem started after I loaded Norton Internet Security. I love the protections, but this program is really a hog!

I just check and my memory utilization is 72% and my swap file utilizatio is 75%. Is it time to add more memory?


Thanks in advance,
Ruthie

Hi!

I have various spyware and trojans stuck in my c:\_restore directory. They are mostly .cab extensions, but a few fall in the emp part of that directory and have other extensions. Of course, Windows has 'outsmarted' me by not allowing manual deletion of files from c:\_restore, and I do not remember my very old DOS language enough to call those files up individually and deal with them outside of Win. I've noticed that those of you more experienced with security matters know how to run a log file, but I have no idea what this is or how to do it. I have become a helpless AOL user, lol. Please, any suggestions and/or solutions that those of you more experinced in these matters could offer would be so very welcome and appreciated! Thank you so much in advance. :o)

Warm Regards,

Beth

Every time I open my Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, my AVG program ALWAYS encounters 2 Trojans:
BackDoor.Small.3.BI
Downloader.Agent.7.E

I have my browser home page set for www.Yahoo.com; but there is something in my
computer that keeps changing it to about:blank

I keep going to internet options and resetting it, but it is always
changed back to about:blank

My nephew says I have a highjacker; and I have downloaded programs to
remove it, BUT, ...you guessed it...it is STILL happening.

So far, I have run on my computer:
Norton
AVG
AdAware SE Personal
SpywareBlaster
SpyBot Search & Destroy
BHODemon
Browser Hijack Recover (BHR)
Tauscan

Some of these programs have found things and deleted them, BUT, the
problem still remains. Every time I open my browser, my AVG reports
the 2 Trojans, Plus, my browser home page settings keep being changed back
to about:blank

Can you offer me any help? Are there any patches for these 2 trojans?
Sincerely,
Barb

Keyboard anomaly. I have just cleaned-out old computer for disposal and reloaded Win.XP incl.SP2.
Now keyboard operates improperly: £ sign appears as #, the buttons either side of @ produce things other than ;:~# and of course, I cannot get @ to define Email addresses.

Suggestions welcome. Of course, I HAVE checked Regional Settings to select English UK. Keyboard is NOT USB but the old connection. Thanks. AnthonyRoger

missing entry:

I also get a dialogue box with a heading of Spyware Report. If I respond yes I think I have been infected with spyware, I receive an ad from Security IGuard to check my system for spyware.

I also have a program listed in my add/remove program properties as Best Search Engine!!! that I can't remove.

Does anyone know how to correct any of the problems?

These are not plugged into the new card they are plugged in to the ps2 ports as originally configured. Any suggestions?
Drivers are supposedly current.
What relation would this card have to these devices?
