My computer was running so slow thought she was a goner, however I'm stubborn and I discovered I picked up a nasty spyware that I thought bogging things down. Thought I got rid of it all but the pc still seemed so slow trying to do anything was a waste of time. So I thought my internet days were numbered....Luckily I remembered the system event log in administrative tools and found the nasty little bugger was still lurking as a local32 and repeatedly reporting an error message when it couldn't connect which was the cause of the bogging down. So I found the trouble maker in the registry and delted it.
Okay I'm talking greek to some of you I know and some of you are going duh why didn't you look there sooner - lol
But I was proud of myself that I did not only find it but fix it and my pc is now back to her usual warp speed....the lesson? Never give up....

There seems to be no end to computer woes with all the spyware, viruses and such that lurk in the shadows of Cyberworld. And when the talk turns technical...it is definitely Greek to me!
This is where Macs become your friend. No spyware.
