    have you tried firefox? http://www.getfirefox.com

    I’d also suggest a spyware cleaning with Spybot S&D: http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html

    I suggest the following tools:

    * http://www.ccleaner.com/
    * http://www.defraggler.com/
    * http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html

    PS: The Firefox internet browser is good too!

    Hi crimsonfire,

    While all operating systems should be reinstalled from time-to-time, my experiences as a computer geek have taught me that Microsoft Windows should be reinstalled at least once per year. Otherwise, Windows-based computers tend to irreparably slow down and malfunction.

    That being said, if you’re 100% confident that your computer has not been infected by a virus, malware, trojan, etc, there are two things you can try before reinstalling Windows:

    1. In Windows Vista, go Start Menu (blue ball in lower left portion of screen) => Computer => right-click on your computer’s main hard drive (usually C) => Properties => Tools tab => Error-checking => Check Now => make sure that both checkboxes have checkmarks in them => Start => Schedule disc check => restart your computer and allow the error check to run. Repeat this for all hard drives and “solid state drives” in your computer. The error-checking procedure in Windows XP/2000 is nearly identical to this one.

    2. Backup all of your important files, and then run Microsoft’’s System Restore program. Be sure to choose a restore point that was created before your computer began to malfunction.

    Keep us up-to-date on your progress. Thanks!
