Are you letting Alice surf the net?

Seriously, if I may summarize a few points.

Run msconfig. This will allow you to take care of your messenger auto startup and you may see some other things you're not aware of. If you really want to remove Yahoo messenger completly go to Add/Remove programs and remove it. Trying to delete the directory etc can be problematic, because there are possibly registry settings pointing to it and you will get start up problems.

Run task manager. You can see what is using the CPU and that may suprise you. Be careful of indiscriminately stopping tasks and deleting exe's etc. Some of that stuff is real.

adaware and spybot are very similar. The consensus seems to be that they are very complementary and running both can be beneficial.

I'm not familiar with XP's built in firewall, but I believe an inexpensive hardware hub/firewall is the best investment you can make. If you ever run a logging firewall - either hardware or software - it is unreal the constant hammering on the network looking for holes. It's like a constant stream of people running through your tractor lot looking for open gas caps to throw in sugar - or matches.

I have been using and developing for PC's for 23 1/2 years of their 24 1/2 years of existence. I am very lax about anti virus (I downloaded and ran AVG last night when you posted your problem and that was only the second time I ran an anti virus on this machine). Have a totally different attitude in a work network situation. I don't like positioning myself as an expert, because I don't spend a lot of time trouble shooting any more.

I will add that jumping in presuming to help "The Cowman" was very intimidating :)

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
