Loss of resources
I'm having problems with IE slowing down and refusing to find web pages
after about 3 minutes on line also applications running very slow. I have 448 MB of ram and only have AVG anti-virus running in background. I have NTL broadband. At the time of writing this NG email my System Resources are 51% with nothing else running. I have run full scans with AVG, SpySubtract and Spybot. They all say no problems. Does anyone have any ideas please. Thanks Chas |

Chas,
51% free resources whilst not ideal will not cause the problems you are seeing but could well indicate that despite your efforts your PC might nevertheless be harbouring one or more unwanted "guests" (malware). -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Chas wrote: I'm having problems with IE slowing down and refusing to find web pages after about 3 minutes on line also applications running very slow.
