I've got it bad this time. My internet browsing is absolutely crawling, but with a twist. For example, it takes forever to get to ARFCOM, but once I'm here, I can go from forum to forum fairly quickly. After I leave for another site however, I sit and wait, and invariably have to hit the refresh button to get the page to load.
I'm currently using Windows XP Home Edition and IE 6. I regularly run Spybot, Ad-Aware, AVG, just added the new Windows Defender, and am even trying the trial version of Trojan Hunter. I don't have all of these active at once, but will run them, reboot, re-scan for results, then run another. Same results all the time: they'll show something was detected and then removed, but when I go back online, it's the same story. I tried turning off system restore to run them, and then following the previously mentioned process, but I still have the same results. Is it time to just buy something like Spy Sweeper?
