Hello all,
I seem to have done something very bad to my computer, as loading a page like google takes up to a minute, whereas two days ago I was browsing at very quick speed. I've talked to my isp, and the problem isn't in the line, as it is about 5 mbps, which is fine. I've tried defragmenting, disk cleanup, ad-aware, norton internet security, manual searching and cleaning the results from running 'prefetch'.
I think that the problem started when I downloaded daemontools, which came with a program called ADvantage. I deleted these files, and anything else which looked a bit dodgy. Then I did the firefox pipeline changes, but alas, nothing seems to help!
What have I done to my beloved PC? Any ideas about where to proceed from here?
Thanks a lot,
Niall
