Internet Explorer is very, very slow. It started a few days ago. Takes 1 minute and 45 seconds to bring up explorer with the initial MSN page; 45 seconds plus to bring up google. Initially the pages were available within 2 - 3 secondds. A similar machine beside this main machine with the slowness issue on same network still comes up within 2 - 3 seconds. Machine is an IBM clone running XP Pro.
Additionally, H: drive is available if I cold boot but is unavailable on a warm boot. This is 100% consistant for over 55 test boots over 38 days.
So, I have completed Legendary Viruses, etc. per preliminary removal instructions and have attached the three designated files.
Panda Antirootkit found nothing; all zeros.
I ran AVG Antispyware 3 times. The last time it only found a few items which were found/deleted. The first time there were several items which were deleted, although the report says no action taken I ran it a second time and deleted the files. Unfortunately I did not save a file for the second run which deleted the unwanted items. Nevertheless, the final run shows all unwanted files deleted. All three were test were completed in safe mode without connection to the internet. I had to abort the third test but included the report. I ran a fourth complete test; it takes over 13 hours; It found nothing and unfortunately no report was generated. It is slowly grinding sown.
The machine seems to be running much slower, however I can not quantify that specifically.
Internet using Internet Explorer is running much, much slower on this machine !
Status of Issue: Internet Explorer is as slow or slower after cleaning items. machine is slowing down; H: drive still exhibits same symptoms.
FYI: I have Computer Associates security suite running (antivirus, spywere, firewall, etc.). AND I just put a url in the Address area of Explorer Directory window and it came up within 2 seconds !!! I am confused ???
Your advice and counsel is greatly appreciated; Please help me with the slowness issue.
Thanks for your help.
