Something has clogged my computer and slowed it down dramatically, aswell as internet.

And for the people who understand geek:

My Computer has 4 Gigs of Ram, 2.20 GHZ Intel Dual Core Proccesor and a 500GB hard drive, so it will take a lot to slow it down, :(

OUCH maybe you had a service running in the background due to malware. How did you fix it? Look up processes or just run a scan?

maybe something to do with a file you downloaded. could be that or check to see if something happened when you were on the internet (if possible). could be a specific site doing this?

[Master Q]

Try doing a restore point to when the prob started. There is also a good program called Ad aware. There is a free personal version just google it. I run that once a week and it never deletes important files and is always up to date. It also has a live watch to so if you are about to install anything that will even do as little as change your homepage, it tells you not to and stops the process.

Never ever go on the internet at McDonalds, unless you're broke...... They are just as bad as those seedy internet cafe's in seedy neighborhoods...
