Most Web Accelerators work by redirecting you to a proxy server. The
proxy keeps copies of frequently browsed web pages, and sends them to
your computer in compressed form. This makes your web connection appear
to be faster (actually it doesn't change the speed at all).
If you didn't uninstall the accelerator properly, some of the program's
settings will still be active on your computer. You can often solve this
problem by re-installing the program, then uninstalling it from Control
Panel, Add/Remove programs.
If that doesn't work, repost your question. Be sure to include the name
of your ISP, and the name of the accelerator program. Also include the
version of Windows XP (Home or Pro) that you are using.
