Within the last week my computer in general was slowing down. Briefly, my
IE was slow and would not allow me to type in a url and go that page, but I
could select a favorite and get to other web pages. I performed a Disk
Clean-up, and now IE seems to work OK. But when opening My Computer, the
flashlight searches for about two minutes before opening the file list.
I ran msconfig, disabled everything and still had the problem. I also ran
AdAware and run AVG Virus scan daily. About the time the slowdown began,
AVG found three viruses but indicated it deleted them. The next day it
found three viruses in a restore folder and deleted them. Since then, it
has found no viruses.
Other strange behavior is that AOL Instant messenger once popped-up
suddenly.
I'm running XP, with Service Pack 2 and IE 6.0.
