Oops, WinXP

Windows Version?

Windows XP. My issue is that the browser has become very balky about
opening from hyperlinks, in emails specifically. Sometimes is taking
repeated clicks to get it to open.

I've done defrags, complete "Ad-aware" & total virus scan, and disk check.
Still doesn't want to open. Occasionally I'll have to open browser manually
and paste the URL in.

Ad-Aware won't catch everything.

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.
CWShredder is also available here:

Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

Thank you, Frank. I posted my separate "IE won't open..." question before I
had seen this reply of yours. Will take that tack first.
