Explorer has performed an illegal operation

[Mark]

Hi,

I'm having problems with my Explorer 6.0. I have recently
downloaded the new updated versioin from the Internet and
I keep ancountering 2 problems.

1 - Explorer had caused an illiegal operation - shut down
2 - The Internet is extremely slow. I type, I received
delayed reactions. In other words, once I finish typing a
word, then the letters start appearing one by one at a
turtle's pace.

Can you advise what I can do to fix this problem?

Thank you,
Mark

Mark,
The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).
