xp very slow

[kenfromnj]

when going from one part of a site to another I have to
hit the up down bar on the right. I then get an
hourglass for five to ten seconds before it switches.
If I dont hit the up down bar the site never changes.

i think the link suggested you use a firewall, not sure. I doubt going there solved anything though

You have spyware or some kind of nastiness in the system. In the unlikely event you have a registry back up, use that, or find some spyware killer and run that. Ad-aware is a start startup mechanic may help (one of my favorites)
Open the running processes (control - alt - delete) and compare them with the listed good vs bad at this link; http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/
