Question Posted Sunday May 1 2005, 12:39 pm

my computer is practically BRAND NEW. It used to be so fast, not a problem. All the sudden it's been running SO slow. So I did the spybot & adaware search and destroy... fixed that. But now, whenever I'm on the internet and AIM, it disconnects. it signs me offline and the website i'm on stops working. then it'll re connect. this happens like every 5 minutes. what could be the problem? Is it Comcast? (cause that's what i use)

Try re-installing IE or Mozilla or whatever prog you're currently having in use to view web pages.

The spy/ad scanners might have destroyed that function for you while removing some stuff.

If that doesnt work, you have yourself a great problem.

it sounds like you have a virus, if you just downloaded new things on then that might be why.for many computers you cant have the new AIM because it gives viruses. so be careful of what you download

It could be spyware that those programs didn't catch. Run Msconfig and and look for anything suspicious.

Maybe. or if you have a Norton Personal Firewall then you will have to disable it.
