I have only noticed a continued decline in speed.I have downloaded and run
the 3 anti spyware programmes, cleaned out cookies, temp internet files,
cache startup programmes.
It is a long wait before the windows starting up is displayed and mabe
another 10 mins before I get the 1st desktop icon, then it is a 2 cup of tea
job waiting for the links and another 20 mins before I can click on any of
them.. I could just get another hard drive and reload windows but this would
not stop me getting into the same fix when I feel the answer is looking at me.
regards Alan
