I have been using windows XP since I bought my laptop(Toshiba).
I had a couple spyware software which I deleted them because just to write a
letter in word I had to wait for letters to show up....very slow
I deleted the temp files,cockies and scaned the system for viruses which
didn't help!!!
what elese can i do?
thanks
