Well, that could be due to spyware that snuck onto your computer by opening an email attachment or clicking on one of those ads that look like Windows messages such as "click here to scan for viruses", etc. You might be able to correct the problem by buying and installing an anti-spyware program if you don't already have one installed. Webroot SpyCatcher is a good choice. It's available both by download or at Office Depot, CompUSSA, etc. John ---------------------------------------------------- This mailbox protected from junk email by MailFrontier Desktop from MailFrontier, Inc. http://info.mailfrontier.com > -----Original Message----- > From: ggcsquicksig-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:ggcsquicksig-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > zdpinto@xxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 8:34 PM > To: ggcsquicksig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [ggcsquicksig] PC problems > > > For some time I've been having problems with my PC XP, which > started to work very slowly.
