Here's my suggestion. I to use AVG, but I've found that a program called Trend Micro PC Cillin is a better anti virus program because AVG has a tendency of not finding viruses very well, or not at all. Trend Micro is a program you have to pay for. Its fifty dollars a year, but its better then AVG in my opinion, with more thourough scans and virus detection. Yes it costs, but I think it is well worth it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Agent86b To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 5:10 PM Subject: Re: computer and jaws both very slow Hi, I also have been having similar problems.

For e.g. if I click on a email message it opens but jaws starts reading it after quite some time, but after the message is opened and I do insert down arrow then it starts reading immediately. Jaws starting to read late is not only with outlook express but also with other programs like word etc. On web pages it is much worse. in fact my machine on the whole has become very slow. If I open a program it takes a very long time to open it. I almost fall a sleep HA!HA! From my side I have done the following to correct this problem but no success. 1. Repaired jaws instillation. 2. I use AVG and it is always updated, checked that there is no virus. 3. run disk clean up, disk defragmenter and checked hard disk for errors. 4. manually cleared the temp and internet temp folder. 5.Run Regscrupxp for registry clean up and also run cleaner-free.exe the check on spy. This is really irritating please help. Thanks, Sanjay
