Answer 1

1. Open internet and click tools, delete browsing history, and clear out all of your temporary internet files, cookies.



2. Boot up into safe mode. Press F8 during boot up (means: just keep pressing F8 over and over and over continuoulsy until you get to the safe mode menu). After you get booted up into safe mode, your desktop will, of course, look strange because it's running in safe mode. Run your antiviral scan manually again while in this mode. If you have a virus that's choking your computer, it can sometimes hide itself from your anti viral software. But in safe mode it can't hide.



3. Make sure there's nothing going on with your internet provider. About a month ago my computer suddenly started running slow on the net. It was running like I had some piece of junk modem. I called my provider and found out they were having server problems and wasn't expected to be finished until another week. And then it cleared up. Turned out wasn't anything at all wrong with my PC.
