I just reformatted my computer (upgraded a model) and low and behold within 4 days the speed was getting slower and also freezing was happening when switching windows. I ran ad aware twice last night found some stuff but the performance did not improve. Downloaded spy bot search and destroy it found some major spy ware. this took about 30 minutes to run. Then another 30 minutes to (fix) my comp. ( I hate XP HEHE)
All seems fine now
