Web pages load up very slowly. it's running a intel pentium 4 CPU 1.70GHz 1.69GHz, 768 MB of RAM wierd.

7/3/2010 10:28:02 AM I still have to scan alot each day. It works well for a short time, then back to slow to freeze again. You would think after removing all the bad stuff it would run great, but it does not.
