Thank you SO MUCH for your help. I figured out that Limewire had affected my computer, and another board told me to download Avast . I followed each of your steps and my computer seems to be doing much better, and MUCH faster and its not freezing =D. Also, im excited to see the Alt-Ctrl-Delete working again. However, when i do go to exit my IE page, the about
:blank page flashed really fast before closing completley out, and an IE message pops up... It reads "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Etc etc..." Then at the end it gives you the option to either 'Send Error Report' or 'Don't Send'. Do you have any other advice to how I could get rid of this annoying message? Other than that, your help has been MUCHLY appreciated!
