Soooo Sssssllllloooooowwww!
Help from the resident experts please!
Today (W2000 SP4, 512mb memory, Zone Alarm, 12hrly update cycle for virus prog) was like walking through syrup. My machine crawled. Broadband took 3 minutes to connect and web pages changed v slowly.
I WAS (better now!) showing constant 100% CPU useage. Now it is running normally and only occasionally going to 100%. I have run Trend House Call, Spybot and Adaware - and nothing significant, nor were there any obviously erratic processes running. I have changed nothing lately. ZA is still blocking a load of incoming, however.
If anyone knows what I should be trying to track down in the machine I would be most grateful.
