Not responding.
My PC has in the last few days become almost unusable as programmes are just freezing, so I am getting programme not responding continually, then end up having to turn off from the modem. Have XP with Zone Alarm and broadband which is now slower than dial up. I don't know where to look to sort it out, any suggestions please.

maggioneato,
It sure sounds like your comp is full of pests. The link BOAC gave you is a good start.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. If your surfing of the net is so slow now, I would also look to see if you are infected with a virus that launches DoS Attacks from infected computers. (You might be launching DoS Attacks and not even know it. You can tell very quickly by checking your outbound traffic with ZA.)

Thanks folks, believe it or not, PC is running normally up to speed today, I had checked for pests and not found anything, so now I am even more confused, as I hav'nt done anything, and it's running fine, how long for is a different matter.
