Hi,
Win2000 (sp4 IE 6.0), 128 ram, Celeron 480, 10MB hard (5
MB free space), don't have a firewall
LAN internet.
Computer is getting very slow on the internet wiht cable,
then it's slowing on all programms, looks like a memory
leak or a virus.
Didn't find any different applications, but only system's
in Task manager. Nothing is running through "msconfig" at
startup, but Norton antivirus.
Many times was running Norton adn mCafee, but noithing
found. The problem is about two month old.
Any suggestion? thank you very much
 
Bar none, the most effective way to improve performance is to reformat
your hdd, and reinstall. Al though, there certian good reasons to avoid
this..... :)

I note, though that you don't need BOTH norton, and mcafee, these both run
in the background, and keep your computer virus free. You take a
performance hit for this protection, Choose your favorite antivirus, and
uninstall the others.

I hope you meant Gigabyte, insted of Megabyte, for your hard drive.
 
The Celeron 480 has me puzzled also. No such animal. Unless it was
'clocked, and that opens a different can of worms.
