I have recently downloaded some programs to detect spyware, and "Pop-Up
Stopper", and I also ran a program that puts a list of web-sites in the
"restricted sites" section in the IE settings. This has all helped eliminate
most of the pop-ups I was getting, but my connection has gotten really slow
at times recently. Sometimes its fine, but often when I go to click on a
link or scroll down a page, or click on a new window, there is anywhere
between a 5 to 15 second delay before anything happens. I also get a lot of
pausing when I type something online (like this message). I have a cable
modem and the connection speed was fine until about a month ago. Could any
of the above programs I installed be slowing down my connection?
