slow Start

[Paul Neale]

Good day all:
Two things: I have some programs, (yahoo, msn, net nanny and XP blocker)
starting up when I boot up and my system is running really slow. I've
looked through my folders to see what programs I can delete to try and get
the system to run better, but I'm at a lost as to what to delete. I see a
folder called Broadjump that's 13Mb and I do not know what it is. How can I
remove the programs from starting up and does anyone know what that
Broadjump is?

My niece tried to get on the Internet today and the system just hung up. I
also tried for 30 minutes and the screen just hung there. When I looked in
the details of the error message in referenced some type of 'dump.' How can
I rectify her problem as well.

Thanx!

Paul

Broadband is likely a parasite program. You need to do some cleaning up. Here is some information for help with this.
