Re: Benchmarking speed

Thanks, Mike. FYI, I run SPYBOT frequently, and it almost always finds just the same three nuisances that I wish I could find a way to
block. I also have Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Beta running....

I have been using Norton NSW and its predecessors for as long
as NU was available, and they are truly a royal pain, not to
use but to install and keep working without maddening error
messages. But they've kept me virus and worm-free for so many
years, I hate to dump them. And getting instructions from them
always leads to pages and pages of print-outs and in many cases
incorrect as well as inadequate instructions. But the inertia
of scrubbing them off and replacing them is mighty hard to
look forward to.

I'll try the rest of your advice.....and thanks again.

Have you run any anti-spyware?.. SpyBot, Adaware, SpywareBlaster?.. if you haven't, do it now.. you might also want to run Ewido's online scan..

http://www.ewido.net/en/ .. it is abeta scan, and there is a warning with it, but I have had no problems running it on mine or any of my client computers..

Do yourself another favour and dump Norton Utilities.. regardless of claims made by Symantec, NU is a scourge..

Benchmarking will serve no useful purpose..
