At least once a week, I go through all of the things listed in the
websites below. I find no evidence of spyware, scumware, virus, or
Trojans.

Someone has suggested I may have a problem with TCP/IP but I don't
know enough about that to fool with it.

I am beginning to believe the problem is with my ISP's server. My wife
uses a totally separate computer with the same ISP and has the same
problem.

Thanks for your help - I'll keep searching.
