Your running Norton System Works, Norton AntiVirus, *and* Norton Internet Security? No wonder the machine is "bogged down." I'm surprised it even starts!

What is "Adware Dr [Doctor?]"? If it's "Doctor Adware", see its listing here: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

Bear, Shenan,

Thanks for the replies... because I have not had a lot of problems over the
years (almost 20, and almost 8 with XP) I forgot about the MS version of
backtrack... this seems to have helped greatly....

I took the system to just before the updates were installed...

The system seems to be almost 100% back to normal... I had to do some
tweaking...

(Bear) sorry about the confusion I thought (my lack of thought here) by
including the XP SP3 n the subject line would indicate XP.. BTW it is XP Pro
I am running...

I am currently running ZA (well not yet, I have uninstalled it for the
tweaking of the system) Spy bot, Adware Dr, Norton's SW, and NAV, NIS (all
were updated and ran because of this issue...) that is why it took me a few
days to get here, read and post... As an added note I think I found a
portion of the cause... all of it seems to be due to ZA.

ZA appeared to be in a loop to load up at start up... but would not load,
thus, looping... this loop would slow the system down...

I will be reinstalling the updates but one at a time, and then I will
re-install ZA... I will be observing the results of each install and
reboot...

the only latent effect I am still seeing is the typing issue still... here
in the browser for posting...

Ill keep you posted.

Thanks again..

Matt
