Dial up is slow enough but my new (to me) computer, when I connect to the internet, is sending way more bytes then its recieving.

It's really slowing my connection down. It doesn't do it all the time but it does piss me off, like I said, my dial up is slow enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Thanks for any help, M.

One word: Spybot

Its free. Look it up on Google.

I'm betting you have about 100 spies running on that computer sending info out.

Thanks Brad!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I was infested! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I'm just zipping along again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dance.gif)

If my 'puter guy wasn't my asshole brother I'd fire him, still might. Dealing with relatives is a royal PITA, even if you do pay them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif)

All is well now, should I get another anti virus program (like Jeff said) or is this good enough? I'll probably give this guy a couple of bucks for saving my ass.
