protoss_chaos Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Ok, i have had FF forever, so of course i did the update when it came out. Since that tyme I have not been able to use windows update thru IE, not been able to use opera at all, FF takes up about 30-50 megs and the process never dies when FF closes... i have to manually kill it. The longer FF is open, the more my system seems sluggish even tho it is more than good on resources. I ran a Virus scan (latest NOD32 defs) and a spyware scan, and neither found anything. The only other thing that i can think happened is I did just get comcast cable internet, and it may have installed some stuff, but i have no idea where, or even what it would install... Any help, suggestions you could provide would be appreciated. Also, is the new AOL browser any good? Do you need AOL service to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
