Hi, recently my computer has been running extremely slow. I am connected using DSL, however , sometimes when I open the internet, all websites say "cannot find server". Also when I run a program called Cybertrader Pro, I keep getting disconnected. I need a good way to clear up my computer without deleting all my programs and info. I have tried Ad- Aware, Spybot S&D, and CW Shreder. Plz Help.

Go to www.housecall.antivirus.com and do an online virus scan. Also download and install AVG Antivirus from www.grisoft.com and use it regularly. It's free and works well. You also need a firewall running. Try a program called PREVX or Zone Alarm. Good Luck.
