Answer» p.c gone really, really slow when online. Running windows xp with avg/spybot/zone alarm fw.
Task manager shows 100%usage.
I've noticed that iexplore.exe is listed twice.
iexplore.exe cpu=79 mem usage 11,160k
i.explore.exe cpu=00 mem usage= 32,960k

No point in using a firewall if you let everything through.
