re: IE flutters/flashes, won't work Tuesday, January 11, 2005 at 8:23 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David (3 messages posted) Carol J: Thanks so much for your help. You said: CJ: "I would suggest you reinstall IE 6.0 and run the repair tool...." I did so. Alas, it didn't solve the problem. CJ: "What programs did you use to scan with?" Before your advice, I used Norton Anti-Virus, and a spyware program called "Spyware Doctor" (which is not listed as "suspect" on the link you provided). CJ: "...if you didn't use Ad-Aware or Spybot S&D, you should run one or both of those." I downloaded and used both. They did find and fix additional objects of concern, but this didn't solve the problem. CJ: "Many malwares attach themselves to IE and casue strange problems, and it sounds like a malware infection of some kind. Is this the only problem you're having on your system?" Nothing radical. Sometimes I have to try a couple times to get the system to boot up (it gets hung up and some point in the process, before my desktop appears); and sometimes the system operates very slowly--so that when I type in any application, letters appear one or two per second, much more slowly than I type. Usually this problem occurs when I have two or more applications running (say, wordprocessing and a browser) and it is fixed when I close one of them. Task Manager shows no alien processes, and my start-up list on msconfig shows nothing weird. I suppose I'll phone MicroSoft and pay them $35 to listen to my problems--unless someone has another suggestion?
