This morning (much to my better judgement) I upgraded from IE 5.5 to 6.0 because an anti virus program I wanted to download said it was required. I stayed with 5.5 because of the many hair-pulling posts when 6.0 was first provided. I did a search here but gave up when my eyes glazed over. I am NOT running HiJackThis which seems to be the problem with others who complained of a much slower computer after upgrading.
I am running 98SE, 256Mb ram, latest upgrade for Zone Alarm (upgraded just this morning), CoolWebSearch, SpyWareGuard, AVG version 7.0.3, AdAware SE, SpyBot, SpyWareBlaster -- all running latest versions. I also have GoBack installed and may have to resort to it saving my butt again. Wouldn't be the first or twentieth time it has come to the rescue. Comments or suggestions will be rewarded with a double Jack Daniel's on the rocks (yeah, right).
