My computer is extremely slow. There is nothing I can
do. It was slow before re-installtion of Windows Me. I
was hoping reinstalltion will help, but it hasn't. Does
anyone know, how I can resolve this issue.

thanks

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
