ok i dont know whats goin on with my computer, its running super slow on the internet, i have 56k but it used to run extremely fast for 56k. and when i type it doesnt show up for a few secs while im typing. i can hear that inside the computer the cpu or something is running like crazy and every animation on the screen stops while i type . it only does this on the internet, i have run scandisk, disk defragmenter, spy sweeper, and its still doing this, its slowing me down majorly on the internet. its doing this even if i click a part of the page with the mouse.  
im running a pentium 4 with 756 mb of ram and windows XP

any help would be nice

just took my like 20 mins to type this cuz of how slow its going,

virus, well i could be misstaken. Could be alot of adware/spyware. Hurry up and disconnect from the net and reconnection see if its still slow…

DO it like this…  
RESTART  
CONNECT  
and see if its still slow… If it is then I would go with the adware option. Due to your ip is changing since your on a 56k.

is your hard drive continually being accessed? I’ve had PCs with the same symptoms as yours right before the hard drive failed.
