You know shadow cat, I have to agree with you. There for awhile I was seriously thinking of taking my computor into the shop to see what was wrong with it, until I realised that nasty bogging sensation only happened when I went to certain sites..sites with free stuff on them..stores that offered free things. I don't know whats going on, but I have to tell you, it's got me more than a bit concerned myself. SeaRose
