Just recently, my computer started something new...when I am typing, nothing shows on the screen for maybe 10-20 seconds later! It's delaying for some reason? Anybody know why?

Sounds like some type of spyware using resources. I just found Microsoft's Antispyware (beta), it seemed to work good and is easy to use.

Thanks so much Maniago! I use to have Spybot but it came with too many "extras"...was a pain in the butt! I'm going to try your link!

Ahhh...SHOOT!! I'm running Windows 98SE (antique...I know)...this spyware download is for Windows 2000...XP, etc! I'm searching for another download that meets my system requirements.

Okay since you are going to be difficult I have tried the free trial version of Webroot's Spy Sweeper. It is free for 30 days, and works on 98.

Well I ran the Spy Sweeper...thanks Maniago for the link...sorry for being so difficult. 
Amazingly enough..it found 9 sources of Spyware..1 internet highjacker...1 virus and 84 traces of Spyware!! :eek: I ran Spybot just last week and none of this was picked up on! I also ran Norton Anti Virus 3 days ago, and no virus was found.
However...I am still experiencing delayed typing! :( I am going to run a full system maintenance to see if this helps...what else could it be?

You might have some problem with RAM or a memory slot not working well.
If you don't have a firewall yet, install a firewall like zonealarm (http://www.zonelabs.com - there is a free version available) to see if you have unknown programs wanting to connect.

Thanks Olly! I believe it's a memory problem...I need to upgrade! This may sound like a stupid question...bare with me please...but if I install a firewall...will this use more resources than I am already using and further complicate the memory/RAM problem?
