Teresa, I'm working on it! I do have Spyware stuff- Spysweeper, Pest Patrol, and Ad-Aware.
Jessica, yes- I can still email, but since I stopped using Outlook Express, I now use web based mail and this problem makes it very slow.
John, Yes. In order to surf at all, I've been keeping the Task Manager open... and every time I freeze up, I click on ssu.exe and end the process. Trouble is, I have to do that every 12-20 seconds.
Talk about aggravating!
I just discovered that if I shut down Spysweeper, the problem stops. But I feel so vulnerable!
A-Ha: We recently renewed/upgraded the Spysweeper- and that's when the problems started.
Karen & Mikey, Hummm! I will definitely check it out. I am not happy with Spysweeper anymore.
