In case you haven't heard, XP is unsupported now and subject to more and more malware. Your hardware is ancient. It's time to upgrade to something with Windows 7 or 8. I've seen new Windows 8.1 computers for as little as $350.

Good luck.
I am running Win XP Pro, P-IV, 253, two HD's, (one 80G and one 1Terrabyte). Firefox, 1 MG ram. In the last few days my computer has gotten extremely slow, (no real problems prior to this) I have run Housecall and it found nothing. Charter is my internet connection! Any one else having this type of problem?
