I am in your debt, that was very helpful, one last
problem, however, is that IE is still a bit slow. That
Ad-aware found 670 problems, and they were all
quarantined and deleted. Regardless, there is still the
problem of IE being a bit slow. It is faster than it was
before I ran Ad-Aware. But I wish for it to return to
its original speed.

Thank you
