I am having trouble with IE running slow. Get alot of Page not found and have to click it 2-3 times to get pages to load. I was thinking of downloading Firefox, but not sure if that is the problem. If its the explorer. Any help would be appreciated.. ty Gayle

Try IE and see if you can get online and if everything seems to be working properly.

Hi..it's safe to delete those files..
Are you running up to date Spyware programs??
Ad-aware..Spybot..links below..
D/load..check for up-dates..scan..remove all that Ad-Aware finds..all those in Red in Spybot..

Gayle, As blues_harp28 stated, you are deleting the files, NOT the folders. If they say they are System Files, DON'T delete them. You may have some other problems that are not evident at this time as I never get a warning that "cookies" are system files.

ty..... i am downloading the ewido now. I recently instatted AVG. and did a scan. It found a trojan and put it in the virus vault. I will also run this scan and see what it may find. I did do the deleting you mentioned. Page not found isnt coming up right now. Ill keep my fingers crossed and hope it dont happen again. ty.

FILES, WHEN YOU CLICK ON DELETE FILES A POP UP BOX WILL OPEN,
WHEN IT OPENS CHECK DELETE ALL OFFLINE CONTENT THEN CLICK
OK
(5) NEXT, IN THE SAME CENTER SECTION CLICK ON DELETE COOKIES
ANOTHER POP UP WILL APPEAR SAYING DELETE ALL COOKIES IN THE
TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES FOLDER? CLICK OK
(6) ON THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THAT SAME SCREEN YOU WILL SEE
CLEAR HISTORY, CLICK ON CLEAR HISTORY AND A DIALOGUE WILL

CLICK ON START AND LET IT UPDATE

SOME PEOPLE SUGGEST THAT EWIDO BE RUN IN THE "SAFE" MODE BUT JUST FOR A GENERAL CLEANUP I RUN IT IN THE NORMAL MODE

IF YOU WANT TO RUN IT IN THE "SAFE" MODE, REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER AT POST KEEP TAPPING THE F8 KEY AND CHOOSE SAFE MODE. AFTER THE COMPUTER BOOTS IN THE "SAFE" MODE YOU CAN RUN THE PROGRAM

EITHER WAY, LET EWIDO DELETE EVERYTHING IT FINDS.

THIS IS JUST A QUICK GENERAL CLEANUP TRY IT AND SEE IF THE MACHINE IS OPERATING BETTER

It's the temp files you want to delete..Not the folders themselves..
Delete all listed unless you get a message...saying they are system files..
