My hard drive has gone crazy! John McK 04-19-2006

Today when I logged onto MSN my hard drive started to be accessed and it
hasn't stopped all day. Any time I try to do anything it runs like crazy
(opened an E Mail took two minutes). I am running XP with all updates
installed (includeing SP 2). I also run Norton Internet Security 2006, Spy
Sweeper, Ad Ware, Spy Bot, etc. All are up to date and are run at least
three times a week. When this problem occured I ran all of them and none
reported any problems. I don't know if this is a XP problem or a MSN
problem. I know it started when I logged onto MSN. I know that MSN
downloads files sometimes but this has been going on for several hours. I
use cable internet connection (RR) and it shows 10 mps (normal). Does anyone
have any ideas what is going on? Thanks

Please see response in MSN group. In the meantime you might want to take a
minute to learn about Usenet if you'd like.
