What version of Spybot-Search&Destroy are you running?
What is your Operating System?

How is it slow? In what way? Download speed?
 
the version is 1.6.2 (updated)
windows xp

when you open internet explorer and then type the web site, for example www.google.com. it takes 5 to 6 seconds for the google to appear.
before it was only 2 to 3 seconds.


not really a long slowdown. but i want to be enlighten. if the immunization can cause slowness or not.
 
ok. im going to try the atf cleaner.

am.. my question is it safe to remove the temp files? is it the same as the registry files which i read here, which is dangerous to touch by using registry cleaner.sorry for this question. im not that knowledgable in computer. just know the basics...


you may or not answer this question (btw thanks for your help men ^_^)

Hi BennyZars,

usually, there's no problem with ATF Cleaner. The only thing you maybe will notice is a longer start time of Windows the next time.

-Matt-'s got it :laugh:. Clearing your temp. files= no danger. Registry cleaners=no good.

What browser do you use primarily to access the Internet? MS IE?
May I suggest Mozilla Firefox? Or Google Chrome as alternatives?

I had that problem a few times, but I resolved it by refreshing the page.
How fast the video loads varies depending on your Internet Connection and traffic (how much users are accessing the same content [this doesn't usually affect you]).
 
How did ATF cleaner go? Is your connection still "slow"?
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.7 isn't that bad, and it's guaranteed to be faster than MS IE7 (maybe by a bit).

Can you run a speedtest? Speedtest.net is a simple one.
 
yes its good now. ^_^
all temp files size reach up to 300mb. (thats plenty).

ok im going to try the mozilla.

anyway i just tried the opera.

Hi BennyZars,

you can set Firefox in this way that all temp files will be cleared after closing. Moreover, you should use ATF Cleaner or CCleaner to delete some Windows & Java temp files every 3-5 days.
I'm glad we could help. :)
