Morning Kevin, To answer your questions ... I'm using IE 7, I hadn't updated to the newer version as yet. I am running an anti-virus which scans daily. I have a firewall on the wireless router. I think I will take your suggestion to download Firefox and see if it performs better. Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply.
