I noticed Internet Explorer going extremely slowly. I didn't think much of it. I just thought that my luck with IE had finally run out and I had to get another browser. I downloaded Google Chrome, and it would run well for 5 minutes, and then both browsers would crash (after checking both). I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but got the same result. I also tried the same thing with Firefox. Same result.
Now, I can't copy and paste from the internet to my Microsoft Works Word Processor without it crashing.
I've been running Avast and Ccleaner, but nothing's being picked up. When the internet/browsers stop working, I notice that my ZoneAlarm Firewall is showing that there's traffic going out, but nothing coming in (at least that's what I'm interpretting).
What am I missing? Is it an unknown virus? A trojan? Something else? Please help if you have any idea of what's going on.
