My OS: WinXP SP2
Service: McLeodUSA
Advertised Speed: They didn't advertise anything at all. So I didn't fill anything out when I
was asked the same question on the tweak test. Oh also I didn't know
what to put for connection so I just left it as normal. Q's like winpoet etc.

-There are no protocols installed under my LAN connection properties
-Nothing is checked here: Internet Explorer>>tools>>internet options>>connections>>LAN
settings. [FYI I use Firefox as default]
-Modem or Router (not sure it says Netopia though) is connected through Ethernet cord.
-I run scans for spyware about 3 times a week using Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy.
I shield myself with Spyware Blaster atleast I think. I am not sure if it is supposed to be running
all the time or just a thing you just have work with your explorer her and there.
-WinXP SP2 Firewall is which firewall I am using but I think I might re-install ZoneAlarm which I
had a while back.
-I scan about once a week with AVG Anti-Virus
-Up to date with Windows Updates
-Used CCleaner once before but didn't really care for it.
~~~Okay I wasn't sure if I was supposed to post ALL of that information. But if any of
you think you have an idea of ways to help me that would be great!
