I already have ccleaner and have used it (and use it frequently). I just downloaded the uninstaller and am about to run it

I downloaded Google Web Accelerator and eventually within a few days noticed that my system was/seemed slower and slower (even after I cleaned everything....cookies, prefetch, etc.) I uninstalled GWA but it still shows in my firefox extensions as being there but nowhere else (as far as I can tell). My internet speed sometimes goes to a crawl and eventually (this part has happened everyday since) when I open up more than 4 windows, the fourth window hangs and leaves a blank page that I can't close. I then have to use the Task Manager to close Firefox. I don't know what to do....help, please.

How do I increase the "....unscaled receive window" ? By the way, I thank you in advance....for everything.... You may want to take a look at my post about cleaning your computer. I created a batch file that works wonders for me and if you need any help with it, let me know....

I am going to change it now in cablenut to 255552....

Thanks. I appreciate that. I may be overdoing it with spyware paranoia so I actually clean my computer daily with Spybot, Adaware, MS Antispyware, and I also have 2 anti virus programs AVG and Norton Corporate edition.

I ran the following test....from 1) JLab Web100 based Network Diagnostic Tester (NDT) *Which states that ...This connection is receiver limited 85.61% of the time.

...may sound like a stupid question, but how does it do more harm than good? Is it harming my system in any way?

I actually used Google Web Accelerator. But it is caching stuff...

...I apologize to all for my aggresive reply posts. I am having a rough week. I re-cleaned the cache properly and the results were significantly lower. Regardless, I think when we reply to any post, have a bit more consideration, be more polite, and act like you are speaking to someone with respect until they disrespect you. Even then....

Dumb*** number 1 meet Dumber*** number 2. Oh, I mean AMC11890 meet MttFrog13. Why do you 2 even reply to posts when you have nothing positive to write about. There is a way to state what you feel without aggression. I am out of here and don't need this infantile, degrading commentary from the comic factory. ...and forgive me AMC11890 if you were not trying to be a wise*** but re-read your post because it may have come out that way (...and I took it that way). Van Buren is a class act but you other guys have need some class. Good Night and be blessed.
