When my Limewire or Ares, or Utorrent running, my internet is so much slower. These programs are running fine (download speeds and such are fine), but when I load up websites, they take forever to load, even when these programs aren't downloading anything

Is there a way to fix this? I run Cogeco Security Services Firewall and its on Normal setting.

I am looking for a wireless card on eBay. I noticed that they all have different numbers/letters behind them. Do all wireless cards work the same (provided you buy the right one for your pc) or are some faster than others? If so...which ones are fast?

It does sometimes, but not others. I use the same Dynex cds, but it's like it just chooses when to recognize them. It keeps saying that the drive is in use or enter a blank disc.

I ran spybot and found 149 "problems". Some of them definitely are problems that I need to delete, like "advertising.com" but I have no idea what others are. If I fix all the problems, could I potentially mess up my computer by deleting something I need? How do I know?

Is it because of virus?
Are there any other browser I can download for free?

Hi folks, I have a research project to perform and I have to 'invent' a device that can fit on my wrist. I'd like to use the below referenced flexible LCD from HP, but cannot any information on it since 2005... Does anyone have knowlegde of newer sources (I know Sony have developed similar, as well as Gummi) because I'd like to specifically use this one due to it's awesome properties (e.g. display retention while powered off) and size... I need information with technical information and such.

Cheers :o)
