OK, I took the computer back to the person I got it from-remember it 
is a Dell PIII w/WinXP.  the last problem I had was that it was taking 
minutes between pages.  I had taken it to my ISP to remove a dialler 
virus and it was supposedly clean.  I believe my ISP-I have been with 
them for 10 years and they have always been straight with me.  I 
finally decided to get the guy who sold it to me to do a clean install 
for me (I didn't have the OS disks)because I had programs on it that 
really weren't compatible with XP and I think I just confused the darn 
thing.  I figured a clean install would give me a point to start over 
from and the fellow I got it from agreed that the incompatible 
programs would slow the unit down. He calls me today to say that my HD 
is corrupted.  I must have had a more serious virus cause the 2 HD 
drives are toast.  I constantly run AdAware, Spybot and AVG. What are 
the odds that it worked fine with this serious virus until he started 
a clean install?  He said he "flashed the bios" and that is how he 
came to this.  What does that mean?
