    I apologize if this is not a bona fide spyware issue. This afternoon I noticed that my system was started to load web pages a lot slower than normal (I am on a cable connection). I noticed this particularly when I was here. It would load the page about 3/4's of the way and say it was waiting for 127.0.0.1 or www.winguides.com. Now I know that I am 127.0.0.1 (right?) and I went to winguides and that seems like a legitimate site so I am wondering if there might be something stopping their loading that I dont know about.

    I currently have XP Pro with ZoneAlarm Security Suite, Microsoft Antispyware, Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard, and I use Spybot and AdAware religiously. I cleaned my entire system this afternoon after the first occurrence and have not noticed a difference in performance. Different sites lag on different parts trying to be loaded, but nearly every site lags.

    Is this 1.) a possible spyware issue (see attached Hijack This log, I followed all criteria prior to creating it). 2.) is my network or connection degrading for some reason. 3.) I have too much crap protecting my computer and it is interfering with normal operation?

    I appreciate any help. :D

    Please disregard. I set ZoneAlarm to block all ad's, pop-ups, and banners. As you all know, these things abound on all websites. Oh, well. Live and learn and break it, fix it, and break it.
