MG Saved the day!

Hello, I'm new to this website. I was surfing the web to find a solution to my computer problem. My internet explorer was running at 90-100% cpu usage and it was taking 20 minutes to load... anything. I am so glad that I stumbled on this website. The problem I had is apparently a pretty common problem and there is a massive load of suggestions and possible solutions that would not work in my case. I spent a good 24 hours working on my pc, trying different things to make it run better and fix my problem, but nothing worked, and when your computer is going as slow as mine was, it gets very frustrating to press on and keep trying. I almost broke down and brought it to a computer store... which I know would have costed me a hefty wadd. I went through all of the computer maintanance suggestions that Major Attitude posted. It took a long time to get through the list since my computer was running so slow. I did the list for windows XP. As soon as I finished running ComboFix which I believe was the 3rd program on the list, my computer was not only back up to speed, but now it's faster than it was before I had my problem. I don't attribute all of this to ComboFix, but I believe that it was mostly due to that program that my computer is up and running again.
Anyway... I just wanted to give a big thanks to you guys, you probably saved me alot of money, and prevented me from messing around with files I shouldn't . I felt I had to make a post and thank you because I am so incredably relieved! It's always nice to be appreciated !
Thanks Again,
