Thanks for the reply Richard. My experience with anti virus programs
is that you don’t want to run more than one at a time. Most of that
came with my experience with Windows 2000. Maybe Vista is different.
If my machine is back to behaving itself, should I wait for this problem
to show up again before taking additional precautions?

CCleaner is something I have been running every evening before
down my machine. It finds plenty of cookies and some registry
problems, especially after a software update or install.

Is this program going to run simultaneously with my AVG antivirus?
I take it from your reply that you don’t think Comcast has anything
to do with this odd behavior, or that my modem is acting up?
