[New (to Me) Laptop- Eudora, Opera, Ie Issues]

Thanks for the welcome, and the info, alsocom.

I had played around a little with the Microsoft Anti Spyware and I think I may have deleted the data transfer that was going on. (I did this before I received your reply, and I thought that when a program was blocked it could be reestablished, but it doesn't appear to be the case)

I folllowed the directions, and so far, so good. Here is the new log-

[New (to Me) Laptop- Eudora, Opera, Ie Issues]

I keep getting the "Updates Loading" Icon, and have had issues with getting pages to load. (It took 20min to register and post here) It seems that if I disconnect and redial, I can get a few minutes before I'm not able to get pages to load again, both on IE and Opera. (the buffer message is when I try to check messages in Eudora)

I just got this laptop from a friend, and I'm admittedly bumbling around here trying to resolve the issues. (I had a lot of spyware originally, but Spybot, Ad-Aware and webRoot's Spysweeper come up clean on scans now) I also seem to notice there is much more random data transfer when I'm online than I have with my desktop. (I'm just listing all of what I perceive as "symptoms"- I have no idea whether any of them mean anything)

Anywho, the log-
