Which version of Opera are you using? [CTRL+SHIFT+ESC] to get TaskMan, sort it by memory, see what's hogging memory & CPU. |

| 1193076 | 2011-04-09 10:26:00 | and remind me how to check memory . . . . . . . . . [CTRL] +[SHIFT] + [ESC] will open up Task Manager, in one of the tabs it will show you which processes are running and how much memory & CPU they are using . In another tab it'll show how much memory and virtual memory you have . Or right click on My Computer and go to properties, it'll show there . Opera has a tendency to be a memory whore and I suspect it might be what's slowing you down if it's fine after a reboot, but it could be any number of other processes that are running on your system . So it would be nice to have a look in taskman and see what's draining your resources . |

| 1193077 | 2011-04-09 11:15:00 | Hi Beet - dumped Zonealarm years ago because of similar problems. I do use TeaTimer. You know enough not to need ZA, and you know where to come for help. :D Certainly children will innocently download stuff but that's life and you just get rid of it with weekly spyware scans. |
