Tried that but still have a low download bandwith. I never had a yellow flag for this when running PC Pitsop tests before installation of Optimise.

Try and do a roll back to before you installed the Optimizer.

Then go to the Microsoft site and download their Anti spyware program. Its free.

Here is a link



These Internet optimizers are a bunch of bells and whistles that might work somewhat, but they really get mixed up if there is some spyware running on the system.

Pretty much what these optimizers do, is cache the page you took a minute to download yesterday and save you about 20 seconds when you go to the page today (if it hasn't changed much) so you get most of the cached page from the day before--its already on your machine.

IMHO, these speed optimizers are kink of like a duck wanting to be a swan as far as dial up is concerned

I would still recommend that you install the Microsoft free anti spyware program. You'll find that running both Spybot and Adware don't consider things like the Yahoo tool bar as bad.

I was really impressed at how superior it was to both Spybot and Adware, but their beta is only good for two more months :(
