Excellent post.. More inormation we don't need! The only thing that stood out was that you said you 'once' got rid of all your spyware ect... I'm sure your aware that the user needs to run such scans frequently to ensure your free of bugs. Also I'll repeat what I wrote above that I'm sure this is a 'software' conflict. Perhaps I and others like me, who don't suffer from this problem, are running slightly different software...? I mentioned 'Spybot' only as an example of some software that users have claimed problems with.
