Ok, my computer is acting weird.
Nothing crippling, but weird. It's doing a few strange things, that may or may not be related.
My main AIM name won't log in, on any client (I've tried AIM, Trillian, and Digsby). I can, however, get on with my secondary name with no problems.
I cannot log onto AIM.com or AOL.com.
I can't get onto sourceforge.net (attempted to download the offline installer for the Pidgin IM client, in hopes I could log on with that.)
Some sites that require a password to enter run VERY slow, and where Firefox usually remembered the name/password and autofilled it, it does not. It simply hangs on the login page until I manually do it, then takes forever to load. This site, however... no problems.
The password stuff scares me, as I don't want something to be reporting my private login info to some hacker!
I ran Spybot and Malwarebytes. Both found and removed some things, but there is no change after a restart. Avast antivirus is always running, and found nothing. Combofix is my next attempt... but honestly, I can't figure out if it's a virus, or if my computer just sucks!
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing my issues? I don't expect my limited info to lead to much, but who knows... can't hurt to ask! A Google search didn't help me much.
