System performance

[Bruce Goodwin]

Within the last couple of weeks my XP system performance
has gotten terrible: system response time, internet
response time, etc. Seemingly, commensurate with that I
have been getting spontaneous screens advertising 'Memory
Blaster'. This screen does an analysis and says my
performance is poor: internet, memory, everything. This
seems to be more than a coincidence as my system was fine
prior to the advent of the Memory Blaster ads. Any
thoughts regarding Memory Blaster or performance problems
in general?
