I was viciously attacked by a Trojan "Win32/Skeeyah.A!rfn". Attack after attack, almost one per minute. My anti-virus and anti-malware programs worked like mad dogs to keep them quarantined until I could remove the threat.

Back to the usual high speed performance now.

Odd that chrome wasn't affected, but Firefox is now faster than Chrome.

Thanks.
