I don't know how the fuck it happened, but in the last ... well, since the New Year began My Father's desktop has been running extremely slow.  Pages take minutes to load up, and then it either doesn't load or it times out.  Sometimes it tells me the broadband is broken even though I look at the modem next to me and seems fine.  Is it the power box where all the appliances downstairs (the modem, the phone, the heater, et al) are plugged in to?  Or could it be that the fucking desktop's infected?

Pissing me off. ...
