information being stored from cgi forms

Hi guys:

I apologize if this is not a reasonable question to ask this group, but:

Within the past couple of weeks I've noticed that when I answer questions on
any web based   form (questionnaire, application, etc.) on any web site - it
seems that each time I press the <ENTER> key or <TAB> key or use the down
arrow to go to the next field, it takes much longer to advance to the next
field than it used to.

It's almost like the data that I type in is being stored somewhere on the
hard disk before I can advance to the next field.

This happens in both secure and non-secure forms.

I run my virus checker every day and show to be clean (McAfee and Norton). I
also use ConSeal Firewall and it doesn't report any attempts to send
information from my computer to anyone.

The computer had plenty of ram and hard disk space, so I don't think it's a
hardware problem.

Thanks for your help (and patience in reading this letter).

Bob Johnson
