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
If your using internet Explorer or Netscape 4+, it stores all the information you put in a cgi form except passwords, for later use, most of the time their just put in cookies, try deleting all your cache and cookies and see if itll help
