Outook 2003 slow responding

I have searched for an answer but I still am having problems with my Outlook and I am not sure what else to do.

The problem is that it is slow dang slow doing everything. If I clck on a msg, it's slow, changing folders it is slow and I often get Outlook not responding and I am going crazy. I have a program called ENDIT ALL and shut down everything and this has fixed the problem, but doesn't help knowing what was slowing it down.

My plugins are as follows.

1. AVAST
2. SPAM BULLY

I have had these in the past with no problems but how do I figure out what is interfering with it?

Thanks for the help and hope the following is helpful.

Greetings, jray9242 !

EndIt All closes down all background programs.  A background program is interfering with Outlook.  Close down one program running in background at a time to find out which one is causing the problem.  Antivirus?

Best wishes!

Sorry about that. I think I found it it the other day. I believe the bad boy is Spy Sweeper. I was doing what was reccomended and it took time. Since I have closed it down, things seem to be better. I have gone back to MS Defender for now which is ashame because Spy Sweeper is a great product.

I don't want to close it yet but will most likey by the end of the weekend.

Thanks again all!

Jim
