    Sounds to me like you may have something NASTY on your computer

    What firewall and anti virus do you have?

    Download MALWAREBYTES
    http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
    UPDATE and QUICK SCAN

    I already have that and I do a full scan once a week.

    You see when I open a browser up, after a few minutes the page sticks, a box crops up saying "Safari has stopped working" windows then solves the problem, I close the box and then I have to restart the browser from the desktop. This happens with Firefox too and I cannot even get IE page up.

    I'm trying to look for a good computer help forum with people who will know what I mean and can help me. :confused:

    Did a Ccleaner and my computer runs faster now, did the Hijackthis and this is my log file, no boxes were checked with a red x :confused:

    At the moment touch wood, firefox and safari have not closed stopped working, fingers crossed though.

    I still cannot get into Internet Explorer though :confused:

    ok
    Theres all sorts amiss here! Zango is one of them! (And would account for the browers not working)
    download SPYBOT ~
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
    UPDATE, IMMUNISE and SCAN

    You use mcaffee ~ its c*ap. We can change that if you want?

    Roxyo loads on startup (by the looks of things)
    Do you use it? I would suggest either uninstalling it, or just disabling it at startup
    same with jukebox
    and cyberlinks POWER DVD

    Yes i analyzed it and the Zango ones had a red cross on it, it said it was nasty, so i've fixed them ones. I'll do a spypot and adware then i'll re scan with hijackthis again.

    I cannot thank you enough :beer:
