For RIK who i tried to nab in another post x

Sorry hoster. With working nights I clean forgot about this.

Just had a quick look
Uninstall the ASK toolbar/software

FIX this using hijack
O2 - BHO: (no name) - !!7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

Log looks clean generally. Just some startup programs that probably arnt needed

Personally id uninstall ADAWARE



and install SPYBOT
http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/
(IMMUNISE as well as scan)

CCLEANER
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
Run the top 2 scans every 3 or 4 months

SMART DEFRAG to defrag your drive

Id also install SUPERANTISPYWARE (Similar to malwarebytes ~ good for a backup scan)

UPDATE and SCAN as a precaution

thank you i will print out and work on it in a mo x does it make a difference if there are loads of songs stored?? would that slow the computer down?

it takes ages when I go from page to page, the pages take ages to load up

You should have said that before
Try unstalling zonealarm
And installing PCTOOLS FIREWALL to see if that fixes it

(Make SURE zonealarm has gone before attempting to install pctools)

Mp3s are very unlikely to make a difference unles your hard drives almost full?

My apologies but ive NO way of remembering from one post to the next

ESPECIALLY when "Sorry hoster. With working nights I clean forgot about this."

Let me know how you get on

hostertlady

will do. can i just ask why you suggest i get rid of zone alarm? it was put on my machine when i took it to the shop to get fixed last year.. and to be honest i have no idea why cos i didnt ask for it.. i just assumed the shop thought i need something..

Its the only thing I can think of at the moment that might be effecting your internet
it IS a very good firewall, but the latest updates seem to have made a c*ck of things somewhere along the way

A firewall is to prevent connections to the net when needed (Say a nasty program tried to call outwards)
So possibly could be fixed but that would take a LONG time to sort out, Putting on another firewall will make the job 10 times easier
