    this one

    C:\Program Files\BigFix\BigFix.exe

    BigFix can automatically download and read technical support information provided by computer and software manufacturers and other technical support experts (published in the form of Fixlet® Messages) and can automatically check your computer for bugs, configuration conflicts, and security holes. Should only be started manually as it's a resource hog

    and this

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe

    just checks for updates for Realplayer each time you log on, not strictly needed

    Thanks for all the help, I've done the stuff recommended by the hijack this log, done loads of scans so maybe the show.wnd thing was related to my keyboard, everything seems to be working fine ayway.

    Thanks again!
