hi Bebs
Have you tried using ccleaner to give it a clean out
again its free and very reliable
it might also be worth looking at your startups
a lot of things run that arent neccessary

Thank you, I will give that a go too

Gets confusing if you mix threads, better in a new one. Run a full scan and fix anything found before closing, the thing it found is not a biggie. Post a hijackthis log in the new thread.

The registry is a list of computer settings
