    Netstat shows the tcp/ip protocol statistics. However did your friend tell you which ....never mind.
    When you state "stopped playing videos ths week" which videos ? From a DVD, youtube ?? are you using Windows?? what are you using to watch the videos ?? too little information I am afraid.

    Download and install CCleaner. Run Cleaner and choose to Permanently Delete.

    Download, install, update and run a Full Scan with Malwarebytes' AntiMalware. When complete, choose 'Remove Selected' if there is anything to remove and Reboot your computer.

    After restart, open the program again and go to 'Logs'. Double click on the log produced for today and post the contents here.

    Hi I am usung windows 7. The command i was told to give was netstat spacebar -a
    the videos are ones off you tube/ just songs really and the odd tutorial for guitar lessons.
    I have now installed Avast anti virus (just the free one off here)



    I have just ran he following as suggested
    Download and install CCleaner. Run Cleaner and choose to Permanently Delete.
    which I managed to do but the second one .... Download, install, update and run a Full Scan with Malwarebytes' AntiMalware. When complete, choose 'Remove Selected' if there is anything to remove and Reboot your computer.

    I was unable to install as my computer would not let me it said it was a currupt file.

    I have ran the command on the net stat again and it still has all the messages as yesterday.

    If you need anymore info just let me know but please give instructions on how to do it as I probably wont know how to thanks.

    Do you allow the file to fully download to your computer before attempting installation?

    If so, try;

    If you are running a 32 bit OS, download and save Hitman Pro to your Desktop(or USB drive if necessary).

    For 64bit OSes, click here

    Once saved, hold down the Ctrl key situated on the left of the keyboard whilst double clicking on the Hitman Pro .exe file in order to start the program. Then follow the simple instructions.

    Here is a video guide.

    netstat shows the network statistics of your computer at a fairly low and detailed level.
