    Nothing overly technical about removing a hard drive! Just need a screwdriver.

    If you're in the Sheffield area, perhaps I could do it for you and take the PC off your hands!

    If you haven't bought the new one yet, the slowness problem is fixable, factory restore (takes 10 minutes) it after backing up your data, or post a hijackthis log

    Your choice of AV software may be part of the problem

    Once you get your new PC I'd switch to Chrome for your browser - set up a google account and it syncs your bookmarks to your account and then you don't have to worry about losing them.

    Firefox 4 has "Firefox Sync" built-in, which I presume does exactly the same as Chrome... and there are so many more add-ons for Firefox!
