in Techie Stuff
I have a Samsung N110 Netbook which runs quite slowly according to my DH.
I normally run Opera but also have Internet Explorer which I use for reading emails as Opera seems to get stuck with hotmail.
I have run Hijack This and saved a log file with no applications running.
Please can you tell me which processes etc I can get rid of and how to get rid of them. I still have Hijack This open and it gives me the option to "fix checked".
Thanks

You've got some adware running, out of date programs, some unnecessary security, and a bit of bloat. All can be fixed easily.
Adobe Reader is out of date - it's the most targetted application for exploits, so I'd uninstall it. You might consider an alternative such as Foxit (don't install the foxit toolbar) or PDF XChange, or Sumatra, etc. If not, Adobe X with its protected mode. If you do reinstall with Adobe, don't let it start up at Windows boot.
I'd uninstall the following: Java (security, and speed), Adaware, Kontiki, Spybot (easiest way to remove the extra components, can reinstall and don't do SDHelper, etc), and Google Toolbar.
iTunes isn't going to make the system happy!I would definitely look into an iTunes alternative. What is iTunes used for on that computer? e.g. Syncing with an ipad? If an Ipod, be specific e.g. ipod touch, classic, nano, etc. I can give further instructions.
In HJT, tick and FIX the following:

You might also be able to disable some of the Samsung software, and if you need it the re-enable the item.
I would do a QUICK scan with Malwarebytes, and use that in place of Spybot for any regular scanning http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php Post the log afterwards, clean anything it finds.
Lastly, use something like Filehippo updater to see what needs updating: http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/0 -
It's probably not a good idea for many people, but if you're vaguely technically-minded you might want to consider trying a different OS instead of Windows. XP performed really poorly on my netbook, but it flies along with Arch Linux.
There are plenty of other threads discussing Linux (do a search if you're interested) and it may well be an un-necessary headache if you're not the kind of person that likes "tweaking and fiddling", but I thought I'd mention it just in case...0 -

I've not used any of the iTunes alternatives, but there are many from a quick google:

Thank you so much for looking at this in such detail.
I uninstalled everything you said part from Kontiki which I couldn't find but did uninstall BBC iplayer and Sky player which I understand might use the application. Then did all of the HJT actions that you said except couldn't do the Paul Smith thing (this was some stupid thing that I downloaded once and have never been able to get rid of). It doesn't start up anymore though as disabled that a while ago. Will have a look at the Samsung software later. This has all definitely sped everything up a huge amount
Itunes is on there so that when we go on holiday my sons ipod touch 1G and my DHs iphone 3GS can be synced if necessary.
I've run Malware Bytes and nothign found. I then ran File Hippo and it tells me that there 13 new updates and 3 beta updates but when I click on the icon I get
404 Error
Sorry the page you requested could not be found.
in the browser window. Am I doing something wrong?

I am vaguely technically minded being a Business Analyst by trade but while my netbook is working, I think that I will stay with Windows
THanks for the advice though. When it breaks next time I will have a look in more detail.

Glad it's helped
For updates, you can try Secunia PSI instead (http://secunia.com/PSISetup.exe). It's a lot more 'bloaty' than File Hippo though. I'm sure you've not done anything wrong though, they might need to update their links or something. Alternatively you can manually update the items by googling for them.
You can use http://demo.kontiki.com/support/KClean.exe to remove Kontiki. Apparently BBC iplayer used to use it. People complained that it would run in the background, sharing their BBC downloads even after they'd quit BBC Iplayer.
With the Paul and whatever thing, if you manually go into the Start Menu, then Programs, and finally 'Startup', you should fine the link in there, and can delete it manually.
If you stay with iTunes, you can uninstall or disable the iTunes 'Bonjour' service - as it's just for sharing files over the network or Apple TV. You'll have to keep the 'Apple Mobile Device Support' due to the iPod Touch & iPhone. The simplest way is to go into Start > Run > MSCONFIG (enter), then click SERVICES, click to 'hide all Microsoft services', then disable the Bonjour service. If you find you need it, you can just re-enable it in the same way.0 -
Couldn't figure out why I kept getting Java messages. Just realised that J2SE is Java so have deleted that as well. Have done all that you suggest now. Much appreciated.There are times when parenthood seems nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you Peter De VriesDebt free by 40 (27/11/2016)0
