    it will be, because your commit charge is twice the installed ram, and you now have multiple antiviruses running and a registry booster, so it will be worse. Did you have a lot going on in chrome when you posted the second log, the commit charge has trebled.


    you missed a few things

    uninstall mse, registry booster, hitmanpro. install cleanmem if you didn't. delete the google update task from c:\windows\tasks



    use IE instead of chrome.


    tick and fix the ctfmons in hijackthis

    if you are using a router, you don't need any adsl software installed.

    use msconfig/startup tab to disable these from startup, run manually if required

    O4 - Global Startup: Windows Search.lnk = C:\Program Files\Windows Desktop Search\WindowsSearch.exe

    reboot, post new log and commit charge, and whether it is any better.

    who is your isp?

    check the price of a ram upgrade www.crucial.com/uk

    You'll need to upgrade your RAM. 500mb (512mb I'm guessing) was enough ten years ago. As software becomes more powerful / complex, the hardware required changes.

    If your RAM is DDR replacing it could be very costly. I'm guessing that it is due to the low amount you have installed. DDR2 and 3 are very cheap.

    Also I'd go with Corsair over Crucial as they are a solid brand and tend to be cheaper.

    256MB is ok for XP, you just have to know how to tweak it ;):)

    With 512 you can have it running pretty well......

    New cc is 192280 with peak of 285376
    Unable to post Hijack as now having to operate from friend's laptop, my modem having died. Log certainly much shorter after doing all "closed" recommended.
    Can't tell if it's much better till I can get back on inet.
    Still have voice activated software and video cam to install so hope I can sort it. Old PC has 1gb RAM would I be able to install that, to up RAM to 1.5gb??
    Thanks LMA

    if the RAM is of the right type, yes. Check crucial's scanner or model finder

    modem has physically died, or connected with speedup changes? A router is a better solution, often free from the isp

    Modem now replaced by free from Plusnet router.
    Improvement but still slows down till I start getting "these page/s are unresponsive" messages along with that Shockwave Flash has crashed.
    Will post new hijack log next.
