    Cookies are neither a threat, nor do they slow down a system (EDIT: As above).

    SuperAntispyware has these services/drivers running which are taking up your limited resources - Your choice to keep it:
    R1 SASDIFSV;SASDIFSV;c:\program files\superantispyware\sasdifsv.sys [2011-7-22 12880]
    R1 SASKUTIL;SASKUTIL;c:\program files\superantispyware\SASKUTIL.SYS [2011-7-12 67664]
    R2 !SASCORE;SAS Core Service;c:\program files\superantispyware\SASCore.exe [2012-7-11 116608]

    RE: Combofix - Do you see the qoobox folder? Post the contents of ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt

    o2 assistant isn't a "must have" (click the link in my previous post), but again it's up to you if you want to keep it. It installs these services which look to be disabled anyway.
    S4 sprtsvc_O2DA;SupportSoft Sprocket Service (O2DA);c:\program files\o2 assistant\bin\sprtsvc.exe [2011-9-15 206120]

    Do I just delete the 'EXE files from the o2 Assistant folder?

    (o2 assistant doesn't show up in add/remove programs), or delete the whole ' MY o2' as listed in the Add/remove, section'?

    The Qoobox quarantine folder has got no usable text file anywhere. I suspect it might be corrupt.

    I think that I might have stopped those superantispyware services that you mention. I 'll reboot in a mo and run DDS again and have a peruse.

    And.

    A resounding YES Waddler and THANKS for your help and everyone elses input & suggestions.

    A bit lumpy but certainly quicker. :)

    If o2 assistant isn't listed in add/remove I would leave it be - as I said, those services are disabled.

    Point of interest, these are what were just removed.

    My system is slightly better now.

    HI Closed.

    Commit charge is 350M/1054M

    22 processes running (Two tabs were open)

    Close one tab and it drops to 259M

    It drops to 154M when Firefox closes (20 Processes then)

    I thought that some of these are for harnessing info and sending it back, somewhere, in turn hogging a few valuable resources.

    I know that they dont actually cause harm, as such.

    you can set firefox etc to block third party cookies, and delete cookies, and can use ghostery to block tracking in the first place.

    if you aren't planning upgrading the ram (niftydigits will probably find you a good price), installing cleanmem (see speedup sticky) might help reduce the commit and speed things up.
