    Google for them.

    CCleaner will delete all manner of accumulated junk and temporary files from your pc.
    Hijackthis will produce a log of your computers registry, if you post the log on this site one of the techie experts will analyse it and tell you how you need to proceed.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    thanks, i have downloaded the ccleaner but am a bit wary of hijackthis as there are many options after i have googled and i dont know which one to go for. and the one i think may be the correct one states that it is only for advanced users
    Nice to save.

    Hijackthis is cuurently on release V2.0.2

    It is safe to use if you scan only ( and save a log file ). The dangerous part is when you slect items for "fixing".

    I suggest you look at http://forums.spybot.info/index.php and post for help on there.

    The Spybot Forums site has a dedicated section with highly trained experts to help you through any malware/virus infection you may have. Read the "BEFORE you POST" thread in the Malware Removal section and follow any instructions given in the precise order they are given.

    IMHO the HJT help you get on here from Browntoa, PCHelpman, Alfonso Skinarelli and others is as good as you'll get anywhere.
