Many thanks for your help :). I managed to remove the norton and have mcafee at the moment so will look at removing that and choosing one of the others. It's seems faster since clearing all the temp files tho :) thanks again

Hiya, Thanks heaps for your reply - I am clueless :) The MBAM scan took over 4 hours and stated the following; Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Trial) 1.62.0.1300 http://www.malwarebytes.org Database version: v2012.08.27.04 Windows 7 x86 NTFS Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 Zara :: ZARA-PC [administrator] Protection: Enabled 27/08/2012 16:09:09 mbam-log-2012-08-27 (16-09-09).txt Scan type: Full scan (C:\|D:\|) Scan options enabled: Memory | Startup | Registry | File System | Heuristics/Extra | Heuristics/Shuriken | PUP | PUM Scan options disabled: P2P Objects scanned: 397644 Time elapsed: 4 hour(s), 37 minute(s), 59 second(s) Memory Processes Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Folders Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) Files Detected: 0 (No malicious items detected) (end) Is there anything else I can do to speed/clean things up?? Thanks loads in advance Zara :)

Good Evening All :) I am currently running MBAM scan on my lap top and 4 hours later it is still going!!! To avoid any problems with the new PC we have just bought for me to complete my degree I just want to confirm that we are getting the best security for it; We are planning on Microsoft Security Essentials, MBAM and a 3rd party firewall. Is this all we need? We were going to buy kaspersky but having read the threads this seems unnecessary. As the PC is brand new we don't want to slow it down with lots of software. Any clarity for an absolute techno phobe is greatly appreciated :) Thanks lots!! Zara :)

The TFC download took around 30 minutes and deleted 1923.00 mb I'm guessing this in itself may may my computer run faster, but I will still do the malware thing too :)

Hey all, Please may someone help me? My year old netbook is running INCREDIBLY slow :( - internet pages take forever and opening files takes ages too. I have no idea where to start? I don't know how to begin to clean it up or find out what is wrong. I am going to run the malwarebytes and post what that tells me but i would really really appreciate some help. I also have an old Norton trial that I have been unable to delete. Even just typing this message has taken forever as the computer constantly freezes. I am not technically minded in the slightest. Many, many thanks in advance for any help. zara :)
