Thanks for the help guys, the computer is running much better now. Superantispyware has removed loads, mainly tracking cookies. Dan :)

Brilliant, just removed a shed load more from there. Lots of very odd looking icons and weather icons (clouds and stuff, very strange!) SUPERAntispyware still running, now with 3 threats. Im off for this evening, but I shall be back with results tommorow. Thanks again guys :)

Thanks for your help guys :) Im always maintaining my PC. I use the defragmenter all the time (been using the Windows version, but I think O&O Defrag is better?), I have just removed all the old restore points, apart from the last one. I thought CCleaner cleared out the temporary files though? I have just downloaded SUPERAntispyware and it's running a scan as we speak, so far found one threat (AVG failed!)

Blimey that was a rapid response! :) I did wonder about AVG actually, I have a scheduled scan every day, and it hasn't picked up anything for months. Maybe I should remove it? I love CCleaner, why is it dangerous? I use both the file and registry cleaner :/ Dan

Hi - im new here, so hello :) Recently my computer (Sony Vaio VGN-NR11S/S) has been running very slowly, and had a few problems with IE too. It randomly decides to "not respond" and closes periodically. I have some tools that I use quite a bit such as CCleaner and AVG to try and keep my PC up to scratch, but it has got the better of me this time. I did used to be a member of another forum online just like this, where they used to ask me to download Hyjackthis and post logs on their forum, but never really seemed to work too well. I would appreciate any advice/help please Dan

Hello..I've just joind today :) What a superb website / forum! Dan
