699669 2008-08-23 06:11:00 How much RAM does it have?

What model is it's CPU?

Download Aida 32 (majorgeeks.com), extract it to a folder and run Aida32.exe if you don't know the answers off-hand to the above :)

Also post a HiJackThis (www.download.com)log.

But you can tick this entry then tick fix checked

Close browsers

Are you on dialup or broadband??

If broadband, I would uninstall all versions of Sun Java, then update it. Link is below

699677 2008-08-23 07:30:00 hm........personally I wasn't aware of those issues could you point me towards some definitive analysis please as I know quite a few people who run it and have usually encouraged this. If indeed I have been in error I'd like to rectify that. drcspy (146)
