| 662337 | 2008-04-25 00:41:00 | Welcome to Press F1 gemgem: First lets do a clean out, and answer a couple of Questions. What Antivirus do you have on this PC Please ? What are your system Spec's, Mainly amount of RAM, to check right click on My computer/ properties and it will say there. Lets do some housework - so to speak. To clean out the PC, from my sig, download Ccleaner, install and run it, then download Spybot Search and Destroy, Malwarebytes & Spyware Doctor. Install all three, run them and see if the PC is any faster ( should be). Edited: I see Speedy already mentioned Hijack this as well. |

| 662344 | 2008-04-26 12:45:00 | And what sort of computer is it? I have a Dell 9200/XP, and one model of Targus webcam causes it to hang intermittently on startup, for instance, so it could be relevant. | annie (6010) | ||
