I don't know how it will run now but i've gone into msconfig and stopped C-Media, Loadqm, SchedulingAgent and a couple of others down, (printer and something else.) so at least the computer should run a bit better.

I'm not sure what version of Firefox i have but i got the version that was linked to in a thread here somewhere a couple of days ago, the spread Firefox one. I'm using AMD-K6, i don't think it's celeron, that's a newer version isn't it? As for playing with the settings, all i usually do is disable system restore, i don't know what settings i could play around with apart from internet settings, and when i do that i usually mess something up, i should read up on it more. For instance, i hear about disabling the JVM but also that it can cause problems, so when it's things like that i leave it unless i know what i'm doing, i should find more time to learn about it.

The virus definitions are upto date as far as i know, i checked Ad-Aware and there wasn't anything, i'll check Spybot shortly. Sygate hasn't had any problems with it either, so i'm hoping that with less running processes it helps out a bit. The only way i can check on this that i know of is by clicking on help and then getting the system info up, right now it says that i have 25.02MB of available physical memory, the total is 191.5, so that's possibly where i get my problems from.

As soon as i get on the net the memory just goes, i guess it takes quite a bit to run it.

Also i found Kephyr.com where i can just type in the filename and learn about it so i should be a little wiser for that.

Anyway will let you know if i find out exactly what it was, or come across any crazy virus/spyware that's slowing me down, thanks again for all the help.
