    Have you got any antispyware apps m8. You might have lots of spyware etc on your pc. When was the last time you tidied your pc up ? There are lots of progs that will fix your registry defrag your HD and get your pc running better and faster.

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

        Hi mate.

        Is it windows vista or xp?

        Is it any program or is it just online, think thats what we need to fond out first.
        If you go into task manager and under the processes tab, see how many are running and in the bottom of the window is your cpu usage.

        Let me know if cpu is continually hitting the 100% mark or if it never does while doing your usual activities online

                Maddog did you download tuneup utilities from the link i gave. I know you have spyware doctor but this does much more and is worth running. It may help.

                        Right well here goes.

                        open the run dialog box.
                        Type msconfig and hit enter.
                        Once in the stystem configuration screen, goto start up and disable all of them.
                        Reboot.
                        Download firefox browser.
                        See if speeds up then.
                        Also take out the router and put the modem straight into the machine.

                        Let me know how you get on
