Simon Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Your girlfriend is a man, thats the problem. Although Andy is a very matching name for Dave, so go you!To be honest, there looks like a lot of shit there. Get Spy Bot Search and Destroy then get a virus scanner, looks like a lot of shit that shouldn't be there.Although i don't think that would slow it down, more make it do strange things.

Greetings Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'd run msconfig and remove literally 90% of the programs from startup.And of course run Spybot as Simon suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Campbell Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Mine's exactly the same How do you know/find out which ones are safe to get rid of?If you google the process that's running it'll tell you what it is. It's great for finding stuff that shouldn't be there. Tells you if it's spyware/adware virus etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
