captain and our other lovely members.

download spypot (search and destroy)

its free......... when downloaded... click update and select whatever country (does not have to be uk)  

great program to get rid of carp

My brother used to build PC's too, he built mine. He uses Team Viewer whenever things are wrong at my end.  What a wonderful application that is.

I'm not downloading anything I'm not familiar with without checking with him first  as thats how I piddled up my PC in the first place:_|

nice one streety......... off to have a look at team viewer

heres some more tips for you all.......

should work on most computers...... im running windows 7

go to start......... type in msconfig........ double click.... and un-tick everything apart from your anti-virus........ i use AVG free....... and Spybot also free(but you dont need to have this running in the background......so un-tick this too)

I have Kaspersky now. Ruthless anti-virus, not much gets through that.
