I've also discovered it starts popping up only if I use IE.

Try using Firefox then.

If you really know what your doing, try HijackThis...

But, it's really really risky to do stuff without info from experts, because you could damage your computer...

So maybe if you post a scan log here I'll try and search what's dangerous and what not...

Ok. I use Opera, so it's not a problem. I wouldn't touch IE with a 10 feet long cursor anyway. The thing is that some thing I still can't identify creates files in Temp called win[number].tmp, and they keep growing and respawning. They are awfully tiny, but some of them run as processes and that's kind of annoying. Is there a program that tells which program created a certain file?

My internet goes as slow as possible now .
I keep getting freezes while playing tibia (MMORG game , it just stops for a minute and so ..).
LD4all too goes slow sadblauw

I had 150 mb. space on the comp. to spare , then I deleted some fiels and now have 1,67 GB.(from a disk on total 20 gb.) But it still goes slow as h***

I opened windows process manager (my stranslation might be bad) and discovered that in the moment I write this are 40 - 45 processes running ...

Any wievs on what to do ?

I would love to get help ! smile

hey Petter

You might Have some Adware or Spyware which is making your comp run slower. Try and get rid of Adware and Spyware.

Also Check if you have any virus's if so delete them using programs such as norton anti virus.

Do a Disk Clean up

Do a Disk Defragment (This helps alot)

Also Petter try to delete more things to get more space.

If none of these help then simple things like your desktop can affect the speed. So have a plain black background ( not very intresting but if it helps then who cares)
Oh yeh also if the comp keeps freezing there might be alot of dust inside, so clean it. (its what happend with mine)

All these things can help the speed, tell me how it goes

+2 on the ad/spyware.

You may also want to defrag your disks from time to time, to keep 'em humming properly. Oh wait, that's been mentioned. *slaps forehead* Right. +1 on that then wink5

How do I take away the ad/spyware ?

I did a full system search for virus with norton antivirus this night , no files found .:/

I must delete about 1 more giga to be able to dfrag :/

*Petter goes deleting

For Ad-aware

http://www.safer-networking.org/

For spy-bot.

Both are fairly intuitive in their use, I've found.
