Sorry matey, only just seen this 'cos I'm watching the football at the same time :)

I have Adobe photoshop and reader but, as far as I know, they're not actually running until I open them (or until I put the memory card from my phone in)...

Obviously (and likely) I'm wrong, but who can tell :disturbd:

What antivirus do you use, ive heard that Norton can slow a PC down to rediculous levels.

I cannot comment with any cred, here, because I don't have adsl or norton - all I can say is that using a free service like AVG anti virus, backed up with comodo firewall has worked for me, presumably that would be platform independent?

|MG| Free Download - HijackThis 1.99.1

This is what I mean by a Hijackthis log. If you can run a scan, save a logfile then paste the logfile into a post...

Sorry if this sounds simplistic and you've probably done this already, but have you checked for adware/spyware?
