Try the pcpistop site and/or the symantec online scan which will test your machine and may provide a few clues as to what's going wrong.

I know it can't be a virus or the firewall because I restored a ghost image from when I first installed a virgin xp a year ago and applied sp2 before even connecting to the net and the freezes happen immediately. For info, I was using sp1a before doing this restore so its not sp related. Been using the default sp1 firewall, zonealarm and now the default sp2 firewall. NO difference in freeze times. How is the modem covered by ntl? When I originally subscribed to broadband I chose the 5 quid a month rental option, which I no believe has been absorbed into the standard charge. So can the modem be replaced by ntl foc?
