My Pc when i turn my Pooter on. its seem to run rather slow for alli t has 256ddr ram..... and 99.9 (good tune) of the time i only use it for surfing the web?!? any advice
could be a number of things really mate! download adaware from www.download.com and run a scan - spyware can cause high CPU usage! when you press ctrl+alt+delete, what is the percentage of the CPU being used? if there is something really high....end the process and see what happens - it might be a virus/worm type thing. Also do a virus scan! you will probably find that that will sort it, especially if its only recent.
Use this online free virus scanner. Joey. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp aren't people aware of the dangers yet? the same old subjects keep cropping up time after time! ad-aware - virus software - ad-aware - virus software - ad-aware....etc.....etc....
not all home dial up users or home adsl users are this clued up/lucky enough to have a hardware router.
exactly! Nat use the the virus checker MoS put, there are a few viri that have been kicking about in the last few months which can casue these sort of problems
