I have since removed Microsoft Antispyware Beta (CPU ran at 100% for about 10 mins after with no other Apps running so i restarted computer and was ok) and a few other programs and it seems a little better. I was thinking of getting a new hard drive and transfering everything over just incase is craps itself. Is it possible to do this? I`m really a novice on computers so don`t really know how to copy/burn/backup stuff. A new problem exsists now where i cannot download and install Microsoft Updates that were just released. I think it has something to do with Zonealarm Security Suite`s firewall. So that`s were i`m at at the moment so if you`re able to assist any further please do, i would very greatfull. You can (or anyone else) contact me via email or at [EMAIL PROTECTED] on MSN.
