I don't put much credence in site advisor at all...I agree that SiteAdvisor does tend to be inaccurate at time.  The site for Free Download Manager, for example, is red-flagged because one of the sites it links in turn links to a site with ADWARE.  And certain sites like DoubleClick are sometimes green.  But it's all still a work in progress.  You will still have to use your own discretion at times when using this program.  Whenever visiting a site that you're not familiar with, it's always a good idea to actually read the reports, as they give you a lot more information to work with.  With that said, perhaps I should start including a disclaimer when suggesting this program.  Thanks for making me think of this.  Heh.

Now, as for this slow computer you speak of...if you want to post a log for it, go right ahead.   No matter how busy it gets here (and thankfully, it's not too busy this weekend), I'm always happy to do what I can.  As with all cases, it won't tell us everything, but I'll see what might stand out.Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1

Thanks Chris!!!


ChrisNothing malicious stands out to me in this log.  You could TRY disabling a few programs, which might decrease lag, but I highly doubt it would change the internet in any way.  From a virus standpoint, all I can suggest is scanning with Avast and AVG, and maybe get Spybot on this computer.  Is the Avast firewall installed on this computer?  If not, what firewall does it have?

As far as I can tell, this computer's speed issues are likely a hardware and/or network issue.Hey there, sorry for late reply it's been a crazy week. Been in A&E twice within seven days
Anyway it has no software firewall on, but however it does have the hardware one provided within our Wireless router. The issue of the wireless is not really something that affects us, because we have the two laptops, but it is something id like to sort, just for the knowledge.
Anyway thanks for everything man.
Your a legend.

ChrisNo problem, Chris, I'm glad to HELP.  I hope you manage to get this issue figured out.
