Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Unzip the file on the desktop. Open the MessengerDisable.exe and choose the bottom box - Uninstall Windows Messenger and click Apply.

Exit out of MessengerDisable then delete the two files that were put on the desktop.

- How is the computer running now and why did you start this topic?
- Did you have a malware issue?Hi Evil,

Thanks for your help.

I'm running a small network at home and I've receently had problems on one of the computers.
Super Dave has been helping me out which has been brilliant and we've almost resolved everything.
The log I posted here was for another machine which has also been 'playing up'
I was unsure whether to start a NEW THREAD (seeing as though it is a seperate computer) and I thought this would be best so as not to confuse the two issues.

It seems to be better but it still takes an age to boot up and can be very slow when using.
Is there anything else you can suggest to get it moving faster.

Many thanks

DavidHave you done a defrag lately?Yes, still not that great.
Any other suggestions?
