    This machine is so riddled that I can't even rebuild it. Can't wait to get the good machine working again.
    My old one has a 20 gig drive and I can only use 5 gig due to the crap. Non of the other drives are working so I just live with till I get the parts later this week to fix my machine.

    Sounds like CCleaner would be right up your alley then!
    Download CCleaner from here:
    CCleaner
    Untick the 'Add CCleaner Yahoo! Toolbar and use CCleaner from within IE' box during installation.
    Do NOT use the 'Applications' or 'Issues' tabs unless you are an expert user.

    CCleaner installs yahoo toolbar by default, so it is a trojan installing cleanup program..

    give me a break.....

    read the yahoo terms and conditions and work out for yourself just how much info you will be sending their way.... unless you dig down several pages and turnoff and decline their access...

    Thats what is annoying me at the moment half the adds poping up are for anti spy ware programs. I will not pay for their software as I consider it a virus since it has self installed already and hijacks some links. I have just got rnd to updating windows on this machine so some of the probs might improve.

    I look at this thread and shake my head in wonder. I have no spyware, no adware, no viruses, no trojans, no antivirus, no anti-malware, no trouble - I simply do not run any form of Windows and use a few simple precautions like a firewall and restrictions on Java and HTML.

    I've been using CCleaner for ~18months without problems and wasn't aware the Yahoo toolbar was packaged with it in current versions. I've edited the earlier post to reflect that.
    CCleaner is still a very powerful and useful tool particularly for people who are running short on disc space - and, so long as you untick the yahoo! toolbar box when installing it, there is no spyware associated with it.

    Following up from yesterday, I loaded Ewido and scanned this morning, found ninety six medium threats, one low and one high, consequently all gone for now. Thanks again.
