My PC is very slow tonight...it takes ages to open links etc. What is causing this and how can I get it to improve. I have done a disk cleanup ang got rid of temp internet files. I keep on getting a pop up about spyware programs. Is there maybe spy programs downloaded on my PC??? and how do I get rid of them safely.

Many Thanks

Three things essential.....

1. Firewall
2. Virus Checker
3. Spyware Remover

All three are available for free if you just search around. Such as AVG Anti-Virus and Ad-Aware SE-Personal for spyware etc.....
