Probably pointless in me asking this.....

c cleaner and slim cleaner are free  malware bytes if you dont have it is worth getting as well

SpeedUpMyPC.....Uninstalled.....Plus all the little bits that I could find that didn't get removed.
Uninstaller, my bottom !

Free CC Cleaner downloaded and run.....That found 3/4 of a Gb of poop.
Thanks for all the help chaps.
More downloading to do later then.

Not sure if your using Firefox or Chrome or whatever but it might be worth checking to see that all your drivers are up to date

On C Cleaner there is a registry cleaner as well though all it does is delete obselete entries, but can clean out old installer extensions etc ( I only mention this as it took me about 4 months to notice it when I first installed it)

Thanks Steve.

It's 'Chrome' now...I'll have a check a bit later.

Just to say, that I think this old PC has realized that it's at the last chance saloon, now.....Since I uninstalled SpeedUpMyPC and replaced it with CCCleaner, it's running SO much better.....But that doesn't alter the fact that it will be replaced in a few weeks time. ........Huzzah !!!

You could give the old computer to an organisation like these guys

Just remove and destroy the hard drive before you do. They can then put another hard drive in

I love this old machine.

Don't know what made me spot it last night...But I noticed that Norton had 'switched itself off'.
Presumably something I'd done a few days ago when I uninstalled that SpeedUpMyPC prog.

Better switch it back on again, thought I.
Every time I tried.... It ran for a while and then crashed...The whole PC, I mean.

I had some poor soul at Norton playing with the machine remotely, for about about 3 hours late last night.
He appears to have taken out the old Norton Progs....and downloaded everything back again.....
And tweaked the new Norton progs (I think)

It all seems to work again......But I bet e'mails take forever to come through as they did previously. (They've been coming in at light-speed for the last few days.)
Just over three weeks 'til we get the new machine.....I can't wait ! 
If I disappear between now and the beginning of October.....You'll know the reason why.
