    Guys, I brought my old laptop with me on a project in Madrid, and everything is going at a snails pace, IE closing down for no apparent reason, and a general slowness.
    I've gone through all the processes and would be grateful if someone could check my logs out. NB. Super AntiSpyware identified a number of issues, but crashed after I clecked the remove/fix button, and no log was created.

    Thanks. You guys are the Bizz

    While you do have left over malware items hiding in your registry due to using something to control startups (do you know what is being used), the problem you are having is not malware. The problem is that this laptop does not have enough RAM to run Windows XP. It barely has enough to run Windows 98. You only have 64 MB of RAM. You need a minimum of 512 MB and 1 GB is preferred. This is compounded by the fact that the processor speed is really too slow to properly run Windows XP too. It is only 496 Mhz.
