Hi all just found this great forum, you certainly have a lot of very clever people here I must say, a little about me, I am a 45yr old gas engineer who loves computers, I like internet marketing etc, the problems I have are as follows, slow computer, if its on for a long time without use it locks up and since last week, when I press a any key sometimes I will get Launching Email Come Up and a new browser open? Please Help, I have Kaspersky I thought that would stop all this grief.

Thanks Dave

Hi and thanks for the list of things to try, I still have problems though, I have got all the logs requested and no viruses were found with scan,
So please help,

Dave

Here is my log thanks Dave
LOG REMOVED please post your log in the "MALWARE FORUM

There are unnecessary processes running on your computer. Probably thats why it is slow. Kaspersky is a very good antivirus when updated. Make sure U perform a full system scan. About the processes or services, go to this site http://www.clankiller.com/tech/WinXP/servicestweaks.php

And when U want that password not to come up again, go to Control panel -- Appearance and themes -- Display. Select the screen saver tab. Then uncheck ("On resume password protect") and save changes! U r done. The short cut is right click the desktop and go to properties. U will go straight to the display properties. Then screen saver tab. Uncheck ("On resume password protect") and save changes! I hope thats helpful

FYI this is the introductions forum. There is no support offered in this forum.
Daverm please start the instructions in post #2 and post the requested logs in that forum.

Ron, he may not follow your instructions... Daverm last posted in this thread in November 2008
