My PC is only 6 months old and running a bit slow. I think it is running slow only when on the net, Im not actually sure. But even back and fwd pages take too long to come up. So here goes;
I have Ad-Aware and Spybot, but am afraid to delete what adaware suggests!
Is it absolutely safe to do so?
Also I downloaded Spykiller, and its list seemed to be more alarming!
Some of the spyware files found included files from Creative Labs. Will deleting these harm the soundcard files?
Anyway, you have to subscribe to this to use the clean/remove facility so I'll leave it for the moment.
So I ran Spybot and heres what I got:
