Something is seriously wrong with my PC, can anyone help?
Mr Putter:
I'd recommend checking for spyware too, but really if you've found trojans it's a pretty good idea to reformat. I try to do it every 6 months to a year - it only takes a few hours and it's good to just clear out all the crap you've accumulated and forgotten about.
See if you can convince someone to lend you their iPod/Hard disk, then you can dump all your media and important stuff onto it and get it back once you've reformatted.
shrimp:
I'd also recommend, once you've got it sorted, that you then run a spyware removal programme at least once a week, more if you visit lots of "dodgy sites". :)
Good luck and I hope you get it sorted soon!
Super Dave:
Yes, try defrag.
Also, if you're running Windows, go to the microsoft website and get their anti-spyware program. It's by FAR the best Anti- spyware program out there for FREE!

Man, get a second hard drive for all your legal DVDs. my media drive is a 150gig and I've used 75 of them on music, video, comics and install files, and if my windows gets messed up I can quick-format and reinstall without fear of losing anything.
Tedd:
Have you tried increasing your paging memory file? the default windows one is 256-768mb which is like Mike Tyson fighting a small child with soiled pants. Try all of the above tips and then increase it from 1000-2000mb.
