    http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/

    Panda Activescan - probably the best online virus / trojan scanner in my opinion.

    You're just as likely to have Adware or spyware if its your computer slowing down and redirecting you and doin some dodgy stuff.

    Google Spyware Doctor and give it a go(its free with limited features)

    It seems to be stoping me getting onto the internet (broadband)about 50% of the time.

    I will give those sites a go and see what I come up with.

    thanks for the links, wanted to check this for my PC but keep forgetting, so will do it now. PC running very slow and only a few weeks old so staring to worry!

    If its only a few weeks old, then I suspect that you havent updated Windows.

    I know this is of a computers question but seeing as i replied hered will reply again! I used the pandascan link that was posted here and it found 52 viruses on whole computer that it then disinfected!

    Is this normal and there is some anti-trust virus software that I installed when got PC, I also installed a microsoft XP security update pack posted put to me and everything running much faster now, but just wondering if thats an unusual amount of viruses given that there's meant to be some type of anti virus software there??
