    right computer has a noticeable slow down really high cpu usage according to the little green box in the task bar with three firefox windows open it show 100% usage for a good while I only seen it at this for a few seconds before when running lots of programmes-gaming whilst scanning for viruses etc

    I got great help last time I posted here so Ive come again theres something I have to down load I think

    I havent been using the computer as of late as Ive bought a laptop but my sis has shes been using ie as opposed to me who uses firefox

    ran avg last time as it was slow and found things (java/byteverify) I usually didnt find deleted them and this helped for a small while
    now its back running avg anti-v, adaware and another adware software not finding anything so far

    also in msconfig a lot of things in the services tab are marked stopped, including one marked essential remote procedure call locator?
    there is also a nvcpl file running in start up that looks odd and I tapped it into google and is it a virus?

    the avg has been showing kernal32.dll change for a while
    and recently shell32.dll change, is this of any significance?

    help anyone?
    dont know much about computers but I thought I have been reasonably diligent
    thanks

    Describe your rig. Details? Also operating system? XP? Vista? Mac? If MS, have you kept up with the patches and updates? There were 8 of them from MS (several Vista) that I downloaded 10 June, and one affected IE7. If you don't keep up with MS updates, you could be toast! MS often does not get around to security updates until after a zero day crisis.

    When is the last time you did a disk clean and defrag?
