    Hi, over the last day my computer has started acting really weird. Firstly mozilla firefox has crashed and when I use explorer the pages do not load up properly. I thought it was my connection at first but this is fine. Two things are popping up on my screen. One is that I am running very low on disc space but I don't know how to free up space. I tried removing some programmes but the message still pops up. The other thing which I think mite be the cause of the problems is a prgramme called 'MyWebSearch' which is malware. However I cannot seem to revome this either. Has anybody got any tips, would much appreciate it.
    Thanks
