Just uninstall Smiley central for a start.

Go Start->Control Panel->Add remove Programs. Pick Smiley Central and uninstall it.

Or are you just looking for an excuse to buy a new computer :p

Or secretly advertising smiley central? :sneaky:

I think that was the image you wanted amongst all the HTTP jibbersish. See the bit highlighted and underlined in blue, click that.

no i have had computer for 3 years and apart from it working really slowly, there is no decent software on it. well not now iv deleted most of it!

and no not advertising smiley central, literally got a pop up and it installed it!

i have been having a quick look on internet, but dont know what spec, memory etc i should be getting. and also they all have different processors:confused:

2 tips.....

Never install things suggested to you as pop ups - unless you want grief (or know how to fix problems)

And buy a Mac. A bit more than a PC but comes with everything you ned out of the box and just works,

New computer ?

Start here http://www.apple.com/uk/

Quite simply they work. No viruses, no bloatware, no slowing down, no crashing and works straight out of the box.

You'll never look back.

Oh for gawd sake! :rolleyes:

Someone asks for advice on a windows pc problem, and all the mac heads come out of the woodwork. Buy a mac! Everything will be better! You won't get pop ups! No annoying malware that will try and hijack your browsing experience! No spam in your email!

Its kinda like the Johovahs witness'.

Yes, I think Apple are nice computers. I can't stand their advocates though.

Please when someone has a problem with a windows PC, don't just say "Buy a Mac".

Rant over:o
