Hi everyone! Relatively new to the boards - but have used you guys before when reading other topics as answers I've found using Google, always great advice!
I'm running a 18-month old Dell Inspiron I6400 with a home edition of Microsoft XP (SP2); I've not had problems with it before but in recent months it's begun to slow-up, overheat slightly, and overclock the CPU. I've also noticed that my Task Manager is showing more processes than normal - but not sure if any are malignant. Applications are freezing up and not responding randomly, IE will occasionally go crazy and start opening up dozens upon dozens of tabbed homepages, and the start-up process is very slow.
I run the McAfee security centre constantly, along with Spyware Detector, and perform updates regularly. I also run Ad-Aware frequently.
Any help on this would be great! Really am getting irritated with what is otherwise a good machine
