Hello all you good people.
I have a new problem! I installed broadband on my PC and the connection was being cut and my PC automatically shut itself down. I looked into it and it seems like I had a worm or something so I installed a program that removed it.
However, I'm not sure if it worked correctly.
My PC is now so verrrry slow and my CPU is constantly running at 100% which is obviously the reason programs are running in such a slow manner. Anyone know how to sort it? I reckon there must be a bug somewhere but don't know how to fix it!!??!! Bugger!
