Good job on running the programs :) Though Limeshop is used by Gnutella networks, some people still consider it as spyware, because of its ability to send user information. Its up to you if you wish to remove it or not.

When you've finished with all that, you can also squeeze a bit more performance from that old system by the following:

Unless Jennifer actually USES those extra keyboard buttons (most people don't!) you can uninstall 'Easy Access Button Support' from Add/Remove programs. The keyboard would operate as a standard one, with the 'extra keys' disabled, an a small performance improvement gained.

You can also uninstall 'Service Centre' and 'Compaq Diagnostics' for a performance enhancement as well. These are unecessary, and have been since the Warranty period on the PC expired.

They are only small gains, but every little bit helps on an older system.

commented: Thank you for your suggestions and support. +4

you could probably get more performance by getting more RAM into that computer and purchasing a new CPU celerons are incredibly slow, a 1.8Ghz celereon is like 800Mhz p4

I am apart of a large family in a small community. Many of my family have moderately old computers, which they use to maintain contact with each other and friends. A virus here spreads quickly within the community to those who have little to no computer training. Many individuals live on fixed or lower incomes so this service is a great and needed value.

It is my goal to help educate by teaching safe computer practices and passing along the tools that help to keep their systems up to date and protected. I provide assistance free of charge because it feels good to help people I care about to maintain an independence and connection, which without may otherwise be inaccessible.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated by us all.

I will apply the suggested fix and repost the HJT log.
