    hay, was taking a look at task manager earlier and i noticed something i haven't before it came up in Google as a worm, but AVG doesn't flicker an eye lash at it can anyone confirm it its a worm or not and if it is how to remove (its in my System32 folder, and i don't like poking around in there)

    massive thanks in advance

    edit: just to expand a little, i have noticed my PC being exceptionally slow of late.

    Try cleaning some of the crap from your system/startups
    i can see a few item i disable once installed

    realsched
    jucheck
    etc

    i use Microsoft Autorun
    go to the login section and untick a few things

    or try using ccleaner to give your system a good clean up.
    defrag?

    I took AVG off my system as i felt it was becoming a bit of a hog.
    Now use Microsoft Essentials - works well and you don't even know its there.
