  How is the computer running?
  

Hi there

Many many thanks for the reply.

The computer isn't running particularly badly. But not as smooth as I'd like either, it's difficult to tell really, sometimes it can crash and things can be 'not responding' but usually it's fine.

I have run the Combo.fix scan. It's been around one hour and 30 minutes now and it seems to be stuck on stage 48? Not sure if this is normal?

Thanks again,

Elis.

[Host Process Randomly playing music]

Hi guys,

I've been having trouble with my computer recently.

I keep getting random music playing through the speakers. In the volume mixer the sound is coming from "Host Process for Windows Services"

To be fair, I'm quite negligent when it comes to computer security. I don't really understand it, but now I'm really worried. Any ideas what I should do?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Elis.
