Problem solved!!
I just reinstalled Tune-up and whalha..it works now!
I did find and issue from looking at the services like you suggested and
found some strange programme running. I googled it and found it to be
spyware, this was slowing down my computer big-time. I disabled it then did
the uninstall as suggested and now my computer seems twice as fast...
Thank you very much for your input. Without it I probably wouldn't have
found the spyware, Ad-aware, Avast pro and spybot didn't find it so I didn't
know it was there.
again, thank you
Cheers
Paul
