more than likely your pc is infected, even if you have ant-virus software. for some strange reason there is not one AV program that removes all viruse. spyware and trojans. do a control alt delete , click task manager\performance  ..w/o any programs running at a steady state your pc should be around 0-3 or 4% ..sometimes AV programs that scan in the background can bump it up slightly. My guess is you are up around 40% or higher.

Hello,

First, for people here to be able to help they need some information from you.

What is your system model number?

How much memory do you have?

What version of Windows are you running?

How big is your hard drive, and how much free space is left.

Do you connect by telephone modem, or cable?

Hello,

The out of memory messages do suggest that you add more memory.

It is very important to get the 'Correct' memory, as you can see by reading the memory pages at my web site. I would suggest a total of at least 1 GB of the correct memory.

What antivirus software do you use, and is it updated on a regular basis?

If you feel that you may have a virus, or malware issue, I suggest that you visit this Dell forum and follow the instructions about posting your question.

Thanks for you reply.

My system is a Dell Dimension DIM 2400, Intel R with Pentium R 4 CPU, 2.20 GHz and 256 MB of RAM.  I have Microsoft Windows XP version 2002.  The hard drive is 37.2 GB with 17.2 GB of free space (I just ran a disk cleanup it was worse and I'm defragmenting also).  We have DSL through our phone company.

I think that is everything that you asked for.
