This is the new log file after doing what you said to do. Basically the only thing that seems wrong is a pop-up box appears when opening up pretty much every web page saying "For instant access please click yes", and my pop-up blocker says it is from Dataline Ltd.
Hey, i have deleted the files you told me to and it has seemingly worked! The pop-up box hasnt come up at all and my computer is running much faster than before. Thankyou very very much for your help, its a great relief.
Thanks again, Tomo
