Spoke to a guy on another forum and said this is to place to get computer sorted - so here is my HijackThis file from this morning. Any suggestions on what needs removing etc. (I use AVG AntiVirus, not Norton)?

well apart from Norton (which you say you do not use) the only item I would not have on my systems is the messenger plus 3.

But it looks like you installed without the sponser programs - so your machine looks clean.

You do need to uninstall the norton stuff if it is not in use. Norton does not like other AV's running, it tend to give problems. AVG on the other hand is normally good with workinf with others - but still always only use on for backgroud processes, use the second only for on demand scanning.

So - if you need to remove Norton - visit norton and use thier uninstall instructions. You may be able to use HJT to remove all those Norton lines.
Cheers for the speedy response - I installed Norton SystemWorks for the SpeedDisk feature, but it does seem to have started the majority of problems I am having! I will remove it now.
Glad we could be of assistance.
