Damn computer!!!

My computer has been for the last week crashing (or at least that's what I think it is ) I'm pretty sure that I have enough memory...just last week I had 70 percent of my 256 memory used. I've cleaned out all the programs and documents that are not being used. But yet something simple as opening two windows of my Mozilla browser cause a black screen telling gem to check my memory. Does anyone know what the problem may be? Also my flash player has suddenly just stop working? I'm so god damn fed up with this thing I've only had it for a year!!!!

Download ad-aware from lavasoft (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/). It's a spyware removal tool and the personal version is free. Install it, update it BEFORE you do the scan, then tell it to do a deep scan. Run it and remove any spyware it finds. In addition have you defragmented your system lately? Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter. Try these things out.

I would try a couple of things before doing anything drastic. First, a program called Ad-Aware (made by lavasoft). it'll find spyware and such so you can delete it. Second, run a virus scan. I would go for a free one on a website. It'll download the most recent files and scan your computer that way. I would recommend trendmicro (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/). They have a rather decent free one.

I hope this helps. Other than those two things, I really dont know what to say except maybe check your microsoft updates.
