About 6 weeks ago IE became really really slow. Youd be typing and only half the letters would appear with one word mixed with the other half of the next.

The download dialogue box takes about 5 minutes to appear and when it does it invariably freezes and stops responding.

Have run Spybot S&D several times and removes a few basic tracking cookies etc but nothings helped. Have reset internet explorer and to no avail.

It has taken me the past hour to download Tweaking Resistry Backup and Run iT

Have managed to download aswMBR and run it - log below

FRST will not download as when the dialogue finally appears and I press "Run" it keeps coming up with the message "FRST.exe couldn't be downloaded.

When I try to save as - I get " This app could not be run on your PC

Have tried this with 32 bit and 64 bit versions - same with both.

Incidentally I am running Windows 10 32 bit on a x64 based processor.

Any help appreciated.
