The browser has speeded up and the fan has quietened down since I got rid of just about everything optional in the Startup tab using msconfig. However it does take a long time to load up everything when I switch the computer on, and there are 36 processes running before I've even launched any programmes. I suspect the Superantispyware software might be slowing the startup so I'll untick that box too.
How do I find out if any of the processes in Task Manager are ones I don't need/shouldn't have? And if any of them are not useful, how do I get rid of them?
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
