My four year old laptop is now functioning quite well and I've had no more visits from the Beijing spammer. My email doesn't seem to be compromised any more and I'm not sure which particular action achieved that. I think it might have been a bit of everything, thanks for all your input! :)...

Thanks Strannik but I've already got Trend Micro and it doesn't expire until 2011 so not keen to replace it right now. Plus I bought the Trend Micro because I felt AVG wasn't working for me so I uninstalled it. The laptop is 4 years old now and was getting very slow and freezing up. It wasn't...
