@Andy.
I have run the programme you suggested, not sure if it tells me anything or not.
Here is a PDF version of the report.
Sorry, here is a version with only the parts you mentioned selected.

Try these programs:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/driver-fusion-driver-sweeper/ ;   (checks for outdated drivers - make sure you uncheck the free programs that come with it when installing)
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ (Scans and checks all installed programs for updates)

Re: Shocked slow as snail on my fibre

Sussed it!
It was something called "AMD QUICK STREAM" which was installed when I updated my graphics drivers/software at about the time this problem started.
Seems it prioritises your connection for streaming whether you are steaming or not, it is known to cause issues.
Uninstalled it & all is now ok!

Thanks for help on this & the info is of use for others who might have the same problem.
