My pc has just started to slow right down and the red busy light is flickering alot. Sounds like its doing something when it isnt. Keep on getting pop ups and the egg timer is alot. any thoughts apart from wiping it again ?
Using f secure and had no virus and ad aware to wipe spy ware. still no joy.

 

Try error checking then defrag the hard drive first if you haven't done it already

 

do you know how to check the msconfig to see whats running in the background ? want to do that but not sure how to. will try error check and derfrag too.

 

Click on start, then run and type msconfig

 

MSconfig might not be the best choice if you dont know what you're doing.

The home of Spybot-S&D!

Download spybot, up date it and run it !! Best free option I'd say !

 

you would need to make sure your security stuff stays on when using msconfig

Guide to Using MSCONFIG

take a look here after running spyware progs as above
