My lad has an Acer Aspire 6530 with Vista Home Premium.

Up until recently it has performed flawlessly, but now, for some reason is on a go slow. By this, I mean all processes seem to take ages and for him, the most annoying thing is that when he goes onto youtube any video he watches keeps stuttering and stopping. I've played the sample videos which are pre loaded onto the machine and even these behave in the same way.

I've run the virus scan (Kapersky 2010), tried restoring it and deleted cookies etc, but I'm still none the wiser and it still goes slow.

Any help would be gratefully received.

I would try downloading Spybot search and destroy and Superantispyware run both of these and see how much rubbish is on it.

Kaspersky 2010 will slow the pc down loads when it keeps running and obviously it wasn't running this a couple of years ago. Why not just reinstall windows and it will sort the pc out.

Thanks people. I tried all the above and have resorted to reinstalling Windows.
I wonder how long it will be before it needs doing again??
