My pc for some wonderfull unkown reason is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
When I start the pc normally it will load everything really fast, now is really slow. My connection is also very slow.

Now firefox is not working properly and what is doing is giving me a constant freeze and in top of the screen it says mozila firefox not responding. WTF is with that?

The other day I was not able to log into the internet, I was able to see that ACTUALLY a button for me to log into the internet was disable, that actually I did not disable.
It does not matter what conection I have public library, starbucks, my house they all are giving me ver slow response.
Also the yahoo log in is giving a mark question in the corner saying that is not a autentical yahoo site.
I have run norton,spyboot,cc cleaner and they all come that everything is clean and good.

Also I have been having trouble using spyboot and other aplications because it said that it need it administrator permission!! my pc has only one user and was created me/administrator meaning always me as adminitrator now it says only me!!

I have run hijack this but that piece of crap only shows me a group of pc stuff but do not pintpoint what to do or which one is malicious. What is the best way to use hijack this?

What can I do Thanks

Re: Slow pc

What kind of PC?
XP or Vista?

They run different processes during start up. Also changing the order that certain hardware drivers are loaded will make a big difference. Another thing is certain programs will embed themselves as being needed or "start when Windows starts."

Windows Media Center, AIM, Roxio and cd burning software, usb webcam apps, Quicktime, Google updater and crash handlers, Windows Mobile Device Central, and MSN Messenger are several that I can think of off hand that I've had to disable.

If you're using Vista, open Windows Defender and under "Tools" select "Software Explorer," from there you can disable many things that will bog you down during start up.

Re: Slow pc

do all your regular optimazations: empty recycle bin, defrag, and Scandisk.. Also - take a look at what is running at startup and how many little iconies are in your tray, down by the clock - every one of those things is sucking ram and CPU; disable/Uninstall anything that you don't really need.

there could be something physically wrong, or some kind of hdd (hard drive) issues, but being the betting-man that I am, I am going with Malware. You said you've already run Spybot, Norton and CCCleaner, but I would also try MalwareBytes.

Re: Slow pc

Make sure whatever malware programs you run. you run them in safemode WITHOUT networking to get the best results Smile
