My computer was infected badly and lagging. I went in safe mode and deleted many viruses and infections and then my computer was alot better. Then once in regular mode i deleted alot of programs that i don't use. My computer was moving very quickly and wasn't lagging at all. Then i bought AVG Internet Security 7.5 and downloaded Adobe Acrobat and my computer became amazingly laggy and slow again. I got rid of acrobat but it is still very laggy.
I even defragged it and disk cleaned it and it's a little better but isn't going too fast.

Can anyone help me??
Plz i'm desperate.

Had trouble with booting up, so I repaired the boot.ini. I ran chkdsk /r and after that it booted up. It took forever to load and then restarted. This time it said that C:\windows\config\system32 was missing or corrupted. I finally format c: and reinstalled windows xp pro. Everything seemed to be going great and I started reloading programs,norton av first. Windows began downloading updates and I restarted a couple of times for that. The final windows update had 71 updates. I clicked on the shield at the bottom of the screen to begin updates and then went to watch tv. I went back to check it a few hous later and there were three error windows for corrupted files. I closed them out and tried to reboot and same thind as before. CHKDSK states that one or more files are corrupt and unrecoverable. Anyone have ideas on what to do know? Might be harware failure of some kind. Suggestions?
