i was wonderin' if anyone could help me with my problem. i've tried running my virus scan, adaware always freezes on, spybot didn't detect anything, and neither did xsoftspy another spyware program, but my computer's running slower than normal. sometimes, the bar that shows you the progress of loading a page doesn't even show and if it does, it's a very slow process. i run mozilla firefox as my choice of explorer to replace internet explorer. i've also deleted prefetch and cookies, ran disc clean up and i've defragged.

# 1. Take a look as to how many programs are actively running. Look by the computer clock at the icons. Close out anything that you're not using that will close.
# 2. Take a look at your hard drive space free as compared to the total hard drive space. If you're nearing max-out capacity ** Excuse my spelling ** That can limit your performance.
# 3. Click on start.. Then Run.. Then type in msconfig.
There should be a windows tab. (( If not close out and disreguard )) Un-click everything that you don't want automatically to start up at windows startup. Apply it and reboot your computer.

Try running the spyware scans in Safe Mode (press F8 just before Windows starts loading).

try using the windows task manager and see what processes are running and see if any are using alot of your memory and kill the process there(presuming you are not using it) If all else fails, go to system tools and do a restore your computer to an earlier time and see if that will help speed things up.

Sounds like you may need to do a restore or recovery, or better yet format and reinstall windows so you will have a clean slate to work with

in keeping with what you assert. it is annoying to be certain what the subject is. you probably did no longer say whether you're making use of severe speed or dial or instantaneous. while you're making use of a instantaneous cyber web, it might desire to be sign barrier project. while you're making use of severe speed, it might desire to be undercover agent ware project, if dial up, would desire to be bandwidth project. in case you have been making use of you laptop ok earlier. i do no longer think of it is laptop project. Modem capability surge project is likewise achieveable.

Sounds like you don't have enough RAM or you are running too many things at once. Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL to see what you are running.
