My computer keeps laggin, and freezing, and i run avg and it detects but half way thru avg freezes. Help!?

Question

It has been lagging and freezing for sometime now. AVG detects virus's/ Trojans but when i go to "remove or Quartine" ot freezes. If i go into task mnager it shows that avg is "not responding" however the avg process is still using memory and cpu. I play World Of Warcraft and the game latency goes from around 126ms to 2186ms and my frames per second goes down too 1-2fps. Can anyone help me?

Okay, another problem really everytime i finish the avg/avast scan it still freezes. I am getting rather tired of scanning (it takes a hour +) and other people need the computer too. I still have the Avg active (having not wanted to waste that 2 hours that it spent scanning) howevr it wont even let me look at that window anymore. I can open new windows but once i close them they disappear off the taskbar but not the screen. Any hepl with this?


(BTW I Have Several AV AS and AM programs some better than others and avg being the best seeing as it is usally the only one that detects 5000+ infections)

Answer 1

You really should only have ONE Anti-Virus installed on your computer. They don't play well with each other. The more anti-spyware/malware the better but anti-virus should be just one
Sounds like you have a low memory anything less than 512mb is like computing through quick sand.
5000 infections? WOW do you have a firewall installed? If not get one, go to Download.com and search for ZoneAlarm.
when was the last time that you did a disk clean up and a disk defrag now is a good time.
Try running the scan in safe mode ( I believe its F8 when the computer is booting up before the windows screen)

Answer 2

Use an online scanner or another AV program like Avast!

Answer 3

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.

Answer 4

You should try advanced windows care. It might help you. (It is also free )
