I'm having trouble with my computer, it's just too slow and it's getting blocked at any moment, it's just freaking me out!!!
I dont know if it can be a virus. I have the Norton antivirus 2005 and Windows Defender for the spyware and the firewall, but when I scan or examine the computer it says it's fine!!!
I dont even have half of the computer hard disk capacity so full, so I dont know what's happening.
Ohh, and I still have the Macafee security center installed even though it's not working because it's out of subscription, but I havent taken the time to erase it...Do you think this could be bad for the functioning of the other antivirus??? To ahve them both installed, even though one of them is not working??
Anyway, I just tried to describe to you what I have in the computer...but I dont know what could be causing this...please I need help, this is killing me, I just bought this computer in october last year and now it's just killing me!!

Hola chica! Vengo en tu ayuda como un chapulin solo que no uso gorrita roja porque me han confundido con la caperucita!
Bien, antes que nada vamos a revisar el router que tienes. Hay una lucecita con el nombre LAN. Esta luz cuando esta encendida es que tiene una conexión a internet estable, y cuando esta parpadeando, significa que entra a una pagina o que esta cargando. Si al cerrar el explorer y otro que requiera conexión a internet continua intermitente, significa que hay hacker en tu computador.
Muchas veces los spywares (si, esas arañitas que escudriñan tu vida como si del FBI se tratasen) se instalan en el computador y solo ocupan memoria. Lo que tienes que hacer aqui es, revisar con un antivirus que (ojo que este no se ofrece sino se busca, es gratis y sumamente funcional, se actualiza solo y no hace aspavientos como los de los anuncios de los popups) se llama NOD32. Este va a verificar y reparar archivos dañados.
Te quita hasta Spywares, y si tienes asesoría cerca, el Hijack te sirve para ver qué hackers entran y bloquearlos de tu sistema asi como spywares.
El Sygate es un firewall que no permite la entrada de popups y ventanas emergentes. Favorece en bloquear a spywares ^-^
Eso si! El Norton borralo, erase it, delete it! Porque solo te hará la computadora más lenta, ocupa mucha memoria RAM!
Si tienes dos antivirus conectados y funcionando, no funciona tampoco porque uno bloquea al otro y mientras miran quien cura al enfermo, el enfermo ya se murió.
busca entonces:
NOD32 (antivirus, primero desinstala el Norton)
Sygate (firewall)
Hijack (te busca los archivos con daño y los que han sido hackeados)
Mozilla Firefox (un explorer con firewall incluido, te evita aun más la visita de spywares)
Si necesitas ayuda, avísame! Un saludo!
...mas ^-^...
Ok, el router es el aparatito donde se conecta el cable de internet. Este debe de tener varias luces entre ellas una que diga LAN. Aqui es donde se ve como esta la conexion a internet.
Mira con lo del Norton ya me dejaste pensando porque estoy viendo que si pagaste mucho por él. Ahora bien, esta en ver la version. Sabes, el haber puesto dos antivirus juntos, el norton y mcaffe, esto si hace lentisima la computadora.
Dejemoslo mejor, en borrar el mcaffe y ve como funciona el norton por si solo porque los dos se bloquean entre si.
Un beso amiga!

I appreciate your efforts in at least trying to describe the problem. I will share some simple things to do that may help or at least give you an idea why it is slowing down.
1. Start, control panel , add remove programs.
Get rid of anything your not using but leave the updates and hotfixes there.
2. Start, control panel, internet options. On the general tab, delete temporary internet files. Doing this first makes the next step faster.
3. Double click the my computer icon, right click on your hard drive, select properties and disk cleanup. Put a check in all the boxes.
4. After it is done, restart windows, then.
5. Double click the my computer icon, right click on your hard drive, select properties, on the tools tab select defragment drive.
6. After is is done, restart windows again, then
7. Right click anywhere on the start bar that is clear, select task manager. On the processes tab, you will see a list of what is currently running on your system. XP normally has anywhere from 30 to 60 processes running. The system idle process should be no lower than 90% when you haven't opened any programs.
8. If this helps and you'd like to learn a few more things, send me an E and I will share a few utlities I have to help, including instructions.
If you decide to do this, make the process list window large enough to get them all, press printscreen, open paint and paste it into it. Save it and send it attached to the E. This will help me see what's going on.

You NEVER run two virus software programs together they fight each other, first, go to start control panel and remove Macaffee anti virus, next uninstall Norton antivrus make sure you have your sub scription key first, then go to Norton home page and download the Norton anti-virus removal tool and run it, after running it do disk cleanup, delete all cookies, offline files and all old compressed files, after you do this then derangement the drive, check your disk space if it is OK if not go to www.popup eliminator and download their Free 30 day trail software for bugs, run it and delete the bugs it finds then one more time defrag and install Norton and run update again, run scan and that should help you get rid of the problem, you could use go back but you need to get rid of the two virus definitions on the computer it slows you way down.

Please uninstall Mcafee first. Two anti virus on one conflicts & make your system slow & unstable. Mcafee is still working on your system simply you have not updated it sdat releases. Sdat are newly found virus defination.
Do the following thing on your pc regularly.
First of allTo increase your virtual memory, to do that open control panel double click system foldes on opening page click advanced than chek before Adjust for best performance. than click advanced in coming window you will find virtual memory click setting. Select drive on where you want your virtual memory to be. then click custom and change the file size by typing your initial size, it should be 1024 MB at least & max size should be not less than 2048 MB.
1. Search for temp files( In search box type *.tmp) click search. Delete all files that appears after search.
2. Than as above type *.log & do the same.
3. Search Temp folder Delete all it's content.
4. Search Temprory Internet Files & delete it's content.
5. Run updated Antivirus & Anti spyware.
6. Run disk cleanup from system tools in accessories.
7. Than defragment your drives twice from system tools Defrag.
8. From run type msconfig > enter > click on startup un check all checked field except of antivirus & anti spyware. Choose & click services, Check beside hide all MS Services. In remaining list uncheck all except Anti virus & Anti spyware services click apply click ok you will asked to restart click restart. You are almost done.
This will make your system considerably faster but one very essential action has to be taken and that is cleaning Registry which is the main reason of sluggis system. Dowload
WIN XP Manager or tuneup utilities install & clean. Try with win xp manager,s 1 click cleaner. You can download it from
www.softarchive.net. It requires dotnet fx so you will have to download it also. First you will have to install dotnet fx. It is free & you can get it from site of microsoft. Your PC will become as fast as it was when new or a bit better. Clean registry daily & all other oprations stated above fortnightly.

Let me tell you that having two antivirus installed at one time is higly not recommended. Actually what happens is that these antivir are auto protecting your system all the time. So please uninstall one. Secondly
get hold of a good registry cleaner that will remove all crap from the registry.
Try to remove all the unnecessary programs that are running. I dont think you have any sort of virus in your computer.
If i was in your place i would try to recover all my data and siply reinstall windows. It takes time but its the best solution.

You need to go to control panel and add and remove programs and get the old Norton removed. Next run disk clean up and the scan disk. This should help. Good luck.

To completely uninstall mcafee go here and use the removel tool.
http://ts.mcafeehelp.com/displaydoc.asp?frames=1&docid=408302&CategoryId=107187
Also, Norton will slow down your PC because it uses a lot of resources from your PC and constantly runs in the background.

A menudo he resuelto esta situacion,apagando el equipo,y restaurando la computara.
El antivirus del 2005 ya no te sirve,a mi no me sirve ni el del 2007 que tengo pago,y lo quite porque MSN te brinda este servicio y tiene apoyo por telefono para cualquier situacion que tengas.
Bajar musica hace daño al equipo,pero yo tengo mi disco duro a full,alrededor de 5,000 canciones,y no pasa nada,solo que no debo ponerlo cuando tengo la internet,pues la hace muy lenta.
La compañia que te da este servicio,debe tener apoyo tecnico,tanto DSL Yahoo,como las otras de cable que son las mas rapidas y la que supongo que tengas.
Al menos 1 vez a la semana debes restaurar tu computadora,yo lo hago hasta 3 veces,porque esta mierda tan necesaria cuesta mucho.
No bajes programas gratis,SON MENTIRAS,y lo hacen para ponerte espias y tengas que estarle comprando sus productos.
No se si tengas spy sweeper,me ha salido muy bueno.
Cuando amanezca le pedire ayuda a mi amiguita Alejandra,ella conoce un programa GRATIS que te proteje la computadora.
Duermete,y nos vemos mañana.
Suerte*
