Computer experts, please help, what is wrong w/my computer?

Question

I bought a new computer, because my old one was tearing up. I had been told the mother board would be going soon, so when it started going really slow, constantly showing "This page cannot be displayed" errors, playing videos very slowly & freezing, I figured it was getting worse, so I got a BRAND new Dell PC. Only to find this one doing the SAME THING! The only difference is now, my virus scanner (which I also had on the old computer) keeps popping up messages to me. The most frequent one says "Inbound Malware Probe MyDoom In"...the most recent says "Intrustion attempt detected TCP High ports in". All of them say that my firewall has blocked them. I've also noticed (in the 4 days or so since I've had this computer), I've gotten a LOT of spam mail to my main email (not a yahoo acct, or such). What could have happened to cause this and how can I stop it? Is it some sort of virus or spyware or adware? A virus scan shows no viruses. But something is going on. Please help!

Answer 1

Try this its guaranteed to work
Follow these steps to a completely secure computer. Download and install all of these free programs. It’s allright to have more than one anti-spyware, but not anti-virus so make sure you have removed and uninstalled every bit of your old antivirus and firewall as these can cause unwanted conflicts.

Now restart your computer twice to ensure all or most of the programs have been properly installed. Make sure to update all these programs everyday. Now that you have updated all your programs go turn off your computer. Now hold on F8 right after you turn on your computer and that will bring you to the menu to go to safe mode. Hit safe mode and log in. Now launch up all the AVG programs and wait about 2 hours as it’s the first scan. If the programs have found anything simply delete the infections. After that, run spybot, adaware, and a-squared free edition, if they detect anything, simply delete those infections too. Then, after those run a full scan on windows defender it shouldn’t find anything by now and if it hasn’t then your computer has been cleaned of bad infections. Now its time to clean up. Run each of the clean up programs one by one. Now you have a safe, healthy, clean computer. And try to download these top internet browsers.

Why is my computer slow? I bet you have asked yourself that very question time and time again. And for the most part, you probably just can not figure it out. Ask the guy next to you, and they probably don’t have the foggiest idea either. I mean, you may get the “spyware,virus” answer, but this most likely is not the case.

The first place I check when my computer starts to run slower is the registry. Yes, the registry. Most people don’t even know what, or where the registry is, and especially don’t understand how this can slow a computer down. Let me explain.

Basically, the registry files contain information and settings for all of the software, hardware, operating system software, and anything else running on your computer. Mess any of these files up, and the computer does not know how to function. The computer goes to start up the software, looks for the registry files, and either can not find it or finds something that does not look like it is suppose to look like. It then just sits there: it does not know what to do next. This is where the “hanging” or “locking up” of your computer comes from. These files will need to be fixed.

To fix the registry files, find a good quality registry repair software called registry cleaner and run it on your computer.Top 5 registry cleaners can be found in here: http://www.computer-speed.info .It will tell you how many files are corrupted and need to be fixed. Just tell the software to fix it and it restores all of the registry files to their correct configuration. It is really that simple. It may take only about 5 minutes to perform this check. And then as a maintenance item for your computer, I would recommend performing this registry fix at least once a week. This will always ensure your registry files are good, and keep your computer running with no slow,freezing and errors. So if you find yourself asking why is my computer slow, I would check the registry files first.

Now you can check out
http://www.computer-speed.info ,there are reviews of top rated registry cleaners and a clear guide to tell you how to speed up your computer.And from there you also can get a free scan to fix any problems such as computers slow,computer freezing, computer errors and getting the blue death screen.
Hope that can help you.

Answer 3

First, I would run your antivirus program in Safe Mode. Windows will not be loaded and you will, hopefully, catch any self-executable files.

Restart

Drag your icons back into place.

Load Windows
Free up your memory:

1. Set wallpaper and screensavers to blank or none — they run continuously in the background and use memory.
-----right-click on the desktop, select Properties
-----click the screensaver tab, on the left where it says "screensaver," select none.
-----click the desktop tab, for background, select none
2. Review your start menu – remove anything you don’t need on a daily basis — load games, etc. on an as-needed basis.
-----click Start, Settings, Taskbar and Start Menu
-----click the Start Menu tab
-----select a program you do not want to load at Startup, then click remove.
-----Caution -- do not touch anything you are not sure of or you will mess up your computer royally.
3. From Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options: delete cookies, delete files (offline), and clear history. (You can also set days to store history to 0.)
----- These actions will clear your computer’s cache. (For a description of cache, go to http://help.yahoo.com/l/ph/yahoo/mail/access/access-27210.html )
4. Run Disk Cleanup, Scandisk, Defrag at least every two weeks (the more frequently they are run, the less time they take).
-----These can be found in Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools.
5. Periodically, click Start, Programs, Run — then type ipconfig renew
(that’s ipconfig space renew).
6. Optional: Speed vs Goodies — in the Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance, Settings — you can have visual effects or let Windows select the best options. I am using “Best Performance.” Your choice.
These things should increase speed and free up memory as much as possible.

It will also help if you download two free programs: Ad-aware and Spybot .
Ad-aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
Spybot http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10122137.html

Answer 4

Udate your antivirus and scan your coputer in safe mode. After you remove virus, I recommend you use firefox browser. It is safer than IE. It can prevent viruses such as worm,trojan and etc. The newest official edition of firefox can be downloaded from http://www.mollzia.com

Answer 5

Someone may have you ip address and is hacking into your com. an putting adware or trojans on there. Try calling Dell and tell them the issue maybe they will fix it for free, and call your isp (internet service provider) and see if they will change your ip address if you have cable if it is Dynamic like dsl it will change periodicly but it could be something like that.

Answer 6

its probably a lot of spyware, be careful with what you download, prevent spyware with spyware blaster and delete them with superantispyware, it should work!

Answer 7
