Roger Best Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Hi, running Windows XP Pro (Windows 7) on a 2 year old PC which was built for me by company I got off the internet. Really pleased with it until about 3 weeks ago when I noticed that as the day progresses system speed really slows. I do a bit in Excel and the pop-up windows take ages to "pop-up" and then complete the command. No installations that I authorised and my AVG free edition software seems to stop quite a few but not all incursions. Also I had a look at SpeedupmyPC which I have not purchased as the reviews were not comforting and am now stuck with the thing scanning everytime I boot up. Not really IT literate but comfy with following instructions. I have everything backed up on a Seagate external drive. If I have posted in the wrong place, my apologies, please advise accordingly. Regards, Roger :cool: Quote
KenB Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Roger and welcome to FPCH. There could be a number of things causing your machine to run slowly. How much RAM do you have? Start > Run .....type in ...winver .....ENTER Download MalwareBytes from here: Malwarebytes.org Download the free version - install - run. There is a lot more that can be suggested - lets see how you get on with these two first. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
