First use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.

you seem to have an adware problem, adware can get around even the best pop-up killers, plus a personal firewall will slow that crap down...I don't have that problem on my machine. Get Ad-Aware, Spy Sweeper and Spybot on your machine, and run them until nothing comes up on the scans, Windows Defender is an up-and-coming tool that you can download free...Ad Aware and Spybot are also free. Get 'em, run 'em...and clean that puter out.

you may have to many processes running in the background press Ctrl+Alt+del and see how many processes are running for a computer with 256 ram 27 processes is the most you should have running\n\nuse system mechanic "startup guard" and block some non important tasks

Good that you do adware and spyware cleaning regularly.\nDo you so files and registry cleaning regularly ? If not this could be the source of sluggish PC also. If you do not have a registry cleaner I recommend CClean ( freeware ). Go download. After cleaning do a disk C disfragmentation using\nWindow defragmentation files \nStart/Program/Accessories/system tools / defregmentation\n\nIf still sluggish , don't uninstall Norton but deactivate it\nfrom getting into setup files . \nGo download WinPatrol and deactivate it from boot files.\nThen you can manully use it when you need them.\n\nThen download AVG Anti Virus to use it for life monitoring\ninstead of Norton which historically have proven to slow\ndown setup.\n\nOr alternatively upgrade your RAM to 1.250 GigaBit.\n\nSO choose your options above. \n\nGood Lucj

You may also have too many applications running at once.  Try shutting down (closing) some things you have going.

1) Use Winpatrol to stop all your programs loading on startup. You only want Windows and your security software.\n2) Use Ccleaner. Run the cleaner, run the Issues tool, uninstall any programs you no longer use.\n3) Defragment all the partitions on your hard drive from start - programs - accessories - system tools - defragmenter. Leave the pc while it runs.\n4) Make sure you have a firewall, an anti virus, 3 anti spyware programs, update and run them at least once a week.\n5) Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.\n6) Try to get 1 gig RAM.\n\nYou need to install one firewall.\nThe Windows firewall doesn't stop malware on your pc from dialling out. \nhttp://www.zonelabs.com Zone Alarm firewall\nhttp://www.comodogroup.com/  - Comodo security suite.\n\nYou need to install one anti virus;\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/  -AVG anti virus or\nhttp://www.avast.com - Avast Antivirus \n\nYou need all three anti spyware programs;\nhttp://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.\nhttp://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware\n\nUtilities;\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/ Firefox web browser.\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com Cr*pcleaner Registry cleaner and privacy tool\nhttp://www.winpatrol.com\nSpywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox.

have you deleted files , scaned your disk , did a disk clean up, defragged lately.. those things can slow the comp down, if not done weekly.. maybe you need more ram.. did you update before you ran your virus scan.. sometimes all you need 2 do is reboot.. bummer eh

Sounds like you may have a lot of startup programs. You could install more memory, run virus and spyware scans, *defrag* your hard drive, and uninstall any unneccessary programs. \nTry doing all this from safe mode (may be a little quicker). \nhttp://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml\nhttp://www.iobit.com/WindowsCare.htm\nhttp://www.windowsonecare.com/

Do you have an antispyware? Run a scan because most of them are monitoring tools and thumbnails. Install the tune up utilities and evrything will be just fine. Ya they do slow down your computer as they use up ur RAM and also the booting time is increased.

Go to "start".."run"....type in msconfig and check out your settings under "startup" and uncheck anything that might be slowing your computer down.\n\nHope this helps

Sounds like you do have too many applications, like I did. Adding more RAM will fix the problem.  It cost me $60.00, and it was worth it; isn't that aggravating!\n\nHope this helps.
