It is just plain slow. I am convinced that there are worms or infected files etc in it. It is a Pentium 3 ME, and I have recently converted from dial up which was rarely working, due to connection problems... Please help

First, do a complete check with whatever anti-virus program you're using (I'm assuming you have one, but if not, by all means get one...AVAST and AVG are free).  Then run an Anti-Spyware program, such as Spybot Search and Destroy, and/or Lavasoft's Ad-Aware.  \n     Next use the MSCONFIG command from your "Run" utility to check on the programs that are automatically run on your computer at start-up.  ONE AT A TIME, uncheck the ones that appear superfluous...these might include such things as RealUpdate, etc.  Reboot after each deletion to see if your pc still operates correctly.\n     Last, but not least, you might think about adding RAM to your system.  That will be a big help to speed things up.  Hope this helps.

if you are using a router try port forwarding.\n\nbut its probably slow cause there are no seeds, or too many people are downloading the file and there arent enough seeds for the demand

your computer has waaaaay to little random access memory to be playing any sort of high graphix game it's not the fan speed... your fan just cools the inside out and the cpu fan is probably more than capable of cooling off your cpu i think the prolem is the RAM. You will need to open your computer up and pop the chips out to see what kind they are then go on ebay and buy some. wait 'til they come and put them in. order as many chips as you have slots. if you don't feel comfortable doing this i would take it on down to your local best buy and drop it off at geek squad. hope this helps!

I suspect that you either have spyware/malware on your system that is slowing it down or you have a bunch of programs/processes being started on your system that he does not. I would get spybot Search and Destroy to check for possible infections and then use the advanced mode start up tool to optimize your system start up. As his machine is the same, you have a good template for what is needed and what is not.

Norton slow down the  performance of the PC. However you could try the steps in the link below to increase the performance of the PC.\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&docname=bph06569&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

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

Well whats the age of your PC.  Are you getting an error?  When you say it takes too much time, makes me think you may have to little memory.  Have atleast 256MB or 512 MB of RAM?

Do you do regular maintenance on both computers?  Defrag-clean cache, clear out history?  I know when mine starts slowing down if I do those 3 things, it makes a whole lot of difference.  Just a thought, and good luck.  Nothing more frustrating than a sluggish puter.

A few searches on the net said this was a virus or a trojan. I would suggest running a program like ad-aware and also a anti-virus.\n\nYour net will also run slow if others on the network are infected with malware or viruses and Dial-up will be slow by itself aswell.

About your slow windows: You need to check your RAM. It doesn't matter if you have the fastest processor on the planet, If you are trying to run WIN2K on say... 128MB or even 256MB of ram, then you will still get slow response times on everything you do. \n\nI would say make sure you have at the very least, 512MB of ram. Optimal in your situation would be 1024MB, or 1GB. That would work nicely with the 3.06 P4.
