u can disable this from the antivirus options, anyway i think that the antivirus will be necessary to u just wjhen u connect to a network or internet, otherwise u dont need the antivirus program, just disable it from startup, then before connecting to any network, u enable the antivirus, caus most antivirus programs are heavy, and the will read and chechk each file and operation that take place in ur computer

Look at your startup\n\ntype msconfig into Start-->Run. This prog will give a list of all the programs that are running with your computer. Disable whatever you don't need.\n\nDelete programs you don't need (these will take up room)\nMake sure you have enough hard-disk space (several gigs free is good)\nRun your virus scanner / spyware scanner. Viruses and spyware can really slow your computer down

sounds like you have a virus, try doing a product recovery using a microsoft product recovery disk, but save everything that you want from the computer first as this wipes all programs and files from the computer, you will then need to reinstall everything, it can take up to an hour to do but your computer will run faster and have fewer errors, make sure you have all your software and hardware disks as well.

It is the virus which my pc got infected recently.  This virus is deleting the Word and Excel files.  Until you remove it, do not open any folder that contains word or excel file. \n\nIf you try to delete the virus, it will recreate itself.  Appears to be residing in memory.  Every time you open a folder, a new copy of the virus is also created in that folder.  I tried NAV scan with latest update but it could not detect the virus.    \n\nAnyone can find any removal tool, please offer your advice.\n\nThanks,

Click on the start menu. Then select Run. Under this prompt write 'msconfig' without quotes. Then under Startup tab click on the button "Disable all". Then press Apply button. Again under the Services tab Check the option named "Hide all Microsoft services". Then click on the "Disable all" button. Again apply and then press ok. Restart the machine and perform a full system scan with the antivirus software installed. Follow the instructions mentioned by the antivirus software. This will solve your problem provided that the virus definition of your antivirus is uptodate.

most programs have a right clickable icon in system tray that gives option to turn off its starting up as a startup program. You can also remove the program from windows services.  ->control panel->administrative->services.  Disable them there and they don't take up valuable pc boot time.

do you have a lot of programs loading at start up because the can slow your computer way down. Just make it so they don't start up when you first logon.

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.

Win XP?\n\nThere could be many reasons that your system will not load quickly. My first inclination is that you have a lot of programs trying to load during the startup process. At the bottom of your screen (in most cases), you have certain programs that load during startup. The way you stop this is by clicking on start, select Run, type msconfig, click on the startup tab, and uncheck the boxes of any programs that you do not need. Quick Time can sometimes take a while to load. Instant Messengers can too. After you have done so, click on OK at the bottom to close the box. Restart your computer and see if that helps. \n\nAnother culprit is defragmented files. First click on Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup. You can clean up files that are unnecessary. Then, when that is done, click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragment. It may take a while to complete.\n\nMake sure you have an anti-virus program installed and an anti-spyware program. Scan for viruses and spyware. Many times, viruses can cause your computer to run slowly.

It may not be a virus. Check your start up listings by going to Start, Run, key Msconfig, press Enter.  Click tab Startup.  I'd remove all items at startup except anti- spyware and anti-virus.  Press Apply and exit.  Then restart your computer and it should begin to run faster, unless you do have a virus.  Remember all items in Startup are also Icons on your sign on screen.\nGood Luck.

I know whats the problem.\n\nYour file extentions are not properly registered in teh system registry. This is not something a normal person should attempt to fix - even if they know how.\n\nI know roughly how to do it but I wouldn't try either - I would simply advise to reinstall word and excel instead and let the installer reset the registry keys.\n\nJ

You have to erase virus,\n\nI've a good secret for you, press on start icon then press on run and write msconfig.\n\nAfter appearance of search results, press on startup and disable all running programs.\n\nOnce you do it, you'll give me the 10 points sir.

Virus Scan. Spyware Scan (and removal). Defrag. Run fewer programs. Get rid of Windows :D.
