Computer running slow

Unread postby ford2307 » February 1st, 2009, 4:50 pm

I recently removed Limewire from my computer. I have been told that this can open me up to various types of malicious programs. Could you please check my computer for infections? It is not running as fast as it once did.

Thank You
Jeannie :P

AntiVirus
You have CA Internet Security Suite and AVG Free 8.0, AV's running, you're actually doing more harm than good by running more than one Anti Virus program.
When you do this the programs compete for resources, and the end result is none does it's best and can cause system instability.
I recommend that you choose one that you want to keep.
The other/s I would either uninstall, or disable from startup and use as "on demand" for an occasional scan.

Please note that almost all "free" security software is only free for home/private users

Did you set this for your desktop? if not add to deletions list for HJT

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
