I am betting you're using a resource hog as an antivirus program...I'd guess you're using McAfee or Norton. If you are you're never going to speed up your computer until you remove these hogs from your system and install a good anti-virus that does not use up all your computer resources.\n\nI suggest you use AVAST - http://www.avast.com/ it's free and it is very highly rated. But, if you're going to install a new anti-virus - uninstall the one you have now first - otherwise you could damage your operating system and neither anti-virus will work well.

My mum had Norton, there was a similar problem.  I contacted their tech support but after several attempts, they could not resolve it.  You could try their tech support too, but you may find you need to reinstall.  In my mothers case even after reinstalling there were problems, it was very frustrating.  As a result I won't use Norton, I use McAfee, windows doesn't seem to be slowed down so much.  A few guys at work use Grisoft AVG and they have had no problems at all, they think it's excellent, plus it's free!

Run the anti-virus scan from link 1 below. Then install the spyware software from link 2 and run it.. When done edit your post and let us know if you still have problems and what operating system your using...\n\nIf you are currently running some sort of antivirus software, turn it off first.

Hi, To find out if you have an anti virus program and its name; right click on any file or folder and see if the option\n-- SCAN WITH....(name of antivirus program).....is available.\nIf it is there, then you have an antivirus program.\n\nIf you need to download one-- AVG is an excellent choice.\n\nAll the best

You are infected! There is probably an executable file that runs at boot time that restores the infection. Most of the experts recommend downloading, installing & running: "Windows Defender", "AdAware", and "Spyware SD"; ALL THESE PROGRAMS ARE FREE!  I also am running "Spyware Doctor" (gotta pay, but good).  An excellent firewall is Computer Associates' "EZ Firewall" & a good safer & faster browser is "Firefox". By the way, favorite anti-virus program is ESET.

Turn off your System Restore ... every time you clean the virus it remain in the system restore ... when you reboot ... it reloads itself ....\nTurn it off .... Scan ...... reboot ..... Turn it back on

Try starting your computer in Safe Mode by pressing F8 before Windows starts. Then run a full scan with your antivirus software.

First of all dump McCrappy (same goes for anyone with Norton or AVG)... it is just a waste of resources (especially McCrappy & AVG) and gives a false sense of security...\n\nThen go download Avast (free version) from http://www.avast.com ... give them the info they ask (they will not spam you or give out your info) and download and install... they will e-mail you a license number good for 14 months and when it runs out you request another free license... Avast is resource friendly and does a superior job to any other antivirus program out there.... In the 4 years I have been using, I have got 2 viruses that got by Avast... both times my fault and both times soon as Avast did a system scan it found them so I could remove...
