Hey,
A week or two ago, I was sat playing some game on ebaumsworld.com, well of a sudden my computer froze, stuttered a little bit, and from then it has gone seriously slow.
I can't watch videos on youtube, or listen to music as it's all broken and stuttering.
It takes an age to turn on, and I can only really run one or two programs at once. Before I could have Windows Media player open, youtube, Outlook Express and Dreamweaver without any noticable lag.
I'm protected by an up-to-date Norton system, and have ran several scans. It does bring up one or two "issues", but these can't be resolved and when you check the Norton website it says they are of a 'low threat'. I did try and delete them manually, and am running a scan now to see if Norton is picking them up.
I have ran HijackThis in the last 20 minutes, and attached the log.
I have also ran CCleaner, AVG Anti-Spyware, Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware. Nothing in particular is thrown up.
As well as this, I completed a full disk defrag last weekend. No major improvements.
Computer Specs:
C drive has 18.6GB of free space (out of 53.1GB) and the D drive has 45.7GB of free space (out of 53.6GB).
I know the C drive could be emptier, but I installed nothing new on or around the time that the computer slowed down.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Many thanks
Dan
