IE running turtle slowish

[tjara03]

I was hoping someone would be able to help me. My IE runs super slow and i read that running HJT could help out. I ran it but do not know what to delete. I would appreciate if someone could look this over for me... THanks alot in advance!!

mcafee can slow down any computer!

Try Free Antivirus like Avast or Avira

 

[tjara03]

kimsland, i will try one of those and see what happens... is one better than the other??

 

[kimsland]

Yes Avira

But you must first fully un-install Mcafee

 

[tjara03]

Ok so I got rid of mcafee and added avira and comodo firewall.. I went through the 8 step process.. Thanks for the help so far! its running better!

Ok I had a quick look at the logs, there's sooo many VAIO entries it made it a bit difficult (but don't worry about that)

Please run CCleaner again (a few temp files to get rid of)
