Laptop slow, full of trojans

[kimsland]

I've had a few people tell me that the 'clean System Restore' option hasn't come up this way.

Your posts are just really good. So I don't feel fantastic trying to correct you
But you missed one option in that Clean System Restore (I'll post below)
Please use quote on my post, then copy all the lines between -------- and then save this to a Notepad file. So as being able to use this again

Oh and then just close the reply quote post

------------------

Clear system restore points

• 
  Clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
  • Select Create a restore point, and Ok it.
  • Next, go to Start > Run and type in cleanmgr
  • Select the More options tab
  • Choose the option to clean up system restore and OK it.
  This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

kimsland, as you know, I'm using this feature with your help. I copied the original and I can't find anything in what I left that is not in your post above:

Create the new System Restore point.- I have this.
Start> Run type in cleanmgr- I have this.
Select More Options. I have this
Choose the option to clean up restore points. I have this
OK it. I have this.

Maybe I need another cup of coffee, but I am missing seeing what's missing.- it could be right in front of my face!
As always, thanks for your help and patience.

You're right

I was the one who didn't read it properly
I'll blame it on your formatting , but in reality it was just me :suspiciou

Apologies

No apology needed, kimsland. You have been a great help to me and I use much of what you have been kind enough to share. If you ever think I misquote or omit, please tell me. Although I try to do my best, I suffer from the "I'm human" thing and mistakes do happen.

Sorry guys, busy weekend!

I told my friend that 1gb of ram was minimum and that he should look into getting another. I'm going to send him a link to newegg.

weird. thought I disabled all adobe startups...

I'll give all your suggestions the run through today and post later tonight.

Again, thanks for all the help! It is running a little better already but with such limited ram, still a little slugglish especially after running a few programs.

Question: I changed the desktop visual back to windows classic but didn't notice that much freed up resources, should I have?

Thanks for the edit kimsland. Some day I'm going to find an online editor to go with a spell checker!
