Computer going slow; Possibly virus?

[Azuriell]

Yeah well it seems I screwed up my computer.
It's going slow and such...
And it's a real pain in the ***.
I'm not a Computer expert (!YET) so I gently ask you guys to kindof check it out please.



Greetings,

your log looks real clean, but i would stop using that norton bloatware
use avg free and zonealarm free insted

Could u give me a reason, I mean.
What is the Norton doing wrong.


Oh and I noticed wierd.

Is it normal that the CPU(when you go to Taskmanager -> Prestations ) is running like between 90-100 %
Because I think my old comp used like ... 20 % and sometimes even lower...

nortans a resource hog and isnt to good of an AV, my advise use avg
and just because your hjt log looks clean doenst mean much
hjt can not dectet some things, therefor you computer may be infected
go to the internet sucurity fourm and read all the READ posts

get rid of norton. the only good thing norton makes is norton corporate and systemworks - and the only good thing in systemworks is the registry repair function.

ive used mcaffe, norton, and avg, and personally the only program that ever found a virus was norton, but that could be just pure coincidence.

what's your config-- CPU speed, RAM, HD size, swap file size?

Couldn't hurt to clear out all your older uneeded files.

Double click 'My Computer'
right click your 'C:' drive
click properties on the menu that has appeared
Under the 'general tab' click on the "disk Cleanup" button
check every box
click ok

Defrag if needed.
