extremely slow laptop, done the basics...i think

fncbdy1 · 04-16-2007, 10:46 AM

hi, i have a gateway laptop, MX6441. running windows xp media center edition. AMD Turion 64, 1.79 GHz,512 MB, 80 GB hard drive with about 35 GB free. when i first got it, it was super fast. now not so much. very slow start up and even slower logon. and it has started freezing up every now and then. i run AVG free, Ad-Aware, and Spybot S & D. all comes up clear. i've done disk clean ups and defrag. i've run msconfig and got rid of all the misc crap. i don't have a lot of desktop icons, maybe 12. i also keep it on a notebook fan so i don't think its overheating. not sure what the next step should be any advice would be really great. sorry to blabber on, thanks in advance.

Hi,

It sounds like you still have a malware problem. Check out these steps here: http://www.techsupportforum.com/secu...sting-log.html

Then, if that doesn't solve the problem, post a HJT log in the analysis forum. When the guys from the security team have cleared your log as free of malware, you can come back to this thread. I will know if you respond.

You will have to wait a little bit. The security guys are very busy over there with logs. If it has been a couple days and nobody has responded, you can bump your thread once.
