Slow Down

pbrvet · 07-06-2005, 09:31 PM

Over the last few weeks my computer has slowed down to a crawl. My email takes for ever to open and now, just this evening, when I try to delete a piece of junk mail or create a rule to block and send it to the delete folder, I get an error message that tells me I can't do it. I have run my anti virus and every other blocker scanner software I have and it shows I don't have a problem. I could use some help with this one. Below I have inserted a copy of the scan I did with 'HiJack This'. I sure would appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. Thanks.

This one concerns me. It appears you have had CWS (Cool Web Search) in the past. It may bot be completely removed. Also, I don't recall the Shredder making any HJT entries.

You should take this log to the Securities forum and have an Expert look at it.

With so many updates, patches, hotfixes we keep downloading into the system, NTFS is under greater pressure to store files contiguously and the HD gets fragmented sooner than we realise. Try defragmenting if you havent and see if it helps.
