can anyone help me out?

Hello dear fredgame. I am so sorry that your computer is as slow as a snail. I have to say that it was the same with mine from two days ago till just an hour ago. My laptop was infected with some viruses like 'motou', which is new to me. This virus was invading my laptop making it hard to open windows. I felt so bad for it and took it to my computer guy in the computer shop for help to get it reinstalled. Now it is working normally as usual, but I am still a little worried about the intruding of the virus again. I have to be very careful with the use of my laptop. Usually the only way that I get this kind of problem fixed is to get it reinstalled. But I do not suggest that you do it because yours is a new one and the windows xp is in the original, which is always better than a copied one. Take care of your computer and I hope that it will be fixed soon. Good luck.

I would also suggest deleting your cookies, cleaning out your diskspace, defragmenting etc. I know mine runs slow sometimes and then I do that and it works better. Also try deleting stuff you dont need pictures etc. That takes up memory and slows it down also.

what is your computer's configration?

Desk top : Pl have the least icons on the Desktop. Emails : You may delete unwanted/read/least imp emails having attachments. You should delete even the 'delete folders too 2) Sent items : You may retain only the important mails sent. Rest .. you can put them to rest for ever. 3) Inbox mails : You may please start creating sub folders, subjectwise etc and shift there. Here also you should be selective in retention. All the best

I like to recommend you a site that can help you, I have some computer problems before but when I saw this site they help me a lot. I just PM you the site.

Go to www.webroot.com and download the free 30 day trial of Windows Washer, That deletes cookies, temp internet files and other junk that is not necessary. I have the free trial now and it made me computer run a lot smoother! it is a trusted site just go there and check it out!

Ran a scan on your computer to check for virus/spyware infection.A good antispyware scanner is Superantispyware, you can download it for free at filehippo.com

From what you said, it sounds more your connection than computer that is causing the problem. Are you on wireless internet access? If so, try to use the LAN wire. That should solve the problem. Otherwise, tough luck...

It sounds that your computer was already infected with a spyware or other unwanted applications. Try to check your task manager by pressing Alt + Ctrl + Delete for you to verify and see if there are suspicious applications running in the background, which in some case may eat a lot of memory, thus slowing the speed performance of your machine. If you would mind, I can suggest you to download a trial version of Eset Nod32. Before installing this software, be sure to uninstall your current antivirus software to avoid conflicts. Please do update this software and run an in-depth scan of your machine. It scans your machine both spywares, viruses, and other malwares so no need to install antispyware. I may also suggest that you use mozilla or opera as your main browser. These two browsers are very safe to use when compared to IE. I hope your machine will get better soon. :-)

If its a weird looking email, you SHOULDN'T open it and DO NOT INSTALL what is inside. Uh, you may want to run an antivirus scan (use AVG 7.5 for free), and an anti-spyware scan (AdAware and/or Spyware Terminator). If the scans turn up nothing, restart your computer and put it in safemode. Run the scans from there. Other things hardware wise you could try. First back up your information, documents, music, important things: back that up to CDs/DVDs and an External Harddrive. Try defragmenting your harddrive which can be found under Accessories=]System Tools. Also, if your harddrive is more than two-thirds used space, you may consider putting other data on CDs/DVDs or an external harddrive, so your computer isn't bogged down with so much material. If your RAM memory is old you may consider replacing that too for your computer. Conduct wise. If you use Mozilla Firefox or Opera, keep those programs up to date. Also do not have too many windows and/or tabs up. Each one can slow down a computer particularly older and less powerful computers. Be sure other items you aren't using aren't up either, so your computer has less to manage.

I was going to suggest deleting your cookies, empting trash, temp files, etc. But if you have a virus(es) you might want to get some professional help.

in fact,just now i want to give you a way to delete the rubish document,but it don't allow me to paste!anyway i think i can send you a message~~and you can try to reset you computer,it willjust take you more than 2 hours i think~~

i think your computer must have been attacked by the virus,you can use this software-kav7.0,or you can reship your system

REduce icons on your desktop. You can use CCleaner software to remove unwanted files. It is a free ware and you can easily download it.

You said your computer is slow, but I am not sure wether it's slow in overall or just the internet connection. Because if the overall performance is not up to speed, then it's most probably due to insufficient memory issue. You might need to add more RAM to it. Or your hardisk is running out of space. MS windows needs at about 500MB disk space for temporary memory storage in order to speed up the processing time. Besides this, the slow performance could be due to virus infection which had choked your computer processing power. You can try tweaking the system setting like turning off the visual effect, running disk defragmentation, unintall unnessary programs or residual service. It will helps. But if you are referring to internet speed is slow, then I would suggest to check with your ISP specifications. You might need to upgrade the connection by subscribing to better package. The modem and internet connection setting seldom be the cause of slow internet connection, but worth trying if you feel that the speed is untolerable.

why? what's your problem about that?

I wonder whether you use Firefox as the browser to load Mylot. I found in these few days it seems to load Mylot very slowly. And IE doesn't have this problem. Besides, you have to make sure whether your computer has virus. Sometimes having virus will slow down the computer. And you can try to recover the system if you use Windows XP to see whether this problem will be solved.

I had some problems with my work computer that was taking forever to open programs and send. And shut down time took about 30 min. I went to McAfee and down loaded a tril program and it cleared up the complete problem it found all kinds of problems in my work computer. I work as a graphic designer and totally dempent on my computer. My boss had downloaded some spyware and other crap that was not working. I removed it all and downloaded the McAfee protection and it got my computer working like it should. The spyware and popup blockers did not stop any of that. McAfee has a free 30 day tril that when it is up you can it will let you know so you can get it purchased if it is working for you. I would highly recomend doing that.

Ohh, my dear friend, may be your computer infected with the virus, which keeps your system busy. And btw, do you use any Antivirus software, if yes then kindly update it and then scan your whole computer, maybe this will resolve your problem. And for web based, try using Opera or Mozilla Web Browser. keep posting!!!

yesterday i meet the situation just as yours,I think just the slow speed of the internet.
