I’m continuing this question I had, because I haven’t figured out.

I have gotten rid of a few virus, and spyware/malware stuff. Spybot, Adaware, and AVG have done their part. I installed Eusing registry cleaner … and it cleaned it up good.

I had this problem before I did these things, it’s the only thing I haven’t figured out the remedy to. Ok, it’s freezing at startup. IT was freezing both at start, and at shutdown. Now, I have run those programs and PC-Doctor 5 and it didn’t show anything wrong with the graphics, motherboard, etc. I did all the tests.

What do I do next. How do I determine what it is next?

Thanks, I’ll award an answer!

After 2.5 years, my Dell XPS has become too slow. I use all of the spyware (Ewido, AdAware, and Spybot) and virus apps. (E Trust Internet Security Sutie) and have never had a virus. I use CleanUp! and WindowWasher and Registy Mechanic to no avail. I think the registry has simply gotten too huge. It is time to do a clean install of XP Pro.

What is the best free software out there to clean your computer? I know of adaware but is there something out there that’s better than adaware and also free?

I have those annoying WinFixer Popups, and i want to get rid of them, along with some other popups (bad ones), and i also want to rid myself of the Blackberrry virus, which i am continually told has breached my computer. Windows Security center has told me that my computer has been breached and private information is being sent. It offers downloads like WinAntiVirus PRO. Are these really to remove viruses, or are they themselves just pieces of more spyware. I also believe i have a virus, because when i run Adaware SE,it always runs into one critical file in the first 60 or so seconds, and then my computer will basically go into classic mode, with a whitish colored taskbar at the bottom, and finally the computer will shut down. i cannot remove the virus with Adaware, since it shuts my computer down first. please give me some advice, especially if it solves both antivirus and popup issues, and please do not suggest Google Toolbar for popups, as i dont think it’ll be able to remove these.

it’s kind of acting up right now, freezing alot etc, whats a good universal program that cleans up everything to most? pretty sure my computer has some things my spyware or adaware isnt picking up
