Ok this is starting to get really annoying. I do not understand why my computer is so slow. I have used Disk Clean Up and Disk Defragmenter after it was done scanning my computer it was still slow. I have used some programs to get rid of unnecessary files. The free programs I have used are Ccleaner and Glary Utilities it scanned my whole computer and it was still slow. Then I bought 2 programs that are called Registry Booster and Registry Fix 7, and these are not freeware, I scanned my whole computer and it was still slow. So then I started to suspect I had a virus, so I went out to buy ann anti-virus, it was called Avast Internet Security 2009. I had many viruses so then Avast took care of every single virus. But still my computer is slow what could possibly be the problem? I have many programs installed on my computer, and it was working fine and it was fast, then at some point my computer got slow, can someone PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

How to clean up my computer?

My computer has been acting weird lately, freezing up and missing the little icons in the bottom right of the screen that usually pop up right away (msn messenger icon, weatherbug, avg anti virus…etc.) I tried to do a system restore and everytime i try it says incomplete restore. what other things can i try to make my computer work better (faster, not freeze, etc.)

i have a pop up blocker, anti virus, firewall, spyware detector and it still pops up. its not a website its just a small annoying window that pops up telling me i have errors in my registry and i need to go to their website to fix my registery any help!!!!

I don’t know how it happened; one day I got home from work and signed in to a bunch of pages of advertisement being displayed. I tried using Avast, Search and Destroy and 1 Click Maintenance to no avail. Search and Destroy actually deleted something important to the registry and my icons and start button and bar wouldn’t display anymore. I had to load it up in safemode and undo everything it cleaned up, which fixed that problem but the malware still remains.

One thing I did notice is that normally my windows updates are automatic and now it is turned off and I can’t turn it back on again. Another thing is that these are all trial versions of the anti-virus and malware detection/elimination software. I’m at a loss though, usually I can get this cleaned up in a jiffy but this one seems to be serious. System Restore doesn’t have a mark to where I can restore it to an earlier time either.

Any ideas?
I would just wipe it clean but of course I can’t find my XP disk at all.

My computer, when restarted, freezes up about 98 percent of the time. I do not have a virus or any spyware. This doesn’t happen if the computer is turned off and then back on again, only when it restarts after installing programs or updating software like my anti-virus. Any ideas what causes this? I did a repair install of Windows XP the other day thinking that could be the reason, but it still happens. Any input would be appreciated.
