My computer connection speed is running really slow?

i have a windows xp and since about a month ago my internet connection has been getting slower and slower. i have already checked for viruses, spyware, and malware with ca antivirus, and i have cleaned/fixed the registry. the problem started after installing live one care, the computer didn’t have the requirements so i uninstalled it. i have checked the connection with another and the internet actually works fine on that one so i know for a fact it has to be the computer.PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

What is a free program (not trial) that will remove the WinFixer Popups and also the Blackberry Virus?

October 10, 2009

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.

Best stand-alone freeware firewall?

October 9, 2009

Antivirus = Antivira.

Antimalware = Malwarebytes.

Registry/cache cleaner = CCleaner.

I need a firewall that’s JUST a firewall, & hopefuly won’t have any problems with my other security software.

How do I access Comcast/McAffee virus protection after Antivirus 2009 was removed by Malwarebytes?

October 2, 2009

I used a thumb drive and installed Malwarebytes onto my laptop and it removed the Antivirus 2009. Now I can surf the web, get windows updates and things I couldnt do before. But, when I go to get Mcafee from comcast something blocks the page from being viewed. How can I get around this to access virus protection?

How to fix slow computer bootup?

September 23, 2009

Everytime i install a program into my computer my computer becomes very slow in bootup. When it boots up the explorer appears but the system tray programs arent in place. I dont have that much programs in bootup all i have is my firewall and my antivirus that boots up and this hasnt become a problem before i installed a program. The program isnt a virus and i have enough ram (512 mb). my firewall is zone alarm and i use AVG anti virus Free. it takes about an hour or 2 juss to boot up my whole computer and i checked msconfig already to check if there are any startup problems. I checked regiestery problems with CCleaner and i defraged my harddrives yet it still wont work. There are no spyware on my computer i scanned for viruses. Can anyone help?
