ok. so i did some looking around. and downloaded some programs. and so far i have tried avast antivirus, avira antivirus, and avg antivirus and have come up with no virus results. i have also tried some spyware programs and have not had any spyware threats on my comp. i have tried to use glary utilities to clean my registry and remove junk files . this makes it worse. i have used ccleaner and that did absolutely nothing. have defragged my system even tho it said it didnt need defragged. and have advanced windows care installed.

some people have told me that the problem with my computer is that i download and install too many programs and have too many things running in the background. i have since uninstalled a lot of programs and have had no improvement.

is there anything short of reinstalling the OS, that i can do with my computer to clean up junk files, or find what the problem is? right now it takes 5 min to open a new tab in firefox. and i have maxed at 3,000 page faults/s

I need some good programs to speed up my computers performance because it is very slow.

I need programs like anti-spyware programs (or will AVG internet security paid) do it, it has anti-spyware) and malwarebytes (does AVG internet security paid have that?).

Also just normal cleaning programs to make my computer faster.

I have no anti-virus/ anti-spyware programs on my computer whatsoever. I need the absolute best anti-virus/ anti-spyware and Registry Cleaner Programs Available, that are UNDER each, and it has to be in the market(Staples, Home Depot, etc.) NOT on the internet. Oh and I don’t want the programs to slow down my computer too much like Norton/ McAfee. The reason why I don’t want to get the free anti-virus/ anti-spyware programs is because I know that they don’t get rid of all malicious files.
I do have a free registry cleaner(Ccleaner) but I don’t mind paying for a better one(as long as it’s under ).
If u could give me anything else that could improve my security(like firewall anti-malware), and as long as it’s under , that would be great :D. Thanks 4 your help
