Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted March 5, 2009 Root Admin ID:61614 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Please post the MBAM and HJT logs.Also note that not all slowness is Malware.Computer and browser slowness are not always malware relatedPoor performance and other problems can be the result of disk fragmentation, disk errors, corrupt system files, too many startup programs, unnecessary services running, not enough RAM, dirty hardware, etc. As your system gets older it becomes filled with more files/programs and has a natural tendency to slow down so cleaning and regular maintenance is essential. Listed below are a few things you can do to improve speed and system performance. Many of the these suggestions will apply if you're using Windows Vista but may be done a bit differently. Near the bottom of this thread there is a section specifically devoted to Vista Users.For browser problems, see: Its not always malware: How to fix the top 10 Internet Explorer issues How and Why to Clear Your CacheIf your having connectivity issues or errors such as Page cannot be displayed see Repair/Reset Winsock settings Troubleshooting Internet Connection ProblemsIf you're using Vista or Internet Explorer 7, see Why is my Internet connection so slow?

crossy1686 Posted March 5, 2009 Author ID:61666 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think this one is either malware or a registry problem, the browser wroks fine, it's just about every 5 minutes or so the busy light comes on and useually you can hear the diskdrive clicking but there's no noise and everything freezes for about 15 seconds, it's done it twice already while i was writing this! i think it may be registry related as a restored one of my registry fixes from the other day and the computer ran fine, then when i removed the trojan with MBAM it started freezing again.
