Hay ive got problems on my computer when ever i go to play a mp3 or a game after a while the sound will just start lagging and sound like it is distorted/slow motion now it is getting very very annoying i have scanned my computer with virus scanners and also spyware removers and it came up with nothing
(ps. dont ask me whether my computer is slow i have a quite high end computer and that is what i find very strange)

Do the McAfee and Symantec programmes do the same things?

[razz101]

[Retired Tech]

See lowest 023 listing

[razz101]

i looked at it and it seems to be norton???? i dont know how on earth that got there........

[Retired Tech]

Two programmes trying to do the same things can slow things up

[Retired Tech]

Post a current HJT Log to the malware forum, they will let you know which to remove to avoid conflicts, and also check it isn't malware related

Run this, then post a log to the malware forum, they are the only people who can respond to any query arising from them

Click start then all programmes, accessories, system tools to run disc clean up, then also from system tools, run disc defragmenter

Click start then run, type prefetch then press enter, click edit then select all, (all files will highlight), right click any file, click delete, confirm then reboot.

Download, install and run Tune Up 2006 Trial

Run Tune Up disc clean up

Run Tune Up registry clean up

Click Optimize and Improve to run Reg Defrag, the screen will lose colour during the process which can take a few minutes and then needs a reboot

Those will have cleared the drive of obsolete software errors

These are suggestions for making the most of the free trial

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to accelerate downloads, select the speed just above your actual connection speed, this requires a reboot.

After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to run system advisor
