I'm running a Dell Pentium 4, 2.66 GHz, 512 RAM.
I've got gigs and gigs of free disk space left and I've recently defragged it.
I've run through all the pre-HiJackThis posting steps including online virus scan and the various anti-spyware prog scans. Apart from a couple of tracking cookies which are always reappearing there was nothing much to report.
But my system is running really slowly. When I click the Start button it takes 5-10 secs quite often to open the menu, and so on when running applications...
I've had extensive malware/spyware investigation help from 'coachwife' in the malware forum (She's a star) and she's pretty sure there's no infections.
She advised to come back here to the XP Forum to get extra help.
If you think you can help me get Windows running more quickly I'd be so grateful.
To see all the checks we've done so far take a look at this link (3 pages of it...stick with it!):
