What SP are you running?

Also, did you get all updates when you reinstalled? Did you install your AV and all tools before you started surfing? How long ago did you reinstall?

[ultimateslacker2]

Avast! is a good AV.

[pito]

o, ok thanx for the info........is there anything else i can do to make it even faster?

[ultimateslacker2]

How many AV's and antispyware programs are you running right now

[pito]

avast!
avg av
avg as
super anti spyware
and i think thats it

[ultimateslacker2]

Well,

I found the problem.

You cannot have all those running at once.


Running more that one antivirus can cause problems. The rest are good on-demand scanners. I recommend you uninstall one of these

AVG Free
Avast!

[pito]

oh wait not on this computer its on my server that i got both.....im going to uninstall avg free cuz avast! is the registered version of the pro

Try running CCleaner too, the link is in my sig.

When you reinstalled, did you reinstall the mother board drivers?
What do you have starting in your msconfig? You could have un-needed programs there.

In device manager, do you have any warnings on the drivers?
