I defrag twice a week no matter what. this way my system is always straight. This will make it easier to find a problem if it should occur. I always tell people to defrag at least once a week or if you are adding or deleting files alot, restarting or turning on your system allot you may want to go with the twice a week suggestion.

[micalparkz]

All right

Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions.

If there are anyother good programs, kindly let me know

[rshaffer61]

What kind of programs would you like to know about?

[micalparkz]

Any good programs which maintain the computer well. Just like you told me about the defragment one.


I've just got another query:

My firefox has suddenly started working slow !... taking too much time to open websites

Has it got something to do with the settings I changed for firefox recently, following a suggestion mentioned in the forum?

[rshaffer61]

It shouldn't be a problem with what we did earlier. The first three below are in my signature below.

I use Avast for my AV
Superantispyware for spyware
Malwarebytes for malware
Allot of the GTG Techs recommend using Comodo Firewall if you don''t like Windows firewall program.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browserClick Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browserClick Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

I'm using AVG for anti-virus, how is that?

I have Malwarebytes for malware, so if I install Superanti Spyware, won't it be a duplication?

I just need help again

Earlier while looking up geekstogo forum, I came across this topic to speed up firefox
http://www.geekstogo...er-t177375.html

I did as they told us there but NOW, my firefox has gone realllllllllllllllllllllllllll slow Taking [bleep] lot of time to open webpages, even sometimes pages don't open. Plus, my yahoo isn't signing in either.

Can you please tell me how to undo the settings described there?

Thanks a lot !

[rshaffer61]

Superantispyware is for spyware
AVG is anti virus
malwarebytes is for malware

Each is for a specific task so no conflict involved. As for Firefox please redo the steps in the tutorial and make sure everything is set as it says. If they are then you may be having another issue. I did the same tweaks and my Firefox did speed up. Double check the suggested numbers you used to make sure they are within the parameters stated. Let me know what you discover.

[micalparkz]

Yea, the figures are right. Last night I scanned laptop with super antispyware and found some inections.

Firefox is better now but still not fast as it used to be after i freshly format my laptop. Moreover, when I open youtube or other online streaming websites, computer gets slow and the videos don't even stream fast.

However google video always works perfect and fast !

[rshaffer61]

What kind of infections? Any names?

[micalparkz]

Can't remember, sorry.

There was some Trojan.. and maybe the cookies it detected as "yieldmanager"


Now there are stange problems happening. My yahoo wasn't signing in.. and now.. whenever I open Winamp player, I get an error message.. I'm attaching the image so that you may see..... what is happening?
