It seems since I installed Avast when I click on a site it's much slower opening. I had Free AVG 8.5 but was afraid that I couldn't get updates for that version any longer so I uninstalled and installed Avast suggested here. It might not have anything to do with Avast not sure. I did uninstall Avast and was going to try Microsoft Security Essentials, nut it wouldn't let me install because I don't have SP3. I did my scans with Malwarebytes and Avast and there is nothing evil lurking. Thank you.

OK cpu temp is a little high for idle so I would suggest a cleaning. Is this a desktop or laptop?



Open Autoruns, click on "Logon" tab, and UN-check:


The next file needs to be manually disabled and is only needed if you use multi language on your keyboard. If you do then skip the step.


+ "Adobe ARM" "
X "Adobe Photo Downloader"
+ "Adobe Reader Speed Launcher"
X "Adobe Reader Speed Launcher"
X "iTunesHelper"
X "QuickTime Task"
X "RealTray"
X "SunJavaUpdateSched"
X "MSMSGS"

When done restart computer and then:



Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

Download Auslogics Defrag from the link in my signature below. Auslogics Defrag in my opinion is better because:

It does a more comprehensive job at Defragging
It will actually show you what it is doing
At the end of working it will show you how much speed you picked up
You can view a online log of the files that Auslogics defragged
Please do not run any other Auslogics programs other then this one as they may cause unwanted results.

Before I do it, you mean to uncheck the items below as manually diabling the file in Autoruns. Is manually diabling the same as unchecking those items listed? Most of them were unchecked already.

Dummy I am I see the download, but I already had it as I said. I use it.

[rshaffer61]

Uncheck anything that you did not uncheck before. Then continue on with the steps.

[msbug]

I am on a desktop. I did Tfc and Auslogics Defrag. I couldn't see where to download Auslogics near your signature, but I actually had those already downloaded. I couldn't find on the auslogics about the speed? It seems a little better, although I got hung up signing in here. I will have to
see through the day if it is better.

[msbug]

it is much better than before. Not getting hung up except on maybe one or two sites. I was blaming it on Avast. So thank you very much for helping me.

[rshaffer61]

Why do you think Avast is causing a issue? Can you explain this a little please.

[msbug]

It started when I installed Avast. I had no problems before.

[rshaffer61]

That is strange as Avast is a smaller footprint then AVG and uses less system resources then AVG.
Do you have any other active AV, Malware or Spyware installed on your system right now?
Any of them real time like Tea Timer from Spybot?

[msbug]

I have Malwarebytes, Avast, Spywareblaster and Ccleaner.

[rshaffer61]

Ccleaner what exactly are you using it for?

[gloobylul]

I noticed that my computers, both a laptop and a desk top both were running slow after installing the free AVG recently. So I unistalled and installed McAfee on both. So far my desktop is ok but my laptop just turned into blue screen and I am panicking because I need the computers for school as I am an online student. I wonder if it has to do with AVG....

Another thing, coincidently is that my identity just got hacked into a few weeks ago and not just by one scammer/fraudster but according to my state's attorney general I have been hit by every major scam that is going on right now- lucky me!

[msbug]

CCleaner I have had for a long time and used it to clean out files and anything left from uninstalling. Then when I was on here, I installed TFC to clean. Why is there a problem with CCleaner? I've used it for a long time.
