I am constantly getting a Not Responding message while browsing the web sites. I tried it on both Chrome and Firefox. Both equally slow. Also just slow and sluggish when typing. I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop. Im sure I have things on here slowing it down. (It took nearly 5 mins just to type this message).  Thanks

Nice work,

Next

Download zoek.exe to your Desktop: http://hijackthis.nl/smeenk/

Important: Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware programs, so they do not interfere with the running of Zoek.exe.

on Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 right-click Zoek.exe and select: Run as Administrator
give it a few seconds to appear
copy/paste the entire script inside the codebox below into the input field of Zoek:

createsrpoint;
autoclean;
emptyclsid;
emptyffcache;
FFdefaults;
emptyiecache;
iedefaults;
emptychrcache;
CHRdefaults;
emptyalltemp;
emptyfolderscheck;delete
ipconfig /flushdns;b
  • close any open programs.
  • click the Run script button, and wait. It takes a few minutes to run.
  • when the tool finishes, the zoek-results.log is opened in Notepad: the log can also be found on the systemdrive, normally C:\
  • if a reboot is needed, the log will be opened after the reboot.

I started the program at 8:17 this morning, I then went to town, it is still running, last thing it did was at 8:48am.  I tried exiting out and it gave me a message stating it was still running. It is now 2:30pm

Reboot the computer if you can't exit out of it

Tell me when you have done that.

Download Security Check by screen317 from
https://www.bleeping.../securitycheck/
Save it to your Desktop.
Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

NOTE: If SecurityCheck aborts and you get the following message: UNSUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEM! ABORTED! try rebooting the system and then run SecurityCheck again.
