In general my pc is slow now.When I shut down it takes for ever.When I boot up it takes for ever.
I'm running (Windows 98se-Internet Exployer #6-Outlook Express #6-Dialup.)I'm using Norton AntiVirus 2005. I have Google Toolbar.I got the pc in 2000 from Dell. Demension XPS,Intel Pentium #3.I keep getting popups.
In your opinon:( What are the best AntiVivus-AntiSpyware-Popup Blockers-Registry Cleaners,etc.. or over all maintenece to have on your pc.) Any and all help would be greatly appriciated.I'm trying to get my pc running close to what it was in the beginning.
I think I will be going with, (Ad-Aware & CCleaner.) I'm aiso learning towards, (Hijackthis.)
I don't want to make a mistake on how to use anything. I'm being a little cautious. Thank-You,
John God

I would recommend AVG for antivrus, Adaware and Spybot S&D for spyware protection, i hve tried Registry Mechanic, CCleaner for cleaning up. Run a good disk defragmenter regularly to keep system performance smooth.
To get your PC running close to what it was in the begnning , do ur maintenance religiously, you could post ur log to have someone help u get it clean of spyware and then do the cleaning up.
Have only necessary programs starting up and running in the background to improve speed. You might consider adding more RAM also.

[john god]

I'm thinking about going with these applications. Let me know if any of these would be wrong. Thank-You....Ad-Aware---CCleaner---
I already have Norton AtiVivus 2005 on my pc,would I still need AVG.
Also I was thinking about - (Hijackthis). Can these all run together, or would I have to remove somethimg.

I suggested AVG instead of Norton as it tends to take up a lot of system resources, dont run both.
you could get your HJT log examined as per spike_hacker's suggestions.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww....

You need to post a log in Malware...your log is not pretty. I'll bet I know where your lagging is coming from...

Please go to the Malware Forum and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the Start Here.

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself...then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum. Be patient, the Malware Forum is a very busy place and a two or three day wait is not unusual. DO NOT REPLY TO OR BUMP YOUR OWN LOG. If it shows a reply it may be overlooked as one that is being worked on.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.

Thanks to everyone who helped me. I ran cleanup & ad-aware, and then posted a hijack this log in malware forum.
