Hi!

Sorry if this is in the wrong place!

I have a friends laptop, it seems to be exceedingly slow (When I go on command prompt it doesn't show the CPU to be using an awful lot of power), I go on safe mode and it runs perfectly!

I installed some anti-virus and what not, I usuualy use AVG but that won't install in safe mode, so I used Avast. I deleted everything they found! I also used panda for an online scan. After all this - nothing! Still just as slow!

Does anyone have any ideas?! I usualy resort to formatting in a case like this, but my friend didn't make a backup disk!

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Your computer can become slow for many reasons, one of which can be malware so I would like you to get a quick check for malware over at our malware removal forum.

I don't think this is malware related, it seems like you have installed multiple anti-virus programs and as a result, they are conflicting
