| 1285616 | 2012-07-06 05:05:00 | Speedy, Mobo = Elite (I think) model L4S8A2 Avast has been un-installed and all reference to it removed from the registry, hijack and startup (by Ccleaner). I can not find any reference to avast anywhere else. Agent, No, this install of XP has always performed well. Had a lot of trouble updating WinXP sp2 to sp3 over the past year or so. With Speedy's help recently I was able to update to sp3 a few weeks ago. This "slow down" has occurred in the past week only, I think MS tried to auto d/l some more updates which may have caused this though nothing has been installed as far as I am aware. HDD diagnostics indicate no problem with HDD. chkdisk and surface scan appear OK. |

| 1285618 | 2012-07-06 05:46:00 | Use the Avast removal tool (www.avast.com) I see it is a sis-based system. I would say this has something to do with this prob |

| 1285620 | 2012-07-06 07:39:00 | Just up dated AdAware, Spybot, Malwerabytes and ms essentials and run all 4. No nasties found by any of them ! Run Ccleaner and defrag. |

| 1285621 | 2012-07-06 07:47:00 | Just powered of and then re booted. 25 secs to boot issues mentioned above seem to be slightly better, time will tell, stay tuned. MS PERSITENTLY keeps turning on Auto updates. I PERSITENTLY keep turning them off. I dont trust MS. I have had nothing but problems with them sinc my old 286 back in 1995 ! |

| 1285622 | 2012-07-06 07:57:00 | That's strange, when I turn updates off they stay off. I prefer to do updates manually. I let it notify me of new ones automatically though. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 1285624 | 2012-07-06 09:37:00 | 25sec boot is damn good. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1285625 | 2012-07-06 09:51:00 | 25 sec is a bit mis-leading. That is to the desktop being ready. windows is doing something causing lots of HDD activity for a further 2 to 3 minutes ! |
