| 434231 | 2006-02-27 03:54:00 | I've had broadband for a week, i love it :D but a complaint....its slown my computer down majorly... Outlook express frezes up when i turn computer on and open OE...and gotta use taskmanager to clsoe it and open it again and ti works fine... pages load faster but IE is really slow opening/minimising/closing... I always clear my cookies/history every 1-2 days... antivirus up2date, scans once a week... adaware up2date, scans once a week... cant figure it out... WINXP Home 80gig hdd 256mb ram Chris :) |

| 434233 | 2006-02-27 04:16:00 | antivirus up2date, scans once a week... adaware up2date, scans once a week... You need more than one anti-spyware program for a start. You need a firewall - NOT the one that comes with XP. And if you are on the net each day then scan each day. Especially if you aren't using a firewall. |

| 434234 | 2006-02-27 04:21:00 | Is it program updates running in the background. Now with always on broadband, plenty of programs will just go for it. Have a look at proceeses as the other posters suggest. Also, 256RAM, that is the min for running XP, I would double that for a start! |

| 434236 | 2006-02-27 04:25:00 | Which adaware program would be best to use? and would the free zonealarm firewall be suitable? |
csinclair83 (200) | ||
| 434237 | 2006-02-27 04:26:00 | I knew about the program updates wanting broadband, i actually disabled it, only do updates like SP1/SP2 etc etc, programs run fine for me :) | csinclair83 (200) | ||
| 434238 | 2006-02-27 04:30:00 | just WOW!, you have all that running & only 256RAM, sorry to repeat, but you just have to get more RAM for that system to run quicker. Also a number of programs running there that dont need to be running until you use them. 1) PowerDVD 2) MS office indexing executable 'OSA.exe' 3) Acer eConsole\MediaServerService.exe |

| 434239 | 2006-02-27 04:31:00 | Looks clean to me, but these dont have to be in startup O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\jusched.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RemoteControl] "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PDVDServ.exe" It could be Nortons. Since that can slow things down, or the hdd needs a defrag. And yup, you may need more ram, which will help. It looks like Messenger Plus may also install adware. You did untick the adware/sponsor option if there is an option didnt you? Before you installed this? |
