| 1391721 | 2015-01-08 05:39:00 | I have a problem i notice my home computer AMD Processor gets very slower say reach 100% . The Ram too gets high around 60% . Once i downloaded kaspersky internet security trial , and like i said the pc got slow . It did open Internet Explorer but i think it freezed up . So i unistall it and the later after few days i installed Norton Internet Security Trial . The outcome came it didn't slow the pc and Internet Explorer open fast no freezing . So as i writing this pc is performing normal but like i said sometimes gets slow . Things to note - Home PC has 2gb ram , 64 bit , 2.0 Ghz and is Dual Core and i have 3 windows account in it . Let me know what you think i can do to improve it , also recommend me a free software apart from cc cleaner which i have installed to clean up pc junk like bloatware and etc Thanks |

| 1391723 | 2015-01-08 07:56:00 | Download Process Monitor (technet.microsoft.com) When it starts to go slow open the program and have look as to whats slowly increasing in usage both CPU & Memory. Once you see whats doing it, then it will be easier to resolve. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1391726 | 2015-01-08 12:34:00 | Hey I did run programs like adware cleaner and junkware removal tool , it did remove thing , not a whole lot to be seen . I didn't install malware bytes because I run it like a while ago and it detect a lot of unwanted programs which avast free edition failed to detect , even though I did configure it to do . I did remove them and so far I see none . I will later install " Process Monitor " and update over here . thanks for help , further help is much appreciated . |
