slow pc

Posting this from my phone ciz pc is so fucking retarded.
i am assuming i got a virus from youporn.com.harley told me not to go there cuz they give u viruses but i jad a hardon and was sick of redtubes bland selection of whores. ah. the decisions we all make with hardons :/
this is a reoccuring issue. rstartup is slow now. right click on desktop is slow now. loading evrything ie slow. i wamt to literally throw this tower out my window with all my kight then smash the remains with a baseball bat. i have avg free trial. definitely not buying that shitry antivirus if this is how my pc acts on it. cant load up etqw without pc freezing amd me smacking the shit out of my tower
do i need a new pc or am i doing something wrong?

sounds like time to reinstall the OS and go with a decent antivirus...remember you get what you pay for
i personally like either Bitdefender or Kaspursky

1. Start in Safe mode
2. Open My Computer - Tools - Options - Folder Options - View Hidden Folders
3. if Win7 - Users Folder - *Your Name* - Open AppData folder - Local - Look for any executable file with random letters/numbers and delete it. Most simply virus/malware can be found here.
4. Open the Temp folder inside AppData - Local. Delete anything in here. Do the same for LocalLow and Roaming folders
5. Run full scan with AVG. Get Spybot Search and Destroy. Run it
6. Do a Disk Cleanup and delete EVERYTHING it finds. Also go into it's options and have it remove any backup files windows automatically stores. They will be infected to.
7. Start - Run - type msconfig - go to the Startup Tab - Uncheck and delete any suspicious looking item.
8. Rerun virus scans.
9. Start normally and see what's up

A really good scanner I used to use was MalwareBytes. Get a cracked version for all the tools.

I used to remove Virus's left and right for employees personal computers at my last job. Let me know if I can help.

AVG?

screw that! resource HOG!

Microsoft Essentials is just as good and less intrusive - imo

just run malwarebytes and superantispyware for any viruses - if your infected they will find it and clean..

then run ccleaner..

Kaspersky is great

I just use ex-girlfriend 2.0, a friend with benefits programs...I fix stuff around her house she promises not to give me a virus....live girls are better
I use Norton 360 avail at newegg for 3 pcs $50.00

I'm with Loki. Microsoft Security Essentials is great. It's also free.

and for sites:
freeones and the hun are where it's at.
(really not safe for work. BTW)

That and Caution* are all I've been using for a couple of years.

*see my earlier post about using a non-Admin account

will give microsoft security a try as well as new login. i tried to use system restore and it refused to let me go back AT ALL.

Eh, I'm always paranoid about compromised systems. I mean if you know you got something then you can never definitively say that its clean. The only thing you can say with certainty is that your system got compromised. You can't say what else got brought in after the compromise occurred, only that you deleted what you found. That's why I advocate a format and clean install whenever a system is determined to be compromised. Virus scanners are good for detecting compromise, but untrustworthy after a compromise has been active.

IOW, an alert that a virus or trojan that has been active is a big shiny red flag that an undetected root kit is present and active. Disinfecting the virus or trojan doesn't mean that the root kit it brought in is gone. So if you have the install discs, give yourself peace of mind and do a format. Install your preferred protection. MS Security Essentials is reportedly good, as are others.

Kaspersky should be awesome, certainly they established their ostensible bona fides by publically identifying Stuxnet, and now Flame. I would love to have those guys on my side. But between Eugene Kaspersky's KGB training, and the fact that as a company based based literally within six miles of the Kremlin it operates pretty much unmolested and with the blessing of the FSB (Federal Security Service, damn Russians never knew shit about acronyms, FSB, CCCP? Seriously? I think its the Polish they absorbed...) Anyways, if a commercial company within Moscow has a root level software tap into millions of computers worldwide, like Kapersky does, and its not being utilized by the successor of the KGB, then literally hundreds of years of Russian experience in clandestine operations is being disregarded...

And you might want to look into old school usenet. LOTS of media files on there that are verifyable as scanable, nonexecutable data, and you don't need an exploit prone web browser to view them. Easynews is a usenet provider with a decent history and reasonable rates.

Kaspersky's rootkit killer is the best!!

TDSSKILLER- its free and I advise everyone to download it and run it from time to time..

Which is why I said to reinstall. It's a pain in the butt but I like the warm fuzzy feeling.

lol. a warm fuzzy feeling from a "pain in the butt"?

Man, the fun I miss using a Mac...
