lately my desktop has been running slow. not only online but with everything else. i've ran about 5-7 different virus scans and found no viruses. when i shut down the computer, it won't turn off. all the icons, control bar, everything goes away but the background stays on and is frozen like that till i pull the plug. what can i do to stop that and speed it up?

backup all ur shiz and reformat/reinstall windows... it will run like new again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif till it gets junked up again anyways

that will be the only way to get a really noticeable improvement

word

or get diskeeper or some other realtime defragmenter

it'll defragment your files as they're written, so you wont have to go back through and defrag your entire hard drive, which takes forever

true

**** and warez sites are the top 2 offenders for virus and spyware problems

your computer either came with system restore disks, or it came with a restore feature installed onto the hard drive

you should completely reformat your hard drive, install a fresh windows installation, and from now on use firefox to browse ***** sites

Sometimes adware will junk up your comp worse than virii

Well, too late, his computer is PWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!KNFKNSKNF

seriously, open the box that your computer came in, pull out the instructions

and find out how to do a system restore

it either came with disks or something preinstalled on the hard drive

and i'm not talking about the windows xp built-in restore thing
