Hello, If you are running ZoneAlarm on the system try getting rid of it and see how much that helps. I had ZoneAlarm on mine and the difference after removing it was profound. You have to be careful however. ZoneAlarm must be unloaded from the auto start the computer restarted and then the uninstall performed. You might consider employing a utility such as Revo uninstaller to assist in the removal of remnants.Remember not to allow restarting until Revo has had a chance to remove leftover files and registry traces, the latter being the most important Regards David Regards David. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Nutt Sent: October-01-09 1:57 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: COMPUTER RUNNING VERY SLOW Hi Kevin, What anivirus are you using?

No, the PC isn't on a network (I have a laptop and a desktop but they arn't connected). I've run C-Cleaner yesterday on the basis that thhis should clear out any extraneous junk, however the PC is still running slow. I've also updated my anti-virus (the database updates automatically, i.e. the virus database but I've updated the programme files manually). Do you or anyone else have any suggestions re programmes to detect and/or remove malware?
