With many thanks guys, if you could have a look at this for me, as DH's PC is running super slow, despite AVG finding no issues, Defender up to date, and hopefully 1gb enough to cope with his stuff.

IF it's running low on memory, how easy is it to upgrade? Or should I leave it to the pros?

asininity

Really you should start your own thread, you also need to run hijackthis as an administrator by right clicking on the HiJackThis.exe and selecting "Run as administractor" in the menu. Details of how much ram you have as well would help.

Okay, will do, I didn't know if I should, as this was a thread about slow PC issues, but obviously I've hijacked someone elses thread, so I'll get off.

Sorry OP.

That's plenty, so it's not a ram issue. Does it take 11 hours every time?

I've only done it once and it took 11 hours, but the quick scans also took between 3 and 4 hours where as they used to take minutes The last one took a reasonable time ie.40 mins. But it used to be so instant and crisp to open web pages, now it 's a wait every time, I've also noticed the CPU usage is 100% when scanning which virtually renders anything else unusable. I've been using Kaspersky for about 8 months now without any problems, so is it due to the Kaspersky update or something else?????? By the way I've also used the Kaspersky repair facility which doesn't seem to have cured it.

bazster

Windows Update for XP (particularly Office Update) can go berserk and gobble up most of your CPU for long periods. I've got so fed up with it that I switched it off and I now check for updates manually.

Difficult to say for sure, perhaps you could uninstall kaspersky and test it without briefly to prove the cause of the slow web pages. If you have a router, you could also disable the KIS firewall briefly to see if that is slowing the web access down

Have you got any other security software installed other than KIS?

onejontwo

Hmm that's an idea, in answer to your question I don't have a router and the other security I use are the on-demand scanners as listed in the first post.

If you try it, enable the windows firewall before connecting to the web

My PC has also slowed down after updating to version 736 of Kaspersky.

If you read the Kaspersky Forums there appears to be a number of issues with this latest version.
http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=4

The good news is there is a patch due for release shortly which hopefully will resolve some of the problems.

onejontwo

Aha!! Thanks for that, I'll have a go at uninstalling 2010 and reinstalling 2009. Fingers crossed.
