Defragmenting greatly increases computer performance. Of course it'd help.

I have a slow PC and defragmenting makes no difference

can be cured if you post a hijackthis log, physical ram total and commit charge figures from task manager, performance in a new thread

Thanks will have a look hopefully tomorrow when I have more time.

Is it the results/details i need to post in a new thread

closed

yes, if you spend a minute doing it now, I'll look at it and make suggestions, as probably will others

Will take literally a few minutes for the log; simply a matter of saving this to your desktop:
http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/hijackthis/beta/HijackThis.exe

Then hold LEFT SHIFT and RIGHT CLICK on it to Run as Administrator. When it loads, select Scan and Save Log, and then copy/paste the log that comes up in Notepad.

Is that what you want, its from that trend link. i cant even get my task manager to appera at the moment

closed

better in your own thread, but doesn't matter

start with uninstalling adaware, spybot and avg, and replace with avast 6 free

ctrl alt del taskmanager, performance, commit charge, and physical memory total

The best way of cleaning up a slow or badly infected machine is to backup all your data to an external drive, and do a factory restore using the factory restore partition (see manual or manufacturers website) or Windows disc. The alternative is to do it manually :-

This is a general guide on cleaning up infections and speeding up pc's https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2436849

If you haven't all ready done it, Install Malwarebytes and do a FULL (not quick) scan (after updating it), fix anything found before closing, otherwise you'll have to do it all over again. If anything was found reboot the machine before continuing. http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/

If you know you have just been infected, with a fake antivirus for example, running system restore to a previous restore point is often the fastest way of getting your machine working again

Making any changes to a PC setup always comes with a slight risk of something going wrong, the worse case scenario is an unbootable PC - ideally you should have got a backup of important data on dvd or external disk, and a disk image backup (http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp) or windows disc/factory restore partition available before you start. In the unlikely event that anything does go wrong, post on another pc for advice.
__________________________________________________

If you suspect an infection, here are some other virus scanners to try, let them fix anything found

http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/AVPTool/
http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro
http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe

************************************************


Scanning with all the scanners above along with your resident scanner should remove most or all infections if there are any present on your machine, below is some specific (optional) advice based on your log which may help to improve speed and tidy things up.
__________________________________________________


Install and run ccleaner (untick the google toolbar during the install). Untick the "windows log files" box, under the system heading before cleaning. Also Tick the java cache tick box under CCleaner, applications, internet to wipe the java cache which sometimes hides infections. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim

Install and run startuplite, accept suggested changes - http://www.malwarebytes.org/StartUpLite.exe

Disable ctfmon - control panel, regional and language options,languages, details, advanced, tick the Turn off advanced text services, ok

Click the java icon in control panel, updates, untick check for updates

If you want a speedy machine, Use windows firewall and replace your antivirus and security software with avast 6 free - (a fast and lightweight virus scanner with good detection rates) http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download :

This is a list of (or remnants of) security software evident in your log, you may wish to uninstall these in Control Panel (add/remove programs or programs/features) to keep your PC running smoothly, too much overlapping or bloated security or useless tuning software can have a drastic effect on performance - always leave one resident scanner running (eg avast/avira etc)
