Want to improve my Sony PC. Approx 10yrs old. Very slow from startup often taking 5+min from first switching on.
The only hardware upgrade its had is RAM bringing it to 1.75GB. Software, I run AGV free, Advanced System Care and Spybot.

Someone with more knowledge than me will probably be along soon, but my opinion would be to replace AVG with Avast (smaller and quicker).
These can go from startup:-

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe ARM] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\AdobeARM.exe":wall: Flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality - Am I flogging a dead horse? :wall:
Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.0 -
As far as I can see you have two problems.
It's 10 years old, PCs were a lot slower back then
You have under 2Gb RAM - it's barely enough. Upgrading to 4Gb will help.One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.0 -

Depending on whether the OS is 32 or 64-bit, it'll only recognise around 2-3gb of RAM if you upgrade it and it's on the 32-bit version.
It is 10 years old too, which is pushing it0 -
Absolute rubbish!
Really.
Even Microsoft say that the minimum requirement is 1.5Mb the OP has 1.75Mb which is one of the main reasons it's slow.

Still going through the process. Malwarebytes stows no problems.

Ignore this it's complete rubbish. I'm trying to do too many things at once.
In theory 1.75 should be enough but Windows does like a lot of memory.One by one the penguins are slowly stealing my sanity.0 -

You seem to be very confused or is it that you simply can't read?- At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM (128 MB is recommended)
- At least 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available space on the hard disk
:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Right, done all 12 steps, still took a long time to boot. Running seems slightly improved though certainly not fast.
