Please help me, I'm at my wits end.
My PC got increasingly slower and then just stopped. When I switched off
and logged back in there seemed to be a virus and the computer kept logging
itself off and then restarting again. After trying everything I could -
virus scan, adware scan, msconfig (though I don't know what I was looking
for).
Yesterday, I decided on doing a clean install from my restore disk supplied
with the computer. I was hoping this would set everything straight
again..Nope!
The system is still really slow, the screen sometimes hangs, there is a long
delay and it also takes a good 10-15 minutes for the system to boot when
switched off.
I've unticked everything in the start section on msconfig.
Someone suggested there may be a problem with the registry - I'm not a
computer whizz and don't know what to look for so I would be really grateful
of any help.
