  • When getting started, my computer is slow and unresponsive?

    For the last two or three days, I noticed that my computer is very slow and unresponsive. None of the programs that I click on will open and usually everything will freeze if I press what either. When I put my computer in Mode safe mode (with networking), everything seems to work very well. When in Mode safe, everything I click actually works, but it seems that it's not when I start my computer using the option "Start Windows normally". I have a laptop that is currently running on Windows 7. Anyone happen to know how I can fix this problem? Can what steps I take to fix my laptop? I also tried searching for virus and so far it is said that my computer is fine and has no virus. I used CCleaner (Pro) to "clean" my computer and my computer still seems slow, unresponsive and freezes quiet a bit. I also system restore my computer to an earlier time, but it is still giving me the problem slow, freezing and not responding like it.

  • My iPad has been slow and unstable. What can I do if this is caused by a virus from the Internet because that is what I suspect. The problem started after a message like "scripts to run.

    My iPad has been slow and unstable - it actually seems to be hung when I use it. Once I put it, a blue line with four faces (which forms a rectangle or square) appears on the display and moves as he tries to anticipate my next actions or touch on the scree. All started about four days ago while I was downloading of articles in google scholar. A message that reflects something as "run scripts" or "scripts to run" appeared just before the problem started. Please advise on what I can do.

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.
