  Why my PC slow down after loading of Norton Internet security 2012

  Because Norton is a Devourer of resources. I would say deleting and using a user-friendly program over Windows.
   
  Norton and McAfee are the two least friendly Windows security and swine resource to start programs. My ISP offers the McAfee security suite for free and I refuse to use it.
   
  I used to use Avast in conjunction with Windows Defender, (still a decent option), but since MSE became of age, I have used which. MSE is an anti-virus, Anti-Spyware and Anti-Malware program all in one. IMO, it is a program MS got it wrong. And all of these options are freeware.
   
  If you choose to give it a try, download and save the MSE. Remove Norton and install MSE.

• all sudden yesterday afternoon my computer slowed down like a snail.

  yesterday computer suddenly slowed down and couldn't do anything.  I had a quick scan it showed nothing wrong, so I have the disc cleaner and last night

  I've done a disk defrag it is better this morning, but not back to normal.  At least I could get on IE

  Hi Beverly,.

  Try a system restore BEFORE it starts and see if that returns things to normal and eliminates the problem. If the first attempt fails, try again using a restore point earlier. If you use Windows 7, see:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, see:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, see:http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial56.html.

  If this does not work, we will check your system and hard disk for corruption files and test your hard disk and RAM to make sure they work properly.  Follow these steps:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files. If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  To test your hard drive, try HD diagnosis (http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html) or this test: hard drive diagnostics tools and utilities (storage) - Corp of TACKtech (http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287).  If it fails the test, replace it.  If she passes the test, then it's probably nothing wrong with it.

  You can also test your RAM to http://www.memtest.org/.  Here are the additional instructions that can help: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html.  If it fails, test each piece individually to find those who are bad and replace.  If it passes, the RAM is probably OK.

  If the above does not help identify or resolve the problem (including the verification of previously suggested by the Cyber malware), then post back with the results of what you have tried and as much detail as you can provide (such as your version of Windows and other information on your system) and we will deepen the problem to find the cause and a solution and so that I could provide some of these alternatives and the procedures now, I don't want to overwhelm you with options at this stage (and these results could help refine what to try).

  Good luck!

  Hi ellajones,

  1. you receive an error message when you try to open programs on the computer?

  2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if the problem persists.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• Computer slowed down after updates

  A home computer using Vista premium with current updates began to slow down about 30 days ago.  After a normal start (about one minute) to power, the system seems to stop.  No CPU activity and a bit of disk activity.  Sometimes, keyboard and mouse die requiring a re - start.  Problem seems to go away after about 30 to 50 minutes of no apparent activity. I suspect the hard drive, but could be motherboard controller or (I hope) a software setting.

  MalwareBytes no problem after full search.

• Computer slows down with 15 minutes of the session opening.

  Original title: very slow computer.

  My Vista OS slows down to about 15 minutes of logging. If I clean the registry, etc. I see a lot of files, namely .mdmp, .log, .wxi, .wer and .evm files. These occupy a lot of space and appear to be responsible for my computer slowing to a point where I have to wait about five minutes before I can click on my mouse again.

• Computer slows down and freezes followed by blue screen.

  My computer has been slowing down and stop seemingly randomly, lately, sometimes even resulting in a blue screen. I was wondering if I could get some help here.

  After a restart of the blue screen, I got the standard error message "your computer has recovered from an unexpected shutdown.

  some help would be appreciated as it happened a lot recently.

  Download the official tester of WD here: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=612&sid=3&lang=en&print=y.    Run all the tests.  I'd be surprised if you do not have to FAIL as a result.  Understand that these are WD asking its customers to guarantee to run tests to prove that WD should replace their dirves.

  54 degrees C is too hot.  Mine 32 tracks.  The high temperature is just another symptom that you say it's a failure.

  When a player throws a bad sector, it is likely to have more to come.  Yes, there are routines to 'fix' sectors defective, but given the cost of a new disc and the benefits of the most recent, it just makes no sense to fool around with a piece of material that might be causing a lot of headaches

  Everything simply good judgment says that you invest time with the help of a failing drive.  Get off your data when you can't always.  Buy yourself a replacement.  Probably less than $100. They are really not so difficult to change.  Tips: When you buy, make sure it is a 7200 RPM drive.  Buy the so-called OEM drives, they are exactly the same but less expensive because you are not buying the package.  There is a very noticeable difference in performance between the most common 5400 and 7200.  Your current drive is a 5400 RPM one.

  From the data above, you almost 750 G.  It seems that 500 would do the trick.

• Windows 7 Service Pack 1 made my computer slow down

  Yesterday, I was pretty stupid to install Windows 7 Service Pack 1 in my laptop HP dv6 - 1253cl and now all my laptop programs take longer to start, compared to the day before yesterday. I have installed any hardware or additional software in the meantime. The only difference is the Service Pack. My main program, Call of Duty world at war now takes FIVE times as long to start and also between screens. Answer now is too late and all programs now freeze for about 30-45 seconds before they meet again.

  I tried to uninstall Service Pack 1, but inexplicably, there are a ton of updates that have not been deleted.

  Microsoft does not control the quality of patches that release? What can I do now to find the performance that I had only two days ago?

  Hi daffy688,

  Windows 7 Service pack and other updates to Windows are released to improve the performance, reliability and security of the system, there could be several reasons why you experience performance problems on your computer.

  I want to clarify if you have uninstalled or removed Service Pack 1 from your computer.

  Try the following steps:

  Method 1: Run the troubleshooter of performance and then check

  Open the troubleshooter of Performance

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-performance-Troubleshooter

  Method 2: If a Protection of resources Windows (WRP) file is missing or is damaged, Windows may not behave as expected. Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 3:   Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

  Follow step 1 in the link below,
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

  My machine was running fast enough, until I installed SP1 for Windows 7, 64-bit last weekend (February 25, 2011).

  Now it's SLOW start, it takes 2-3 minutes and programs are extremely slow to respond.

  Can you make any suggestions outside reimage my entire system nettoieriez this?
