slowing down

**idr** · 30-10-2008

Lately my XP computer responds slowly. I ran already Malwarebytes and Ad-Aware and I run at least once per day the CCleaner, but it doesn’t help.
Will, please, somebody check the HijackThis log, and perhaps find some unnecessary items
Thanks

By running both NOD32 and AVG8 at the same time this can cause serious system performance issues and incompatibilities. You need to uninstall one of them.

In general, you must be careful not to run real-time background tools that duplicate what another tool does. Spyware Doctor, although an excellent tool, may not like the anti-malware component of AVG8.

POST A REVISED HIJACKTHIS LOG for review:

Reboot.
Post a new HijackThis log.
Provide any feedback commentary as appropriate - how things are now behaving: any new or remaining apparent issues.

I uninstalled the AVG antivirus. It works now better but I suppose that still some redundant items sit on my computer.

'Spyware Doctor' (SD) pretty much duplicates much of what 'WINDOWS DEFENDER' (WD) does but SD is much more substantial in its coverage. If SD is running real-time (always on in the background) this can be a quit a resource intensive application especially on a laptop. In contrast, WD is hardly noticeable. If applicable, you really don't want to be running both at the same time as background processes (always checking apps).

I stopped running SD in real-time since I was rarely seeing any malware to justify the performance hit on my wife's laptop (especially annoying in startup and shutdown). But, I still use it once a week as an on-demand (after-the-fact) scan. Likewise, I don't find Ad-Aware particularly necessary or productive especially with a tool like SD in use (some avoidable startup overhead).
