    PC seems slow(RESOLVED)

    My pc seems to have slowed down, espescialy when online.
    Have I got anything running in the background thats not supposed to be there?

    Any suggestions as to other 'system' or user programs that are not a real neccesity would be appreciated too.

    Welcome, not seeing any malware in your log.



    Are you still receiveing updates on AVG7?

    It is out of date and there is now AVG8 out there.

    Have you ever defragged your hard drive or cleaned out temp files?


    To clean your temp folder, recycle bin, etc..please download this free tool:

    CCleaner

    Don't install any Toolbars, or other programs, should it ask you!Just uncheck the option of installing the Yahoo toolbar.
    It will put a shortcut on your Desktop.

    Uncheck cookies

    Before first use:
    Select Options then Advanced.
    UNCHECK "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours"

    Click on CCleaner to start it. Then click "Run Cleaner", just use the windows tab up front by default.


    Then Reboot (Exit)

    Might give defragging a try to speed things up some, if that doesn't work then we can dig deeper.

    Thanks for the reply Neal.
    Ive carried out what you suggested, but my pc still seems alot slower than it used to be.
    Im thinking that maybe I have too many programs running in the background, but am unsure which ones are needed/not needed and how to go about turning these unwanted ones off.

    Look at all the security programs, most is not needed. AVG is way out of date and a new version is out now, I would uninstall AVG and get AVG8. Spywareguard has not been updated in years and should be uninstalled. XoftSpySE should also be uninstalled. You should run the symantec uninstal program as you have remnenets of that on your PC and will cause slowness and conflicts with AVG.
    http://service1.symantec.com/Support...05033108162039

    I would keep spybot S&D and update it, Windows Defender and get AVG8, keep spywareblaster and update it regularily, ,plus your sunbelt firewall(good), make sure windows firewall is not on as well. Only one firewall should be running at a time. Only one anti-virus should be running at a time. I would also keep MBAM as in the free edition it does not run in the background and takes very little space and use it as an on demand scanner only.

    Ad-Aware
    AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5
    AVG Free Edition
    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    Spybot - Search & Destroy
    SpywareBlaster 4.1
    SpywareGuard v2.2
    Sunbelt Personal Firewall
    Symantec Network Driver Update
    Windows Defender
    XoftSpySE
    You should always uninstall all "old"java updates

    Java(TM) 6 Update 3
    Java(TM) 6 Update 5
    Java(TM) 6 Update 7
    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 11

    Do you really need all of these popup blockers? If you use firefox it also has a popupblocker as well as Internet Explorer 7

    Popup Blocker (Windows Live Toolbar)
    Pop-Up Stopper Free Edition


    How's it running now after the "cleaning" and MBAM?

    Cheers Neal, Ive deleted all that you advised me to, and installed AGV8 as instructed.
    The pc is alot quicker than it was, I suspect that it is still not as quick as it should be, but then with the rubbish that I have installed and taking into account the age of my pc and the limits of it, I cant realy complain.
    Thanks mate!
