so confused and fustrated - not responding error okay so i have tried to do the steps to fix the not responding issue on my computer and i am unable to.
i did the sfc/scannow and other techniques but now i'm just lost. my back is against the wall. and my computer is driving me nuts.
everytime i go on to a site or anything at that i get the not responding then kicks in after 45secs or so. i just got this new computer so to think that the only way to correct my error is to purchase a fix it tool which i'm not very happy about since i just dropped money to purchase this computer. please help me someone anyone..........
my issue is i keep getting the not responding error. i have tried to do the sfc/scannow and after it runs its scans all it tells me that it was unable to correct my errors. i have tired to go back to a earlier recovery date but thats not working either.
also another issue i'm having, and i dont know if it has to do anything with the not responding error, everytime i enable the UAC it locks my c drive and i am unable to do anything to my files. now i worked my around that issue but now its disabled.
can someone please help me..........i really dont want to purchase something to fix the issue if i can do it myself | My System Specs |

Although new, run a good antivirus scan, download and run this Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes
It could be all the bloatware. How does it run in safe mode and clean boot? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

okay i scanned my computer with the program you suggested.
results: one infected file and it was successful removed. as i logged back on i notice my computer is a bit faster in some areas but extremely slow in other. fast when i log on and my files boot rapidly unlike before. slow in the way that i tried to log on to the internet and it took roughly about 5 minutes just to load a internet page up. not to mention to get a program on my desktop to open i clicked it and nothing happen so i clicked again. finally i just right clicked the desktop icon and after a matter so minutes it loaded. i am still getting the not respond issue | My System Specs | | |

You made 1/2 the test, the safe mode. Now do the other, clean boot. When done we will have a lot of answers. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

Two separate tests, testing different part of the OS.
Regular boot with clean boot.
