Browsing very slow
My browser (Opera) has slowed to an aggravating slow speed.
Seems there is something running in the background that is just eating up processes. Tried IE also, same thing with it. Also slow with other programs such as MS Word and others.
Tried connecting computer directly to my cable modem thinking it might be something in my router but speed was the same, slow. I'm hard wired directly to my router. Used to have good speed with WIFI too but have been disabling WIFI lately thinking that might help some. It doesn't.
Get the message of Backup Did Not Complete when trying to backup. Got a message this morning when I rebooted saying "Failed to connect to a window service - Could not connect to the system event notification service".
Running AVAST.
Noticed, through Task Manager, a Norton file was running. I used to use Norton. Used Norton removal tool from Norton and Bleeping Computer but that didn't help either.
Would appreciated some help. I just don't have the knowledge to solve this. Thanks
