Applications all loading and running S L O W!!!

[runedog]

Hi,

After Windows loads, all of my programs are loading so slow and running really slow. Some even lock-up and I need to use Task Manager to stop them running?

I have ran MalwareBytes and CC Cleaner through the system but to no avail?

I have ran System Restore and restored to a previous time but, again, no joy?

All help appreciated
Graham

Hello runedog,

Try running this tool to help cleans things up. During install choose "Save As" to the Desktop.

Afterwards, post back to let us know if there is any improvement.

Hope this helps,

Hi John,

Many thanks for your reply. I have ran most of the tests but to no avail. I haven't done a in-place install yet so I'm wondering if this should be my next option? I carried out a in-place install about a month ago too.

I notice some programs, i.e. Firefox, Thunderbird, Mailwasher work ok, but some like Revo and others just freeze up?

I am trying to reinstall (in-place) Win7 but every time I click on Install Now the same option keeps appearing, Install Now?

Please upload any MBAM logs, and I would suggest trying AdwCleaner Download

You will need to reboot the computer afterwards. Please post the log file which is then produced.

Please also download Process Explorer, I will give you some instructions on what you should look for.

Thank you guys. I tried Adwcleaner but it would not run. After much thought I decided to reinstall a clean windows.
